More on this storyline

On a recent episode of his self-titled podcast for The Volume, the Golden State Warriors veteran Green revealed his unusual goal for the 2024-25 season. Green said that he wants to have less than 10 technical fouls. "I'm gonna have less than 10 technical fouls this year," said Green. "I might even make a decision to keep it less than eight." -via Larry Brown Sports / November 2, 2024 Draymond Green: "Before the first Pelicans game, it was announced that Kuminga was benched, and it was a complete overreaction. The lineup change was because Steph wasn't out there, so we needed more shooting, more spacing. So instead of JK, we added Moses and Buddy to spread the floor. If not, they were just going to zone us, clog the paint, and make it hard for everyone. That's not a knock on JK, if anything, it's probably a knock on me and Trace. But the media tried to blow it up, like they always do. JK approached it with the right mindset, came out hard, and the lineup change actually sparked him. He had his best two games of the season so far because of it." -via YouTube / November 1, 2024 Draymond Green: "I'm locked in on it, bro. That's my goal, you know, just going through this offseason and then seeing my name not on an all-defensive team last year. That pissed me off. I know I wasn't eligible because of the games I missed, but it still pissed me off. I want to keep building on what I hope ultimately becomes a Hall of Fame career. The more accolades, the better. I've heard all the talk about Chet and Wemby on defense. I'm not taking anything away from those guys, they're special, but I know I can affect a defense differently. I'm not seven feet, so I have to use positioning and my brain to be great. This year, that's one of my goals: to get back in the Defensive Player of the Year race, get back on All-Defense First Team, and just keep running that up." -via YouTube / November 1, 2024 Celtics forward Jaylen Brown couldn't believe what he saw from Williams, who played alongside him and Tatum in Boston from 2019 to 2023. "Like, what are we talking about? Y'all see the same play that I was seeing?" Brown told reporters in Charlotte. "He hit him like it was a football play. Like Ray Lewis coming across the middle or something. It is what it is. Grant knows better than that." -via BasketNews / November 2, 2024 "I think at the time of the game, that's probably what stressed the Flagrant Two," Williams told CLNS Media's Bobby Manning. "It was a transition opportunity, and I was trying to make a play on the ball. I did reach across his body, and probably when you slow down the replay, it looks like I kind of make a play and just kind of go after it. "JT is one of my closest friends in the league. There was no intentional trying to harm him in any way. It was just one of those plays where fast, full speed, he passes the ball, which probably makes it worse. When I reached for the ball after the fact, the ball was already out of his hand. I don't think it leads to anything if it's not escalated after the fact. You see me raise my hand, say I fouled him trying to take the foul in transition, got held up by teammates, and walked away." -via BasketNews / November 2, 2024
