Dray rants on Skip Bayless, Kendrick Perkins & media accountability | Draymond Green Show

What's up everybody? It's Draymond Green. Make sure you subscribe to the Volumes YouTube channel below so you don't miss any more of this great content going forward. And by the way, let's get into that Twitter beef. Twitter beef with everyone. I don't have Twitter beef with anyone, just an FYI, because why would I have beef? I'm kind of just telling y'all like what it is and telling y'all how I feel and like, most importantly, to shut up. Because quite frankly, we don't want to hear it. And so you may have seen me at the parade, and I'm just like, in every interview, I'm like, shut up. And the reason being is because you have these experts that does all this talking less analyzing, but a bunch of talking heads. And they just talk, talk, talk, talk, talk. But what about getting back to actually analyzing the game? What about, um, like, why, why is it so important to try— I know why it's important, actually. But all these hot takes, like, what about explaining the game of basketball and and what's going on and like what it means in the games within the game and the advantage, the advantages that one could get. Winning the NBA Finals, for those of you that don't understand, it is the smallest edge that it takes is that, and that's who's going to win the NBA Finals. It's the smallest edge. It's not who can score the most points. It's not, is Steph Curry gonna score 39 points and Jayson Tatum gonna score 29 points or 39 points or what? It's not that. That's not what wins you the NBA Finals. It is the smallest edge that wins someone the NBA Finals. And because all these dumb talking heads never done it, they don't understand it. Even the one that has done it don't act like he's done it because he's an idiot and a moron. Yeah. And wasn't really that good of a player. And so I'm talking about Kendrick Perkins, by the way. Like, so he don't even understand like how to even talk, speak about winning a championship and the things that go into it. And like the advantages that you need to gain or lack thereof and giving someone an advantage. I mean, it comes down, look, I'm very close with Jayson Tatum. Obviously he's been on the show, which we appreciate. But that's— JT is a little brother to me. It was bothering me to not speak to him at all during the Finals. Aaron Miles, super tight with Aaron Miles. Me used to sit and play dominoes entire flight with Aaron Miles when he was here the last few years. It was bothering me not to talk to them guys. Because when you've built a relationship like I've built with those two, like a part of me is like, man, I wanna say what's up to my brother. But the other side of me, no, I don't have absolutely nothing to say to him or A-Miles, neither one of them. Because it's the smallest edge that wins you an NBA Finals. And you can't let anything get in the way of that. And so for me, in going through that, yes, that bothered me. But I recently, I just talked to A. Miles and JT on the phone a couple days ago, and I told them, like, I FaceTimed both of them, like, what's up? And the look on both of their faces when they answered the phone, obviously it's not at the same time, but when they answered the phone, the look on both of their faces was priceless. I wish I would've screenshotted it, but I didn't. Because some things are just for those moments and that's one of 'em. But the look on both of their faces was priceless. But I called both of 'em and I said, "Hey man, I'm just calling to break the ice. Like I know we ain't spoke few weeks, but I'm just calling to break the ice." And I specifically waited till after the parade to break the ice because you know, like you still in those moments and you know, you're preparing for the parade and it's still early. So I waited till after the parade to hit both of them, chop it up, check in. And it was great. It was absolutely incredible. But I brought that up and just speaking on the edge and the smallest edge that it takes to win the NBA Finals. And what is the significance of that? The significance of that is ESPN had us like 80 to 20. And what is that? What do I mean by 80/20? 80/20 rule. We've heard of that before, right? These people had us with a 20% chance to win the NBA Finals and an 80% chance to lose. So I asked the question, and apparently it was like, made by the Basketball Power Index. So I asked the question, who makes these? Like, who comes up with these numbers? Like, what's the formula? Is it the formula— like, is the formula made based off of the idiots that be talking about the game, that just be having talk about the game of basketball? Because that's clearly what it looks like. Like, how does your index come up with it 80-20 chance for us. But it's because, I don't know, again, I don't know what makes up this index and like how you come up with that, but clearly it's flawed and clearly broke. I think after game 4, we might have been still like 20-something percent chance of winning, which is— Yeah. That's absolutely insane because that means you didn't watch game 4 and be like, uh-oh, this ain't right. Something here not right. And I see what's happening here. No, but most people can't see that because they don't quite understand. So let's get back into these talking heads. Skip Bayless. No, I don't want to come on your show. No, I'm not going to come on your show and