As things stand, the defending champs are keeping their current roster intact as they begin their title defense for the 2022-23 season. The dark cloud hovering over that decision thus far is whether the team chemistry will be where it needs to be for the on-court product to be at the standard most Warriors fans are used to. While Draymond Green has spoken out publicly about his actions and expressed regret at ever laying his hands on Jordan Poole, it doesn’t mean everything can go back to normal. According to Warriors journalist and Locked on Warriors podcast host Cyrus Saatsaz, the fractured relationship between Poole and Green has not been on the mend just yet. “I’ve had sources tell me that behind the scenes, Jordan Poole has not forgiven Draymond,” claimed Saatsaz in his appearance on the Locked on NBA podcast. “They haven’t spoken. He’s not happy — I don’t know how you could be — It’s a horrible look. The image of it is awful. It’s borderline emasculating.”

The @Golden State Warriors Steve Kerr addressed criticism that he’s more worried about the TMZ leak than the Draymond Green punch itself:
“I am concerned about both. They’re both a problem. The incident is a problem, the leak is a problem. I don’t rank these things.” – 12:05 PM

More on this storyline
We spoke with “The Jet” out at LAX last week shortly after we posted the shocking footage of Green blasting Poole in the middle of a Warriors workout … and the NBA analyst told us that while it was “uncomfortable” to watch, it’s not nearly as serious as some think it is. Kenny Smith says Draymond Green violently socking Jordan Poole in a practice last week is a huge nothing burger … telling TMZ Sports similar incidents will happen “at least twice a year on each team.” -via TMZ.com / October 11, 2022
“That behavior is uncommon in normal society, without question,” Smith said. “However, that behavior happens a lot in sports because of the physicality, the adrenaline, and all those things.” “I thought it was going to be worse when I saw the video. I was like, ‘Oh, they just got into a scuffle.'” -via TMZ.com / October 11, 2022
Stephen A. Smith: “I can tell you right now, Andrew Wiggins and Jordan Poole are a priority [for the Warriors. I can tell you right now that Draymond Green is expecting this to be his last year in Golden State. Now, he wanna be a Laker. He ain’t gonna tell anybody that, but don’t think I don’t know. He’d prefer to be a Laker if he gotta leave Golden State. -via YouTube / October 10, 2022
