 We're going to go to the Warrior Shams, because that has also been a bit of a disaster so far this season. But Draymond's officially reinstated. What do we expect to happen next? Reinstated over the weekend. He's going to spend this week to ramp up. There's a chance he travels with the team on their upcoming road trip, four game road trip that starts in Chicago on Friday, and potentially play on that road trip. But they need him back. Clay Thompson spoke to it last night. We're not going to be whole. We're not going to be ourselves until we have Draymond coming back in the lineup. So that clock will start ticking potentially as soon as this weekend or early next week. OK, so all eyes on Draymond when he comes back. What do you expect, Danny? I expect that he brings them a lot of help. I think the biggest fault or biggest their weakness right now is defensively. And he brings a ton of that. I still think they need a piece or some movement. I don't think Draymond's going to be the one person that make big changes. He will change some things. Obviously, if they open up the floor for Steph, well, he won't struggle as much. And for Clay, they won't struggle as much. But I do think they need another piece or two to give them the spacing that they normally have and need for them to be able to thrive in the system that they've been thriving in the last decade. Yeah, I think his time out right now also kind of showed the words that maybe Kaminga is not ready. Maybe Moody's not ready. Trace Jackson has given them good minutes. But again, they need more. They need help. They need the dynasty. We always talk about the dynasty's ending, right? But they can compete, and they can win. And Draymond Green, he's not going to be coming back a completely different person. He's going to come back. He's going to give that energy. He's going to be talking. I'd love to know the over-under on him getting a technical foul his first game back. Oh, that's a good one. But he's just a tech. We should bet this. If he gets tossed the first game, does he just go back on suspension chums? Yeah, just show yourself out, right? Well, again, I think this was a great opportunity for these young guys to get those minutes. I think Andrew Wiggins is starting to realize that this team really needs him. Clay Thompson is going to continue to shoot the ball. And Steph Curry, whenever you have Steph Curry, you have a chance to win. So I look for them to not panic, add pieces if they can. They do have some young pieces that I like. But it is what it is. This is who they are at this point. Who do you trust more? Because they're in the 11th spot. We just talked Lakers in the 10th. If you had to pick one that would go further, who do you trust more between those two teams? Danny, you first. Between Lakers and Warrers? Yeah, like Come April. I probably trust the Lakers get healthy. I probably trust the Lakers a little more. I said, I think the Warriors need another piece or just more maturity, some of those guys to grow, which I think Trace Jackson has done a tremendous job his rookie year. Kominga's been playing well. I think them just getting a rhythm in the chemistry wise, getting fit, and just getting more trusting in the coaching staff for them to play. Moody has played at a pretty good level. He just hasn't had the consistent time. So right now, I have the Lakers above them right now in terms of trusting them until the playoffs. I agree. I like the Lakers more. What if Steph Curry would have been something there? Shams, Jonathan Kominga of it all, last week you reported that he had lost all faith in Steve Kerr, and then things have happened between now and then. What's the latest? So yeah, I reported last week, Jonathan Kominga had lost faith in Steve Kerr and didn't believe that Steve Kerr would allow him to reach his potential. And they've had a fractured relationship this season from everything I'm told. But after that comes out, Jonathan Kominga placed a season high, I think career high, 36 minutes on Friday against the Pistons, or Friday, Saturday against the Pistons. So the Warriors, this is a situation they've had to manage behind the scenes. This is someone that seventh overall pick a few years ago in the 2021 NBA draft, he's someone that they feel highly about. He had 16 points, four rebounds, four assists that night last week when he got benched against Denver on Wednesday night. And that was for him, the straw that broke the camel's back. He was clearly done with Steve Kerr after that. But they've met and the Warriors are hopeful that they can work on this. But this is something that, if these two guys don't figure it out, they have to, could Jonathan Kominga be elsewhere? Does he stay? Steve Kerr is in the last year of his deal. Is he back? Where does he go? There's a lot of questions this Warriors organization has to answer. We've talked about Clay Thompson. We've talked about Jamron Green. Jonathan Kominga is just another layer in what's been a turbulent season for the Warriors. I wonder, when he went public with it, you're always just like, ooh, that's awkward for everybody involved. But it seems to have worked out in his favor, Danny, that Jonathan Kominga took his worries out there. Yeah, it does. Usually it doesn't for younger players back in the day, but now guys have a platform and able to speak their minds and get some change. But hopefully it stays consistent. He's a great player. He's somebody they need to grow and to groom for them to be successful or stay successful through the years to come. So yeah, I'm happy for him that things are changing and the better for them, better, but not everybody can do that. Me and Chandler, we were younger. We could just go to the media and say, or talk to somebody and say, we're unhappy with our role. And credit to Steve Kerr, most guys aren't happy with their role or minutes. He said he played 15 years. Most guys play six to 10 years. They aren't happy with the minute. They want to play more. Everybody wants to play more. Everybody wants to play more. Unfortunately, there's a one basketball. There's a one head coach that makes the decisions. And he has to decide who gets, run through the offense the most and who gets the most minutes. So luckily in his favor, he's able to have some people on his behind him and have his back