Connor Letourneau: To clarify, Mac McClung is a training-camp invite for the Warriors. No guarantees he makes the 15-man roster. Still, McClung should have a chance — just like Avery Bradley and GPII did a year ago. -via Twitter @Con_Chron / July 20, 2022
On the latest episode of “The Draymond Green Show,” the Warriors forward addressed each one of his former teammates’ moves, disappointed to see them leave, but ultimately thrilled for their next opportunities. “Number one, I want to say congratulations to Gary Payton II — GP2,” Green said. “Well deserved, man. At 29 years old, a guy that has continued to grind and grind and grind. I was looking at GP’s Wikipedia a few days ago and just looking at the teams he’s been on … and never quit. “Extremely happy for him. Not happy to see him go, but always happy to see guys get their money … so to see GP get what he’s due, I thought that was absolutely amazing, I’m happy for GP. Congrats. CHAMP.” -via NBC Sports / July 8, 2022
