Dream Green knocked Poole to the ground with a straight punch. The nature of this event changed significantly due to the outflow of the original video. The question now is: To what extent will this event affect the chances for Warriors to succeed in defending their titles?
Green was not the first criminal to have a conflict with his teammates. He shouted at Durant on the court in 2019. Then the warrior dynasty was hit hard and Durant ran away. Although there was a video this time, there was no voice. I don’t know what the content of their quarrel was. General manager Miles said that the conflict had nothing to do with the renewal of the contract they were talking about, but the listeners would be suspicious.
In my opinion, even if the content of their quarrel has nothing to do with the renewal of the contract, it at least shows the fact that Green chasing dreams is very irritable, and this emotion is definitely related to the renewal of the contract.
The Warriors were under the pressure of tax and did not finish the renewal with green and Poole, which brought great pressure to both of them. Poole still has room for maneuver. He can go out for a round like Elton next summer, which in turn puts pressure on the Warriors. But Green can’t. Although he has four championship rings in hand, his status is declining now, the Age has also come up. After leaving the Warrior system, the use value is not high. Therefore, Green’s pressure is much greater than that of Poole, which can be felt from this punch.
There have been many NBA fights, and it is not uncommon for teammates to have conflicts in the dressing room. However, the nature of chasing dreams against Poole is quite different, it may cause great harm to the team’s way of defending the throne in the new season that has not yet begun.
Many of the fights between teammates were caused by playing cards or being grumpy, and they jumped up when they didn’t agree. There are several famous ones:
2009 Arenas VS ritanton
The two had a dispute because of playing cards. Arenas owed too much money and refused to return it. The two pulled out their guns in the locker room of the Washington Wizards and pointed at each other. The NBA suspended the two until the end of the season. The 28-year-old All-Star Arenas suffered a sharp turn in his career. Klitington left the NBA and was later sentenced to 23 years for murder.
1995 Jordan VS Cole
Although Jordan has the supreme status, he is extremely domineering in the team and despises any behavior that does not work hard, even if it is training. Once the two men fought against each other in groups and became opponents. Jordan let himself defend fiercely in this group. The dirty words were endless. Cole really couldn’t stand it. Once he was fouled by Jordan fiercely, he punched Jordan in the chest, jordan punched back and hit Cole in the eye. Jackson drove Jordan out. This matter was restored in Jordan’s biographical film “The Last Dance.
2010 dronty-West VS von Weaver
The incident started from a three-to-three training in the team. In the match, as long as Weaver took the ball, West fouled him, so angry that Weaver left the stadium halfway and returned to the dressing room. But West followed closely and broke into the dressing room and punched Weaver. The two fought together and rolled together on the ground. West held a non-guarantee contract, but the Green Army was tired of his temper and bad relationship with his teammates.
2011 Mayo VS Tony Allen
Once the Grizzlies went out to play away, Mayo and Allen played cards. At that time, Mayo lost the money, and Allen asked him to pay the bill. Unexpectedly, Mayo spoke to each other until he did something to Allen.
Except Jordan and Cole won three championships later, the rest of the fights in the team had no good results, and their career would turn around at most. Green is at a critical moment when he talks about renewing his contract this time. Although general manager Miles said clearly that he would not suspend the match for him, it will definitely affect Green’s bargaining chip in the negotiation. If Green generates further dissatisfaction, then the great cause of the warrior’s dynasty will be in danger.
First, direct impact. Because the incident happened in the training hall of the Warriors, NBA would not come forward to punish green, but Green violated the team rules and faced a fine of up to 50000 US dollars according to regulations.
The image of the Warriors is also affected, because the impact of the video is too strong, far more than the initial understatement in the media. In the new season, Warriors released most of the older role players, and wanted to reuse Wiseman, Moody’s and cuminga. Green destroyed his image and status in front of young players. In the past, the Warriors were famous for their family atmosphere, but now they generally doubt that the relationship between green and Poole can be repaired as before.
In fact, the most important influence lies in the warrior’s judgment of Green’s value.
Green is the hero of the warriors who won four championships at the end of the class, but his performance decline in the playoffs and finals is visible to the naked eye. Green may not expect to renew the contract at the top salary, but he must hope to get an average of 30 million + contracts at the age of 32. He realized that his state was not competitive compared with Poole. At the beginning of the training camp, he deliberately said publicly that warriors would definitely not renew their contract with him immediately.
The dilemma of Warriors is that although Green is in his age, it is an indispensable part of this system, and Poole is only a scorer after all. In a dilemma, the Warriors now use the strategy of delaying their troops to let them enter the new season with pressure. Even if they don’t renew their contract with Poole before October 17, they are not afraid that he will go out next summer, the big deal is the same as the sun continues to Elton.
However, if two key members are allowed to play the new season with pressure and emotion, aren’t they afraid of the situation that Elton was in the Suns last season? So far, the way the sun is out of the playoffs is still puzzling, and the mood of Ayton is definitely the main reason.
As long as the contract is not renewed, Dream Green is a time bomb, and the risk factor is far more than Durant’s last year here. At that time, he quarreled with Durant. He doubted Durant’s loyalty to Warriors. This time, it was because of his contract.
After Green hit someone, he returned to the team and apologized to the whole team, but left without taking part in the training. Then Cole had a day off and trained again on Sunday Beijing time. According to the schedule, Green had a meeting with reporters once. If he met the media Yogueta, he would definitely encounter the bombing of reporters. However, we will also get more information to see how he explained.
This event of green punching Poole also reflects a bug in NBA’s salary system from another aspect.
The soft salary cap and tax are mainly to balance the strength between teams and avoid the stars getting together. However, this system is designed for the flow of players. It does not allow a certain team to throw a lot of money and go to other teams to dig people. However, it does not take into account the original lineup of warriors, they didn’t want to change jobs to other teams, but wanted to stay, but because of the high tax, they caused cruel competition in the team.
Apart from Wikins, the main members of the Warriors are almost won by the draft of this team. Theoretically, the NBA salary system tends to encourage them to stay, rather than want to change jobs as soon as they become famous. However, the success rate of Warriors is so high that everyone wants to get a big contract here, while NBA does not have a special clause for this situation, and the tax is treated equally. If the wishes of these players are met, Warriors will soon become the first team to invest more than 0.5 billion dollars in a single year.
Under such circumstances, how can Green have no resentment? While he was angry all his life, the Warriors were in danger, and the new season was full of unknown variables.