until the push for him to get more minutes, especially right now when they're losing. It makes no sense for a guy that talented to not play when they're not winning games. If I said this to Kevin McHale in my first few years, he wouldn't play me for a week, just out of spite. Yeah, I mean, what about Pop? Would Pop do that? I mean, you never hear anybody go public. Yeah, I would be traded or I'd be sent for a month. Your finger print is no way. Getting more, Danny. You can't get in the building. Go to the arena. It's a different world we live in. But is that true though? Because when Steve Kerr said the thing about, you know, I played 15 seasons that I was never happy and I thought, oh, that's just like Steve Kerr doing Steve Kerr stuff. But is that true? Like most players are just not happy? And yeah, it also comes in, look at Clay Thompson, look at Russell Westberg. Look at guys like this that are historic players that are first ball at Hall of Famers and they're not happy at this juncture of their careers. Yeah, for sure. Everybody wants to play. Everybody wants to start. All your boys and your family tell you how great you are and boost you up. And that's not the case. It's the people that succeed are the guys that understand their role, that know how to adapt to a system, that know how to play with other stars. And that's how you have a long career. So Kaminga, again, he's talented. He's top pick in the draft. He's supposed to be, you know, expectations are high from his circle around him. Dramon greens out, this is a golden opportunity and he's not happy so he can voice that but doesn't mean he's right. It doesn't mean anything's gonna change but it did in this case. Yeah, shockingly. Shams, Chris Paul with the injury last week. It's like when it rains it pours up in San Francisco. How long is he out? Fractured left hand. It's gonna be several weeks. He's gonna be out. So don't expect Chris Paul to be back any time within the next, you know, four weeks. That's really his timeline. His timeline will begin, you know, around that all-star break, post-trade deadline. But this Warriors team has a lot of decisions to make. When you think about players that could be available, I mean, you know, Chris Paul, Andrew Wiggins, like what happens with their future? All a question. It's just, I didn't think we'd get to this point in the Warriors story where it just seemed like a disaster and it keeps getting worse day in, day out. But losing CP3, Danny, how bad is it for the team? Oh, that's a tough one. He said he's a great stable backup point guard. He's the one that's been set in the table. Now, not saying Corey Joseph can't do the job, but it's different when you don't have CP as that backup. And Steph, without Draymond being there, Steph has to play more point guard. When you get Draymond back, you get another point guard who plays point forward. It helps, you know, Steph play off the ball some more. And when you have CP there, it helps them play off the ball more. So yeah, it seems like they're down another body, another experienced, mature body, and another guy that can set the table or, you know, keep Steph off the ball where he can take some breaks but also just come off pin downs and do what he does best. So yeah, it's a tough break for the gold state right now. It just seems like this team's been so frustrated all your life. Clay's irritated about not getting the extension. Draymond is doing his things. You can see Steph Curry is physically annoyed with everything that's happening. Kominga's not happening. Wiggins is struggling. So Kerr is complaining about, you know, the refs or how their foul calls are guarding Yolkin. So it seems like there's always something with the team and now they lose Chris Paul, who's their stable vet guy who's been in these situations before and this now falls on the young guys again. Can Pudzinski, did he say it, Pudzinski? Pudzinski. Pudzinski. He, Corey Joseph. He's loved though, that kid. I mean, he's a stud, I like him. There's like t-shirts in the front row with his face so I'm like, okay. But again, they're now there. He's gonna get even more of an opportunity as before and let's see what he can make of it. I mean, look, it's no secret Chris Paul's getting up there in age. You know, at some point, one of these rides will be the final but surely we don't end like this for Chris Paul. This can't possibly be the way this thing ends. I don't think so. I hope not, man. I think it'd be weird to see him retire as a warrior, honestly. Right? So I hope he has at least another year or, you know what I'm saying? I don't think I'm fractured. No, but I'm saying like this is, I mean, this is a team that has a reservoir right now and we could all be eating crow at some point but no real shot to do much damage come playoffs. And that's sort of where Chris Paul is in his career is looking for that ride, but I don't know. You're right. When he got traded the Warriors, the big thing was trying to win a championship and they, you know, they're out of the playing. Do the Warriors regret the whole Jordan pool move at all now or no? I think they're happy with their decisions though, right? I think they feel like they're in a good place. What do you think, Danny? What do you think about that, Jordan? That's the most out of it. Sounded like a sarcastic question and response. It's not exactly the Warriors are lighting up the league over there either. That's fair. I think Jordan Paul is a different player in Golden State than he is in DC. So to stay younger and have another threat, another three and D guy, so to speak, frees up the floor for Clay and Steph. I think, you know, them looking back, I would have forced it to make it happen or for a dream on him to make amends and to play through. I think even with Jordan, I think he probably stays a little healthier than CP maybe, but also just give him the dynamic. I was not saying CP's not a great player. I think Jordan was a better fit for them to allow Clay and Steph to have more open looks and also Wigs, Wigs to do what he can do. So yeah, I think the trade, they might have looking back and be like, could have maybe forced or kept Jordan. Say what you want about the kid, but they could use those 30 points in eight right now. Just saying. Yeah. Just entertaining at the very least.
