I asked Draymond Green about rebuilding trust w/ his team. He said the world “trust” isn’t the most fitting word. Instead, he says it’s about making sure the camaraderie is there.

KD is confident that Draymond’s punch isn’t going to derail the Warriors — but he also understands that it’s “not the same situation,” that he and Draymond dealt with back in 2018. He’s hoping his old team can find a way to move forward. espn.com/nba/story/_/id…12:33 PM

Why the Warriors owe everything to Jordan Poole for the way he’s handling this Draymond Green-inspired “crisis,” at @TheAthletic
He’s the only reason their title defense isn’t in tatters right now.

More on this storyline

Michael Scotto: There have been rumors out there circulating about Draymond Green and the Los Angeles Lakers. Obviously, he has a relationship with LeBron James. Some in the Warriors’ organization I’ve spoken to aren’t concerned about it. There’s a belief from some around the league it could be a negotiating tactic to get more money in extension talks with the Warriors, and maybe LeBron is trying to weaken the competition in the West. The Lakers have always been connected to star players like Draymond and Kyrie Irving, looking ahead to next summer’s offseason. -via HoopsHype / October 14, 2022
Anthony Slater: A suspension was bantered around plenty the day of and in the aftermath when the video came out. There were more people in the organization who hadn’t even actually seen the punch yet. It was discussed. In some people’s opinion in the organization he kind of was (suspended). He missed two games and a week of camp. -via HoopsHype / October 14, 2022
