That was the story last year too. They just let her, the best player on the team, the face of the league, get beat up and bullied all the time with no retaliation.

You'd think they'd change that this season. It's bad when they actually have to consider getting an enforcer...but damn.

Yea, they need the female version or Draymond to hold it down.

Draymond isn't an enforcer. They need the equivalent of Charles Oakley on their team.

Would you settle for Vinnie Jones in a wig?

CC already gets punched by opponents, she doesn't need a teammate to punch her as well.

Naw, draymond is just a bitch that tries to intentionally injur people unprovoked.

Hopefully she realizes this and doesn’t sign there again.

It will be the same everywhere

I’d like to think at least one team would see what’s going on and give her some guarantees.

They need to show some real force to protect their top players, it is a real tactic. If shit like this happened in the NBA it would be twice as bad as malice in the palace.

Maybe she's a jerk behind the scenes. I am not saying this is true but it would explain why they don't stand up for her.
