In first year of Jordan Poole’s extension (2023-24), he’ll likely make more money than Draymond Green ever did in a single season. – 9:30 PM

Two sources have confirmed with me the altercation between Draymond Green & Jordan Poole.
I watched Jordan Poole get up shots today after practice. Seemed in good spirits, even was laughing. PBJ and Lester Quinones were the only other guys on the court at the time I shot this. pic.twitter.com/FtxYo5XgH6 – 9:24 PM

“Poole and Green are known to regularly get into verbal arguments, but the team’s management and leadership believes a line was crossed.”
That’s wild. – 9:02 PM

The Warriors stopped practice and tried to settle nerves in the team’s locker room area, but it appears that internal discipline is imminent.

NBA Central: “Me…Draymond and probably Giannis, three guys who can literally guard 1-through-5 and be effective.” – Bam Adebayo (Via https://t.co/wWGNmWoaNH) pic.twitter.com/vPpIgwX494 -via Twitter @TheNBACentral / October 1, 2022
Poole busted out in the middle of his second season and rolled that momentum over enough into a third season that had some league insiders posing a popular behind-the-scenes question: Herro or Poole — who would you rather have moving forward? If you answered Poole, that once would’ve placed you in the ambitious minority. After this past season — when Poole led the NBA in 3s the final two months and then averaged 17 points per game on 50/39/91 shooting splits in the playoffs — you’d probably be in the majority. “Better creator, stronger going to the rim, should hold up more defensively if he just tries because he plays a little bit bigger,” one league executive said this week. -via The Athletic / October 5, 2022
He can talk all day about Moody and Kuminga and Poole. He’s already taken a liking to DiVincenzo. “He’s really good. I have this funny thing with White players,” he said. “It’s like, ‘Yo, it ain’t too many of y’all that are really good.’ But he’s good. I’m like, ‘You’re one of the White guys that actually belong at a high level.’ It’s White guys that belong, but he’s really good.” -via The Athletic / October 4, 2022