debate. But if you want to analyze the game of basketball, and we come on there and we do that, I'd absolutely consider it. I'd consider it. Don't say I'm gonna come, but I will consider it. But if you want to sit there and debate, I didn't go to law school, brother. Like, I don't want to come on your show and debate sports or debate anything else. I'm not Because I didn't go to law school. If I wanted to debate something, then I just like, I would have went to law school and really did that. Not try to make basketball that. Like, no, basketball is beautiful. Basketball, there's a lot to analyze in the game of basketball if you know the game. And I think that's a problem a bunch of you guys run into. You can't give analysis because you don't know the game. So you end up trying to like debate with somebody, and like, that's whatever, to each his own. But like, I don't want to sit there and debate with you on TV because quite frankly, there's someone that's never watched your show. Yeah. And they may be flicking through the channels and see me on your show, and because they've never watched the show and they flick through the channel and they see me on your show, they may mistakenly take me for the fool as opposed to knowing right away that you're the fool. Yeah. And I'd hate for them to mistakenly take me for the fool that you are or get me confused with the idiot that you are. Like, I don't have much of an interest for that. I wouldn't want that on my name and to like, like, no, it's very evident. Yeah. What you are and who you are, like, we know that. It's concrete. Like, we know exactly who you are. Clown. And I just don't think I'd be doing myself any service or any good by coming on your show. I'm also not sure that I would even want you as a guest on the Draymond Green Show. Yeah. Because if you go back and you look at the resumes of guys on the show, you don't qualify. Like, you don't qualify for this show. Your resume not there. So I probably won't come on your show unless you want to sit there and analyze the game of basketball. Then I'll come on, maybe. But I'm not sure, and the only other outlet I would really be able to talk to you on is right here on the Draymond Green Show. And again, your resume doesn't quite crack. It doesn't quite crack the code. Maybe we'll change that standard one day and have a guy like yourself on. But as of right now, especially coming off this fourth championship. You not welcome, my friend. You are not welcome here. And by the way, you come out talking about the new media. You not the new media, you the real media. You are the real media, you're right. You've attached your name to a Black man for all of these years. And that Black man is none other than King James, LeBron James himself. And you tried to tear him down as much as you can all these years. So you right, you are the real media. You are exactly who I speak of when I say this is the new media. We do this differently. You right. I'm happy you admitted it, real media. But the new media is here to stay and we taking this thing over. You know why? Because people don't want to hear that old, dried up, tired stuff that you talking about. Nobody want to hear that no more. The new media, baby. It's a reason JJ Redick going on TV and crushing everybody. It's a reason they keep calling Patrick Beverley back to TV. It's a reason why CJ McCollum just signed that deal. It's a reason why I signed the deal that I signed. It's a reason why this podcast, The Draymond Green Show, is doing the numbers that it's doing. It's a reason why. The new media, don't nobody want to hear all that tired stuff you talking about anymore, Mr. Real. Stop attaching your name to LeBron James. Stop, because you know LeBron James and his incredible life that he's lived and continues to live, that there will always be something for you to talk about. If I just attach my name to LeBron James. We don't want to hear it, brother. It's over. It's the new media. We're here to stay. So you keep talking that real media stuff. I'm happy you did. You showed your hand. You are exactly who I thought you were. Exactly who I thought you were. Kendrick Perkins, you act like this clown and it's baffling to me. He could never be you. You know why he could never be you? Because he never done it. You go up here acting like him. You don't have to do that, buddy. You played, you did it. Go talk about it, or can you not? I'd hope that you can. With all these hot takes you make, you should be able to. You don't have to act like that, my man. You don't have to go up there. You go from being enforcer to coon. How does that happen? I don't know. At least you act like an enforcer. I didn't really ever take you for one. Which is why when we were playing the Cavs in the NBA Finals and I was shaking them pompoms and people was like, "Oh man." I remember my Twitter blowing up like, "You leave LeBron alone. You shouldn't be shaking pompoms at LeBron." Bron my big brother. I would never shake pompoms at him. Also, who's he cheering for? I was shaking pompoms at the guy in the suit in the back. Yeah. Over here on the bench, shaking my pom-poms at him. That guy, you don't have to act like that, man. You can go on TV and be real and like stand on business. You don't gotta go up there doing that stuff you doing. This man just went on JJ's podcast the other day and said, I was praying that LeBron James got hurt. What? Are you