Warriors unlikely to trade Draymond Green this season?
Zach Lowe: “If anything, I think that may be underplaying the level of iciness and tension that they’re navigating right now. And that’s not to say ‘Are they going to trade Draymond?’ Everything I’ve heard is they are not trading Draymond. They’re just not going to happen. They’re trying to win the championship and will try to ride it out unless something drastic happens. Draymond is going to be on the team all season.”

The NBA is under way, and the biggest story this year isn’t Draymond’s punch, or Kawhi’s comeback. It’s the Season of Wembanyama. The French phenom will have teams salivating all season. I spoke with six scouts about the 18-year-old, in @TheAthletic: bit.ly/3s82zDz – 5:00 PM

Quick thoughts on the Warriors:
-I’m guessing the Draymond/Poole incident is going to blow over much faster than everyone anticipates. Fights happen among teammates, the only thing unusual about this one is that WE saw it
-Kerr is a legend. 9 rings. Think about that for a second – 12:41 PM

The NBA is kicking off, but the biggest story in the league this year isn’t Draymond’s punch or Kawhi’s return. It’s the Season of Wembanyama. The phenom still has NBA scouts drooling like few have in years. I spoke w/a half-dozen of them in @TheAthletic: bit.ly/3s82zDz – 12:30 PM

Nico Mannion on Draymond Green punching Jordan Poole:

As the NBA begins, the biggest story isn’t Kawhi’s return, or Draymond’s punch, or the Nets’ soap opera. It’s the Season of Wembanyama. The 18-year-old, 7-foot-4 French phenom still has grizzled NBA scouts salivating over his potential. In @TheAthletic: bit.ly/3s82zDz – 9:00 AM

Four pinpoint passes from Jordan Poole in the last couple minutes. Two tight window bounce passes for Curry and Draymond layups, two transition finds for Curry/Klay wide open 3s (misses). Gaining a bit more on-ball freedom this season, regardless of lineup. – 11:42 PM

Steve Kerr said that most of his players won’t play big minutes tonight as they continue a ramp-up process. Lots of Warriors expected to play. Steph, Wiggins and Poole are the 3 on the higher end (he said maybe low 30’s); Draymond is among others expected to play fewer minutes. – 8:18 PM

More on this storyline
How confident are you in Draymond’s ability to succeed after the Poole incident? Stephen Curry: Very. He’ll figure it out. We will have his back for the entire process. He doesn’t need anyone to hold his hand. He responds well to adversity and critics. -via San Jose Mercury-News / October 19, 2022
The Golden State Warriors are unlikely to trade Draymond Green this season even though they appear to be more upset about his punch of Jordan Poole than their comments and lack of real punishment indicate. Zach Lowe: “From what I’ve heard talking to people, this iciness that you see in the media comments from Poole, saying, ‘You know, we’re professionals. I’ll leave it at that.’ -via RealGM / October 19, 2022
TNT cameras captured a moment in the third quarter during a stoppage in play in which James jogged toward the Warriors bench, where Green left his seat and put his arm around the Lakers megastar. They had some kind of exchange and maybe a laugh. Which NBA fans found very weird, as they should: -via For The Win / October 19, 2022
