So Draymond is the peacemaker, "protecting Klay" by putting Rudy Gobert in a head lock where three guys couldn't pull him off, after Rudy Gobert put Klay in a "headlock" and we're just going to laugh about it because it's Draymond. This is pretty embarrassing from the Warriors.

The three first rounders the Kings got from the Spurs are. not great. The 2025 Charlotte pick is Top 14 protected. Hornets are 4th worst in the NBA this season. The 2027 Spurs pick won't be great unless the Wemby/Fox team completely fails. The 2031 T-Wolves pick is far away.

Maybe because, after years of ineptitude, the Kings fired Fox's favorite coach without consulting him. They've drafted guard after guard. And they wasted their opportunity to improve the roster and build upon 2022-2023. And Fox was made out as the bad guy after the firing, and.
