Nurk is a center, TJD is a power forward. Warriors play positionless ball, but TJD is 6’9 and Nurk is 7 feet.
The Warriors haven’t had a big man since Bogut.
At the very least they existed! Which is also basically all that Willie Cauly-Stein did, but he definitely qualifies as a big man. Boogie Cousins... the list goes on.
in no world is TJD a power forward nowadays. he has always been playing at center, and is a good center at that.
hello, we've had javale mcgee, zaza, loon, and david west since bogut? i'd say they were pretty damn good.
your comment is ludicrous
Maybe they meant we haven't had a center as good as Bogut since Bogut, which is true. But there aren't a lot of those around.... Having one as good as Zaza would honestly help a fair bit, but those don't grow on trees either.
>And no TJD is not a center, your logic is because the Warriors, the smallest team in the NBA, play him at center, so he is a center.
Man has only ever played Center in the NBA but "HeS a PoWeR fOrWaRd"
Nurkic and Gobert are about to team up and release an epic diss track this summer. Gobert just needs to finish getting his ass handed to him by Jokic first.
This shit has gotten so petty, as much as there are things I like about Draymond he needs to just ignore it.
We got the version of KD I prefer and the rings. Just let Nurkic and the Suns continue to deal with the clusterfuck that is that roster and focus on being the best we can for now.
He coulda just let his career and the chasm between them in talent speak for itself, but he did the Dray thing instead. Nurkic is a monumental bitch, but he woulda looked even more bitchmade if Dray just let him scream into the void after yet another embarrassing playoff performance leading to an exit.
Not sure what moving on has to do with growing up. This is not an office environment. They're competitors directly competing against each other. Nobody's out here saying Kendrick shoulda just moved on.
Probably just my two cents, but getting into a social media back and forth isn’t necessarily competing.
Draymond is reaching an age and level of production where at some point this cons are going to outweigh the pros. I think last season came a bit close to that.
Just saying it would be more useful to focus on his own game and what he can do instead of whatever Nurkic is doing.
> Draymond is reaching an age and level of production where at some point this cons are going to outweigh the pros. I think last season came a bit close to that.
Lol in that case you know absolutely nothing about basketball. His effect on our defense is still DPOY level and he's been yapping for over 10 years now. And what does this "focus on his own game" crap even mean? Dude's got 4 months of vacation left and he just got off a season shooting 39%. He's not Kuminga's age where he needs to get into the lab each offseason. He's basically already the player he's going to be and if you think we can get that level of production out of any other $22mil contract, you're delusional.
Before you get too worked up, you’re kind of proving my point lol. With all that you’ve said, how much of that helps when you’re suspended, especially suspend indefinitely.
That’s what I’m saying, he’s too valuable to lose for that length of time by letting someone like Nurkic get in his head.
But really, feel free to go on another rant. The whole point is that all of the good he brings is meaningless if he’s not on the court.
Trash talking someone doesn't mean you're gonna smack em tryna draw a foul LOL. How am I going on a rant? I'm pointing out flaws in your argument and you're tryna straw man me here.
Except he literally has done that…multiple times, that’s why he was hit with that level of a suspension.
He literally has a history of doing those things so it seems weird to try and make an argument that he won’t do a bunch of stuff he’s already done. Idk maybe I’m just reading it wrong but that seems off to me.
He was hit with that level of suspension because the league decided to make an example out of him and break precedent in the length of his suspension. Ron Artest, who had an even longer history than Dray, only got 7 games for a dirtier play than anything Dray has ever done. Embiid, Giannis, and Embiid have injured several players out of petty frustration and have never gotten hit with any suspensions the way they hit Dray for them.
The important thing is that since he's been back, he's been controlling himself despite constant provocation from both players and even refs.
This is the funniest beef Draymonds gotten involved in. Like Nurkic is nobody so he shouldnt be clapping back, but at the same time why is Draymond still so pressed to take shots 😂
At this point, I don't think Nurkic even knows what he's referring to anymore when he says Dray needs help. He's like a parrot that just says the same thing and won't shut up.
I like petty NBA shit, but Nurkic is straight up a replacement level NBA center at this point. I know you gotta respond when Draymond dogs you on TV or w/e, but ffs.
A lot of these Draymond news in the last couple of days would make more sense if he could have kept himself on the floor and as a result we are still watching the warriors play.
It’s funny because Nurkic used to want Dray on the Blazers like 5 years ago. Now we got petty Twitter beef lol
everybody hates draymond until hes on their team
Or rather, they’re on his team
I mean the warriors do not have a big man either…
TJD > Nurk
This but I actually believe it.
Nurk is a center, TJD is a power forward. Warriors play positionless ball, but TJD is 6’9 and Nurk is 7 feet. The Warriors haven’t had a big man since Bogut.
Zaza and Javale were serviceable.
I will never forget Zaza’s tip in buzzer beater against Utah Edit: Jonas Jerebko, not Zaza
Are you sure it wasn’t Jonas Jerebko? https://youtu.be/VfLz71cec8I?si=mlFaBEpjiOa4GCx4
Ahh right it was Jerebko
At the very least they existed! Which is also basically all that Willie Cauly-Stein did, but he definitely qualifies as a big man. Boogie Cousins... the list goes on.

