I watched the video. Yes, Green is very aggressive. But Poole pushes him. That’s all. Not sure either are right or wrong. From everything I’ve read, Poole has been obnoxious all training camp to Green, talking trash, his personality having changed from last season. Not saying that’s a bad thing. Green’s a huge trash talker. And maybe Poole is trying to get the best out of him. But from what I’ve read, this has been building for weeks because Poole has just not shut up.

That report literally came from Green's camp through his guy... Green is likely the most annoying guy in the gym. The dispute is they were in scrimmage and Poole was calling fouls on Dray (the guy has literally never thought he committed a foul ever) and Green kept calling him bitch. Poole clearly wasn't into the discussion as he wasn't even looking at him. "The push" was clearly self defense to create separation from a guy that got in his space.

Yall need to give it a rest defending Green in any of this. He gets 100% of the blame pie here and there are other factors at play. He will be a Laker sometime in the next 12 months.

You're not going to push someone off you who's screaming 1 millimeter from your face? I doubt that

Dray wanted to punch Poole… really didn’t matter what Jordan did…. Push, put up his hands, whatever. Dray walked over there wanting to get into it and went to the death punch in an instant.

Jordan could have smiled and walked away or whatever… Dray was gonna come for him. He made up his mind when he walked over.

uhhh.... Yeah, I never said he wasn't going to?
 
Since this all came out... Dray had a couple cringy quotes. One where "hurt people hurt people..." like he has a mental health issue or something... so don't come down on him too hard when he punches his teammate into oblivion.

Also had a quote about how the video was cut to make it look worse than it was... wtf is that? Like is there another angle where it looks like he gave Poole a hug.

His apology was okay... but those two things hint to me that he still making excuses for his BS.
 
Does Draymond and Ty Jerome for Ben Simmons make sense for either team?
 
It’s interesting to me how a championship franchise deals with the worst of it. Right?

Not really that interesting to me.

I doubt anyone on the Warriors really likes Draymond that much, but they all respect the hell out of what he does for the team on the court. At the end of the day the Warriors are a dynasty who are trying to stack rings, not placate the public who wants to see the bully punished.

Yep. Called it. He got a fine. From the warriors. That's it. Back to practice on Thursday. What a joke.

By comparison what punishment did Sugar Ray Portis get? From memory it was a team suspension? Now I think Green is a colossal arsehole as much as the next man but it isn't a crime.

I would have taken someone on the Jazz punching teammates if it meant we werent as soft as we were the past couple years.

The Warriors are ok with it too, they're pissed it leaked. Dante Exum went after Miye Oni and it leaked like a sieve, solid culture doesn't end up on TMZ or in the press. I hate watching guys on the jazz be everyone's friend, **** that ****.

Poole gets over it, or gets traded.
