Draymond Green hit out at Jordan Poole for the same reason he praised the youngster a few months ago.
According to various insiders, this fiasco occurred once there was a noticeable behavioral change in JP, as he could potentially sign a lucrative contract extension.
Surprisingly, Green, who once liked Poole for the same reason, ended up attacking him.
A few months ago, the 4-time NBA champion spoke about how impressive Jordan’s trashy language was. Recounting an incident that had occurred between JP and Glenn Robinson III, Dray then praised Poole.
“One thing that Jordan did that showed me he’s ‘going to be okay in this league’ actually happened in training camp his rookie year,” said green.
“Jordan came to camp talking shit to everyone and I remember one day he (he) and Glenn Robinson III got into it. All these guys come at me like “tell them to shut up. These young people always have something to sa”’. I’m like “I’m not going to tell her to shut up. If you can’t stand him talking shit, it’s your own fault.
” Dramond added.
Jordan really got high praise from Draymond when he added that he had an innate ability to get under players’ skin.
“At the time, the way he was getting under the guys’ skin, I appreciated that. You know, you combine that with the hard work that she puts in and the amount of skill that she has. And this is a recipe for a guy who is going to be successful in this league.”

It seems pretty hypocritical for Green to attack Poole after saying all this about him.
What does this situation mean for the future of the Golden State Warriors?
Let’s be honest. These two talented lads played an integral role during GSW’s 2022 championship run.
Green is the vocal leader of the team and the defensive threat that all opponents hate to deal with. Whereas, JP is the offensive spark off the bench.
However, after an incident like this, there is a strong possibility that we may not be able to see them share the same locker room ever again.
Unfortunately, it may be the case that Bob Myers and company. will have to decide which of the two players is more important for the franchise to move forward.