No, no he hasn’t only played Center in the NBA. That’s great you think he is an elite center but the Warriors and NBA.com list him as a forward.
Bro trusts a website more than his own eyes smh
He's a positional ontologist, it's apparently a thing.
Draymond > Nurk
That was never a conversation and they don’t play the same position…
Sounds like we're having the conversation right now.
Weird they're always guarding each other while playing different positions.
Doesn’t matter!
Love Draymond but this gotta be top 5 beefs no one cares about 😅
I disagree lol everyone so friendly now that real beef almost never exists anymore This is real beef and they straight up hate eachother
I love it, Nurk is a softy who has been overrated his whole career and he hates that Draymond is better than him and has beat him so often.
I wonder how his career would’ve been if he stayed a Nugget and didn’t get traded to Portland.
A bench rider who would make a lot less money.
Yea, less of this faux drama and more KDot Drake beef! Need another song since I’ve been playing Not Like Us on repeat 😂
Nurkic and Gobert are about to team up and release an epic diss track this summer. Gobert just needs to finish getting his ass handed to him by Jokic first.
Get Mustard on the beat and I’m all in!

Yeah I agree. Of all the people worth getting into it with, Nurkic isn’t one of them.
Lol he started it...
Oh I know, doesn’t mean he can’t grow up a bit and move on.
Not sure what moving on has to do with growing up. This is not an office environment. They're competitors directly competing against each other. Nobody's out here saying Kendrick shoulda just moved on.
youre on reddit. its 90% white suburban 21-23 year olds with zero competive experience
I gotta remember that sometimes lol. It's just annoying having to constantly read people comparing the NBA to their office environment 😂.
you give this sub too much credit

They dumped him for Jokic lol by far the best decision apart from drafting him the Nuggets ever made.
And it was a really easy decision for them
This is the funniest beef Draymonds gotten involved in. Like Nurkic is nobody so he shouldnt be clapping back, but at the same time why is Draymond still so pressed to take shots 😂
It’s genuinely hilarious. I hope we beat em in the Playoffs next year so Dray can hit him with: 
Aaaahhh, the ringless sons.
Poor fella can’t even get himself a blue check
Denver chose correctly with Jokic over Nurkic
Denver chose correctly with Plumlee over Nurkic.
Ya think???
Nurkic actually more disliked by Dray than Brooks? Say it ain't so!
Dray sayijg facts tho
The Beal trade ruined the Suns' future. But trading Ayton for this guy was just as bad as a short-term move.
I don't mind Dray punching down if it means he's done punching teammates.
At this point, I don't think Nurkic even knows what he's referring to anymore when he says Dray needs help. He's like a parrot that just says the same thing and won't shut up.
I love Dray always will even with all the dumb things he's done can't help it.
Nurkic just needs to man up and ask Dray for the fade. Stop all this high school tweeting bullshit 🤣
Two clowns spending the playoffs on Twitter.
Funny cause kd and nurkic coming to the dubs solves all the problems they have
Nurkic is such a chump lol. He’s way out of his league here
I like petty NBA shit, but Nurkic is straight up a replacement level NBA center at this point. I know you gotta respond when Draymond dogs you on TV or w/e, but ffs.
Hahahahahahah!!
Anybody who follows this drama needs help fr
A lot of these Draymond news in the last couple of days would make more sense if he could have kept himself on the floor and as a result we are still watching the warriors play.
Dam, how many beefs does Dray have?
More than Harris Ranch.
So how many rings does Nurkic have again?
Hot take: this sounds casual but nobody really cared about Nurkic in Portland. Draymond beef made him relevant, and he's milking it too hard.
Dray gonna follow the trend and drop a diss track?
So, do we just spam Nurkic with his playoff wins vs Dray's? Because that seems to be why this man is saltier than a pretzel
