Connor Letourneau: Bob Myers on Draymond’s contract situation: “Draymond’s in a great spot. He’s got a player option. … It’s a great position for a player to be in. You control your destiny. … I imagine he’ll have a fantastic year. I think he will. …

What’s the buzz on Twitter?

Jordan Poole kept his comments about the Draymond Green situation pretty brief. Acknowledged that Draymond apologized to him. Said, “We’re here to win championships and hang banners.” – 4:22 PM

Jordan Poole says Draymond Green apologized, they plan to handle it themselves that way. “We’re here to win a championship and keep hanging banners.” – 4:17 PM

Warriors extending Poole, Wiggins was no-brainer, but the Draymond Green decision next summer won’t be so easy

I looked at what the new Jordan Poole and Andrew Wiggins extensions mean for Draymond Green’s Warriors future: sfchronicle.com/sports/warrior…7:18 PM

That was not a very close fight. Very good fight indeed! But not close #ShieldsMarshall6:23 PM

The big development is the Warriors have clearly chosen youth and the future. Question now is how much longer will the original core be with them.
Curry is unquestionable. Draymond is the first chip to decide on (if the decision hasn’t already been made). Then Klay. – 6:02 PM

The Warriors will be paying $275M+ just in luxury tax in 2024, assuming Draymond opts in.
That number is higher than the total player salaries of the Knicks and Grizzlies combined this season. pic.twitter.com/LHzXZLiLzj5:45 PM

Bobby Marks @BobbyMarks42
Golden St. payroll and tax penalty in 2023/24 will likely exceed $500M once the roster is filled.
That factors in Draymond Green opting-in to his $27.6M player option.
With 12 players
💰Salary: $215M
💰Tax: $268M
💰💰Total: $483M – 5:34 PM

It is going to be fascinating to see how Draymond Green performs this season. Absolutely fascinating. – 5:27 PM

Jordan Poole’s big contract extension could ratchet up the odds of the Warriors parting ways with Draymond Green. Here’s why: sfchronicle.com/sports/warrior…5:11 PM

More on this storyline

Madeline Kenney: Bob Myers on Draymond Green returning to practice: “We did our best, understand there’s different viewpoints but from our perspective it did involve a lot.” -via Twitter @madkenney / October 16, 2022
It was at that point when the Los Angeles Lakers icon revealed his theory as to why Green ended up punching his own teammate right in the face: “Let’s just speculate why [Poole] got touched up,” Shaq said. “… When you win a championship, the others come back they come back different. … Especially if it was an ‘other’ who played a big part in you winning. Jordan Poole definitely played a big part in them winning. So, I think a lot of times those people try to check their pecking order status. The pecking order status on that team belongs to three people: Draymond, Klay, and Steph. “… I think the young fellow was getting real choppy, especially (since) he’s about to get that contract extension. … Talking a little too greasy to Draymond and Draymond had to check him. This happens.” -via Clutch Points / October 16, 2022