kidding me? You actually thought that was okay to admit? Come on, cuz, you can't think that's okay to admit. Even if you felt that way, which by the way, why do you feel that way? That's a problem. But even if you felt that way, hey, take that one to the grave, my man. And JJ, being the scholar that he is, the great individual that JJ is, and most importantly, the new media. Why is that significant right now? Because the new media, we also protect guys. Like, we protect— this, this isn't about tearing you down. This isn't real Skip Bayless trying to tear you down. We don't do that. Now, we, we do critique. Something's off, we gonna talk about it, but we not gonna just try to tear you. No, no, no, we're gonna try to help that. And so JJ, being the new media member that he is, then tries to give you an opportunity to walk it back. Like, you mean like you sprained ankle? Nah, ACL. Are you kidding me, bruh? There was once upon a time, or excuse me, there was once a point in time where ACLs was ending people careers, man. You remember this, how we feed our families. We always talk like, I don't know if you do because it's not much substance, but I always talk about like when you get hurt, you leave the court, like you live that. Like you don't leave the court and then it's like, all right, I'm not hurt no more, I can walk now. But when the game's going on and when practice is going on, I'm back on crutches, like, like it's a video game. No, you really live this stuff. So for you to prey on another man downfall, that's a character flaw, my man. Yeah. If you pray on somebody downfall once, you gonna pray on it again. Not necessarily that you pray on LeBron's downfall because y'all are in like living two totally different worlds. Um. But that just means you're the type of person that'll pray on someone's downfall. That's a little whack to me. That's not new media-ish. I don't understand. You don't have to go on TV and act like that, brother. You played, act like it. Stop doing this. Stop making a fool of yourself. You played, act like it. Nicholas Wright, how you doing? Lot of hot takes. You admitted the other day, we make hot takes, analyze the game, my man. Now, total opposite of Skip Bayless. Skip Bayless has kind of rolled LeBron James and tried to tear him down for all these years, and that's how he fills his segments on his show. Nick Wright has been— Draymond Green. Total opposite. LeBron could go 1 for 19, Nick Wright gonna say he made 1 shot and he was the best player on the floor. What happened to the days of, again, analyzing the game, honest opinions, You got like clowns like Bill Simmons, who's like a Boston diehard fan through and through, that's not really giving you the real because he's not impartial. Like what happened to the days of doing a great job in media and your stories and your takes and just giving analysis, not being a homer? Not Kendrick Perkins going on First Take and then going on the Boston Celtics home TV show like, yeah, we're going for the Celtics. Dude, you were just doing national TV about these games. By the way, the issue that I have with, with this topic in particular is y'all are misguiding people. Like, people actually see y'all on TV And they actually think y'all know what y'all talking about. So then when they actually think that you guys know what you're talking about, they may be betting on games and they're watching you and like, listen, like, to Kendrick Perkins say dumb things about the Celtics and the Warriors. They may believe you. And you're not giving them the real. Because your heart's in it and because you're not doing a great job at what you should be doing, which is analyzing the game of basketball. If you're gonna talk about the game, analyze the game. Say why this is wrong. Say why that happened. You can't just say, "Oh, Draymond Green played terrible and he looked like the old him," or "Al Horford is who he used to be." Like, how the why? Explain to us what you mean. You have to explain it, analyze it, help us. Not just— don't just be these hot take guys, man. Explain what you're talking about. Be thorough. It's important. People are listening to y'all and think y'all actually know what you're talking about. It's important. You know why? Another reason it's important to make sure these guys act the way they should be acting, to carry themselves the way they should be carried. I was once suspended from Game 7 of the NBA Finals. I'm sorry, Game 5 of the NBA Finals. What's the significance of that? Why does that matter in this conversation? Because again, these guys' opinions matter. I'm certain that some media members had conversations with people about, in the league office, about whether I should be suspended or not for that game. Your opinion matters. Hard to trust those opinions, hard to be honest in those situations. If you can't even analyze a series and say, X, Y, and Z. Now granted, when I'm done playing, I'm sure I'm gonna wanna see the Golden State Warriors win. I spent 10 years of my life here. Hopefully we'll spend the next 5, 6, or whatever here. So I'm sure I'll feel a certain way about the Golden State Warriors. Okay. Oh. If I go on any other team, any show, if I'm on Inside the NBA, I'm going to break the game down and break the series down and tell you why this matters or why that matters and how this helps and how, how it doesn't. You still have to do that. You can't just be like, oh, I