Yesterday, the Golden State Warriors singed former Detroit Piston, Rodney McGruder to fill their final spot on the roster. This caused instant flashbacks for everyone, as after a Warriors-Pistons game in 2021, Klay Thompson and Draymond Green had a lot to say to McGruder after McGruder confronted their bench and exchanged words with Juan Toscano-Anderson.
Back then, both Klay and Draymond took some time to roast the shooting guard in two different interviews. Klay couldn’t help but to humiliate McGruder and his career, while Draymond mostly questioned McGruder’s toughness.
Klay said in 2021 Rodney McGruder “might be out the league soon.”
Warriors just signed McGruder today

“Get the hell out of here. F*cking tough guy. Rodney, RODNEY.”
Draymond Green sounded OFF on Rodney McGruder back in 2021
Now McGruder has signed a training camp deal with the Warriors and has the potential to be teammates with Draymond

As you can imagine, NBA Twitter had a day upon hearing that the Warriors have made teammates out of the three. This is pretty hilarious.

After trading away a young star who green punched in the face, the warriors are determined to enter the 23-24 season with a team full of people Draymond has clearly wanted to punch in the face.

The front office rejected bringing in Dwight Howard to address the lack of wing depth on the team just to sign Rodney fucking McGruder. They so unserious pic.twitter.com/mghbtOkqyC
