Do gravity waves disprove gravitons?

I know that quantum theory is at odds with relativity over the exact nature of gravity.  Do gravity waves prove that gravity is inherently tied to space-time geometry as opposed to being mediated by force carriers, aka gravitons?

Gravity waves are to gravitons as electromagnetic waves are to photons. In fact, the reason why many theorists consider gravitons to be exceedingly likely is that once you have gravity waves, it's hard to imagine quantum gravity without gravitons (at least close to the flat space/weak gravity limit).

EDIT: Actually, these are gravitational waves: gravity waves are something else, see below.