want the Celtics to win. Like, no, no, no. They're paying you to analyze and, you know, like you're doing the countdown shows. You got to tell people what's going on, man. They trust you, so they think. They trust you. You have to be able to thoroughly help break this game down, and we don't see a bunch of that, and it's baffling to me. It's baffling. You know, come out, hot take this, hot take that. Back to your boy Nicholas. Nicholas. You spoke all of that stuff about Andrew Wiggins! You spoke all of that stuff about how the Warriors were done like would never win again— Steph needs to leave Golden State blah blah blah... And then once you're wrong you didn't tryna go on TV or whatever show you was on say "That's what we do!" We make hot takes enough! No it ain't no shit man. It don't matter if I'm right but nobody cares because they hate me anyway so let them talk their mess yo! Let 'em speak up bro! They talking too much for nothing bruh! That dude just said he wanted him gone? Nah nah naahh! He did not want him going nowhere?! No, no, no, you wrong, brother. You got to stand on that. Those hot takes don't just get to roll off. See, that's what y'all accustomed to. I say these, make these asinine statements, and then once I'm done, it's just over. No, no, no, no, no. You got to stand on that. Changing your opinion in the middle of the— no, no, no, brother. Stand on that. Stand on your word. It's important to stand on that, not just flipping and flopping and all this and that. What do you stand for? I don't understand. I don't understand. It's baffling to me. We got to be better, and I only care, I only care, It's because I've transitioned into that industry. I'm now a part of that industry. Not part of the real media though, I'm the new media, but I'm a part of the industry. And I know how you guys are viewed. And I would love to change the view before I'm really seen as a part of that industry, because it's just a little unfortunate. Like you get media— Media people out here just making these crazy statements and like saying these things. I tweeted at Uncle Oak or Instagram story, one of them. And I said, I got an Uncle Oak story type story for this podcast. Let me give it to you. And speaking of media just talking, there was a clip going around during the finals By the way, these are all the things that'll be going on during the Finals, and the guy sitting there like, uh, Draymond, you're— the podcast is blah, blah, blah. These are all the things going on in the Finals that y'all really don't know going on behind the scenes. And I really haven't had time to talk about them because I'd be so locked in on task at hand. But there was a clip that surfaced And Cedric Maxwell says to Gary Payton Sr., "Draymond was acting like that in the '80s and '90s, he get punched in his face. He get punched right in the mouth." Whatever he said. So here's the thing, let me explain something to y'all. I play basketball. When I go on a basketball court, I'm not going out there to punch somebody in the mouth. I'm not going out there trying to pick a fight with anybody. I am going out on the basketball court to simply win a basketball game. Hopefully play well in doing it. In doing that, you are going to try to find any small edge that you can because the smallest edge wins you the NBA Finals. Okay. So if I go on the court and I talk junk, I talk to somebody. Listen, you heard it here first. I'm not going out there trying to fight anybody. I play basketball. Will I fight someone if I had— of course, like, grew up my whole life fighting. I don't fight anymore. It's pointless. So I— so it's— so here it is. I'm telling you here first. When I go on the court and I'm talking junk, I am not talking junk because I want to fight someone. That's true. It's not what I'm going out there and do, quite frankly, 'cause it's gonna cost me too much money if I do go out there and fight someone. So I'd rather save that money. All right, now that we got that. Sometimes in trying to gain an edge on the court, it does lead to you having beef off the court, you leaving the court pissed off, not really me in most cases, but some people leaving the court pissed off, and it carries on outside of that. To be quite frank with you, I don't really know of many guys fighting off the court even when it carries outside of that, but I'm sure it can, whatever. If I had to fight, great, we'll fight. But I said all of that to say, you gotta fight. Like I said, you'll fight, I'll fight, it is what it is. But nobody's really fighting, it's the NBA, okay? Yeah. It's a multi-billion dollar organization. Guys just aren't running around fighting. But, so Cedric Maxwell makes the statement, blah, blah, blah. He does his thing. So now after game 5, almost positive it was after game 5. Yeah, I think it was after game 5. I'm almost positive. After game 5, I go out and I do the Scott Van Pelt Show. And then I see to the left, my family's still sitting in the stands over where they sit. So I go over there, kiss my family, hug them. I'm like, all right, I have to now head back to do, I just finished Scott Van Pelt. I had now have to head back and do the media room. So in doing that, where their seats are in the tunnel, I'm about to walk outta the tunnel. Who's standing there? Gary Payton Sr. And Cedric Maxwell, along with a few other people. But those are the two that I see and I noticed. So if GP's standing