Perhaps the biggest topic of discussion around the NBA over the last few days has been the fight during a Golden State Warriors practice in which Draymond Green punched Jordan Poole.
Although Green was apologetic later, some are suggesting it could be the beginning of the end of Golden State’s dynasty, especially considering the contract situation of both men.
Green has a player option for next season, and he reportedly wants a max contract extension, while Poole’s rookie contract will expire at the end of this season.
Some believe if the Warriors can only keep Green or Poole, they should keep Poole.
In fact, Atlanta Hawks star Trae Young made a wild suggestion about why Green did what he did.
Via Lakers Daily:
“Atlanta Hawks star guard Trae Young believes that Draymond Green is trying to get to Los Angeles following the release of a video that shows him punching Jordan Poole in practice this week.”
Draymond is tryna get to LA.
Damn ! 😳— Trae Young (@TheTraeYoung) October 7, 2022
Quite frankly, this sounds like a conspiracy theory, but stranger things have happened.
