It’s all fun and games until you get hit with that natural kicking in the nuts motion

This stuff doesn’t really come across as jokes. Seems like he legit doesn’t understand Draymond’s intentions and finds him kind of unhinged lol

Draymond really need to stfu coz Yaxel is legit and we don’t want another Poole incident to happen again

Lendeborg has routinely become winded and knows he needs to get in better shape before the regular season starts in October. He got a “Whoop” device, wearable technology to track his heart rate, calorie intake and sleep as he tries to prepare for his rookie season.

“I feel like I could have been a lot better, a lot more aggressive,” Lendeborg said. “But it’s a new system and new team, I don’t want to be overbearing and overplay my part.”

“We have a lot of injuries at my position, so I feel like that really gives me the perfect opportunity to play right away, or just show the guys I’m going to help right away.

“I haven’t really spoken much to the Warriors about that — I don’t want to be demanding minutes and stuff. So hopefully they see I’m deserving of the chance, and I can make the most of it.”

Why the fuck is draymond so mad yaxel made a fun not really serious pitch to LeBron? He’s genuinely mad another man is trying to talk to his bestie

what was the point for Draymond to call it pointless?

I thought it was obvious it was light hearted and in good fun

He’s unhinged. time to cut the cancer loose. Let’s move on.

And, yes, Green had an infamous run-in with another former Michigan player on the Warriors — punching Jordan Poole during a practice in October 2022. Lendeborg often receives social-media messages about the incident, he said, even though he “doesn’t know what happened.”

“I’ve just seen the video, and I’m like, ‘Damn, what could have inspired that to happen? ’” he said. “It is kind of interesting, but I’m not the kind of guy who’s going to be mad at my teammates. I don’t think I’ll ever put Draymond in a position to even want to do that.”

Draymond’s comments on Yaxel started with praising his Summer League performance and saying he’ll definitely have a role on the team. That said, if I’m Yaxel, I’m a little concerned by how much Draymond hates my college. 

Draymond needs to be careful since he’s not signed to a contract right now.

Draymond is a bit of a twat.

These kind of comments by your supposed (even though Draymond is unsigned), are such easy ways to make someone not play for you. Your first lottery pick since 2021, and already you have Draymond making them uncomfortable, not welcoming them into the organization.

Better rein Draymond in, hazing is stupid lol. I don’t give a fuck who is involved or what job I have, if my coworkers ever try to do weird shit or fill my car with packing peanuts or whatever, we’re gonna have a problem. None of that.

Lendeborg is a 23 year old grown-ass man who’ll be 24 by the time training camp starts. He should just tell Green to go fuck himself..

Yaxel precipitating Draymond’s downfall would be poetic and just

Draymond should call Shaq for some hazing tips

i legit cannot believe that people are reading into this as a cry for help holy shit wtf is reddit

Bro is worried about getting a right hook to the face, understandable

Draymond puts himself in a position to want to do that lol.

He’s going to get punched

So many athletes who rightly expect to be treated as professionals just can’t act like it across the board. Hazing (nor assault, while we’re at it) shouldn’t be a thing in one’s workplace. Teams as employers should set this standard and the union should ensure it’s met. Incoming players shouldn’t play in summer league—they should have to be interns in an office with an HR department.

Green is an ass, someone needs to rein him it

its just a weird ass thing for draymond to say, yea hes right its probably pointless but its also harmless. y shit on the rookie on ur team so publicly?

Nothing to worry about, just the typical hazing punch in the face by Dray

Yaxel has Green by height and weight and age.

So don’t be scared, deal with his stuff directly.

Draymond needs to be out of the league.

Dray is such an old geezer.

“Soo Bam didn’t get punished for punching Herro in the offseason! Ready yourself, rookie!’

If Draymond can’t deliver LeBron to the Warriors, him opting out presents the team with a great opportunity to move on with a clean slate and start to clean up the books. If Lebron comes then Dray is clearly part of that arrangement and stays, but otherwise – prob a good time to move on.

They’ll be a lottery team with or without him in that scenario and would prob be better off without a vet antagonizing well-meaning and well-behaving rookies for no reason.

Dray is joking clearly. Yaxel and Dray gonna get along really well.

Can we as a society end rookie hazing. It’s proven time and time that everyone fucking hates it and it doesn’t work 

You’re getting punched.

This reads like an Onion headline

He could be hinting at a lot of different things.

Hinting or hitting?

Not sure Draymond realizes that the Warriors would drop him off at a waffle house same night if he started shit with Yaxel.

These 2 personalities might not mesh well. Dray should be worried though. Yaxel could do to him what Dray did to David Lee.

It’s the Michigan vs Michigan State rivalry. The animosity is real… esp from Draymond’s end.

Just don’t say whatever Poole said and you’ll be fine

He getting hazed 100%

Draymond gonna choke slam him

If there is the slightest chance Dray fucks with Yaxel in a way the shits on the chemistry I’m all for trading him. Oh. I guess we could just let him walk if he’s going to talk shit like that since he’s no longer under contract with the team.

Man he just can’t help but be a little toxic can he.

Can I interest you in the story of Jordan Poole?

These guys both graduated the same year

Yaxel better wear a cup in practice.

Is there a prop bet for how long it’ll take till we see the next punching video?

About to get punched in the face bruh!

Draymond could’ve so easily pitched something at LeBron on his podcast. He strikes me as a rules for thee but not for me kinda guy. It’s always a little different when it’s him versus someone else doing something.

Draymond going to go 12 rounds with Yaxel, if he survives he gets to play significant minutes off the bench for the team, if he loses he must go play for the Wizards.

Meanwhile, Steph is enabling all this shit cuz he know if he tries to check Draymond, his ass getting knocked out too

Don’t break the “code” Yaxel…

Yaxel doesn’t want to hear that sweet chin music

This dude is about to get punched

That’s cuz Draymond is an awful person. Normal, good people don’t punch their teammates. Anyone that says otherwise is a part of our violence problem. Draymond is a piece of garbage. I don’t doubt for a second he hazes rookies, that’s what garbage humans do. Supposed to be a team. Anyone that hazes is scum. Draymond seems like scum

If only there was someone in the Warriors organization who could hold Dray accountable. Oh well, too bad something like that can’t exist. Hope Yaxel punches Dray for the ultimate uno reverse

Kid needs to learn some respect

Whatever Draymond says goes
