Three seasons and 11 games have passed since Jordan Poole has played for the Warriors. Despite the ugly conflict with Draymond Green that precipitated his exit, Poole said after the Warriors’ win Monday over his New Orleans Pelicans that he would consider returning “home” to the team that drafted him in 2019.
Considering the nature of that incident, it would be fair to ask if Green would have an issue playing alongside Poole again.
“I have no issue with that at all,” Green said in the locker room after the game, according to Bay Area News Group’s Joseph Dycus. “I will never stand in the way of this organization thinking they can better themselves.”
“The issue will never be me. Ever.”
Seeing those last two quoted sentences in social media posts, many fans speculated that Green was inferring Poole would be the one to have an issue with a reunion.
Green, on his podcast “The Draymond Green Show,” clarified his postgame comments, pointing out that any decision regarding a Poole-Warriors reunion comes down to the organizations, and not himself.