with his back to the stand, Cedric Maxwell is like standing over here. So I like come into between them and I put my back to Cedric Maxwell and I tell GP, nobody should ever be able to come to you and like think they can talk about me and they got a friend in you. Like GP, that's my OG, man. Even before young GP got here, I used to play dominoes with GP. Like Oakland, real Oakland legend. Like nothing but respect and love forever for GP, OG. I said, he shouldn't be able to come to you like he got a friend in you and talk about me. Because ain't nobody gonna come to me and talk about GP like they got a friend. No, no, you're gonna do one of two things. Either you're gonna go tell GP that you told me you gonna punch him in his mouth, Or I'm telling you right now, I'mma go tell him that you said you gonna punch him in his mouth. Because if you're walking around saying you gonna punch this guy in his mouth, I think he should know. So I told GP that. And GP like, "Man, I ain't getting into all that." He's standing right there. I said, "I know he's standing right here. That's why I came and said it to you right now. 'Cause I saw you earlier, but I ain't say it to you earlier because I want him to know." When you gonna talk about punching somebody in the mouth, you gotta stand on that. You can't just be walking around talking like, "Oh, he get punched." Well, you do the punching. You gotta stand on that. And so I asked GP like, "Nah." And so then Cedric Maxwell like, "Oh man, I'm gonna get outta here." Of course you are. Because you walking around talking about you gonna punch someone in the mouth or somebody will get punched in the mouth, or whatever, but I'm playing basketball and I'm trying to gain an edge in a basketball game. Punching in the mouth has absolutely nothing to do with basketball. So let's just keep this basketball. And so then he walks out, he walks off, and I finished talking to GP. So then I walk out the same tunnel because I'm going to do my media, and he's standing there like, Draymond, let me talk to you. And I'm like, it ain't really nothing to talk about. Like you said I would get punched in the mouth. So I want to know, are you going to punch me in the mouth? No, I ain't going to punch you in the mouth. I appreciate your game. Of course you do. So then stop talking about that. Like there's absolutely no reason for you to be talking about me getting punched in the mouth unless you're going to punch me in the mouth. And so it's just this whole thing of like, You know, you saw Russ the other day, check, skip playlist. Like, Russell Westbrook. That man's name is Westbrook. Like, that man has children. That man has a family. That's a family name. You talking about Russell Westbrook. Again, people just run off talking and think they don't have to stand on that. You gotta stand on them words, man. Your words mean something. You gotta be willing to stand on that. And so that's like my whole thing with this new, the new media. Stand on that, real media. But calling this man Westbrook, like what? Who are you? So hopefully these guys will see this They'll, of course they'll look at it, they'll go respond and say, "I'm not doing that, Bob." But if you know what's good for you, you gotta make the adjustment, man. 'Cause people tired of that old-ass tired stuff y'all giving. They sick of it. Yours truly, the new media. Lastly, before I get outta here, Let's talk about free agency. I also, oh, before I get to this, this will actually lead right into where I'm going. Brian Winhorst said after game 5, that was a pocketbook win. The Warriors bought that win. I got no problems with Brian Windhorst. I got no problems with Brian Windhorst at all, actually. I have a problem with that statement. The reason I have a problem with that statement is because it's very contradictory. How is it contradictory? Well, quite frankly, you guys said paying Klay Thompson the money that he made coming off of his injury was a bad idea by Joe Lacob. They should have paid him less money. Blah, blah, blah. Ah! You guys also said Steph Curry and the extension he signed, it was over. And that was it. And blah, blah, blah. You guys also said when Andrew Wiggins came to this team that we'd never win again. That we took on that bad contract and he's a zero and a bust and blah, blah, blah. You guys also said that I was washed up. Those are our 4 highest-paid players. You had an issue with every single contract. The moment it's beneficial, it's no longer a problem. Now it's a— A talent. Now we bought the win? How is that possible after y'all had an issue with every single one of the contracts I just mentioned? Our top 4 contracts, you guys had an issue with. How is there any such thing as a pocketbook win? For a team that y'all said was pathetic, that would never win. That's baffling to me. Now, Gotta give Joe Lacob some credit. We do have the highest payroll in the NBA. In large part due to, we drafted well. Our team, our front office, our ownership, the ownership group of the Golden, they've done an incredible job. And number one, building the business of the Golden State Warriors, as we know it was not great in 2011 when they bought this team. So they built the business, an incredible one. They've drafted well. Shout out to Bob Myers, the guy who did not receive a single vote for GM of the Year or Executive of the Year. Did not see— he did not receive a single vote. A single vote for a team that y'all said would never win again. Yeah. Would never do anything. The guy who put this roster together did not receive a single vote for Executive of the Year. And for the smart aleck that's out there, he may have received one. I don't think he received a single vote. That's no slight to whoever won Executive of the Year, but the guy who won a championship that put this roster together that y'all said was total horseshit, Draymond Green didn't receive one. Okay. So we know, we already know that there's a problem with the voting system. First team, MVP, DPOY, you name it. We already know there's a problem there. So that just falls right into the category with that. It's pathetic. But the fact that we can have a pocketbook win on a roster that y'all said would never compete, that is baffling to me. Mm, like I said, we do have the highest payroll. Gotta give Joe Lacob credit there. Guy is not afraid to spend, which by the way, we got some important stuff coming up, which we'll talk about in a second and the importance of it. But you can't say that. You just can't. Something that's baffling to me is that the Warriors Steph Curry, he's been here 13 years, drafted. Klay Thompson, 11, drafted. Myself, 10, drafted. Wiggins, traded for, not signed. We traded for Andrew Wiggins. James Wiseman, drafted. I think the next highest paid player after that, if I'm not mistaken, is Jonathan Kuminga, drafted. Kevon Looney, drafted. The fact that we're paying the same tax penalties that teams are that can go buy a team is crazy. Like the fact that there are no, like, okay, so you can go further into the tax. If you have bird rights. But the fact that we've drafted all of these guys, and yes, the contracts get up there when you have success, but why is the tax rate the same exact tax rate as far as penalties go for someone if they just went and bought, when we say bought a team, if they went and signed every free agent that they didn't draft? Why is the taxes the same? I don't understand that. Like, so to get penalized for drafting well, that doesn't really make sense to me. Because then what's the incentive of drafting well and keeping your guys if that's going to be the case? Prime example being, we're in free agency. You got Kevon Looney, who's a free agent, who's going to do extremely well, who's put himself in a great position. Um, you get further penalized for giving him more money, but you drafted him with the 30th pick. Loon is by far, next to Moses Moody, by the way, the most professional guys I've ever seen. Incredible. Don't miss a beat. Not late. No issues. They'll never piss Steve Kerr off. Like, guys are great. You signed, you drafted Looney with the 30th pick and now you're gonna get penalized for, that does not make sense to me. Doesn't make sense. We signed GP when no one else wanted GP, obviously not drafted, but, and so, If there's a penalty there, I understand. You got Otto Porter, who's also a free agent, Nemanja Bielica, Andre Iguodala. If there's other penalties, I get it. But for these guys, myself being one of them, that's like drafted here, the fact that you face the same penalties is baffling to me. It's baffling. It doesn't make sense because again, what's the point of drafting well if you're going to get penalized ultimately for drafting well? Yeah. You can't help but look at OKC, who has all these draft picks, and then wonder. They'll probably be able to, like, they may be able to, in the long run, keep 2 or 3 of these guys. Because the money's gonna cost so much if these guys turn out to be good. But they're drafting these guys. And so that right there is a little baffling to me. Like I said, I give Joe Lacob a lot of credit for all that he's been willing to spend. And to keep this team going. Because like I told y'all before, we ain't done. We not done. We gonna keep this train rolling. But the fact that there's no relief there is just baffling to me. So I think that's something that need to be looked at in this next CBA because, you know, and I know people will make the argument and say, Well, yeah, but you gotta help the small market teams out. Guess what? I don't really care to, like, you help them where you may, but like my pay doesn't get raised. I live in expensive-ass San Francisco. And so the max salary, if I make the max salary in Oklahoma City, that money stretches way further than my money, my max, money would stretch in San Francisco, but they don't say, oh, we gonna prorate your salary because the rent is more expensive or to buy is more expensive per square foot. They don't do that. But when it comes to small market teams, we get punished for saying, nah, if you gonna do that, then you gotta make it that way across the board. Not just for a small market team or for this or that, then you have to take into account all of those disadvantages and advantages across the board, including for the players. And with that, I'm outta here. That's a wrap from this episode of Draymond Green Show. Your next episode after this will be JJ and I. Hope all of you enjoy it. Until next time, by the way, guest is on the way back. Yeah. JJ is not a guest. He's been a guest. JJ and I are collabing and doing Old Man and the Three and the Draymond Green Show collab. So JJ's not a guest, but guests are on the way back and we gonna have some big ones. Stay locked in. Much love. That's a wrap from the Draymond Green Show. Peace.
