“Will this Draymond Green and Jordan Poole spat lead to another Kevin Durant situation?”: Head Coach Steve Kerr and GM Bob Myers talk about the in-game spat between the two starters
Warriors’ Head Coach Steve Kerr and GM Bob Myers talk about the Draymond Green – Jordan Poole spat, call it healthy
The Golden State Warriors fan witnessed a sight last night, which would have taken them 3 years in the past. Draymond Green is on the bench, yelling and fighting with a teammate of his. The last time we witnessed that, Kevin Durant left the Dubs, not more than 6 months later.
Last night, for a brief minute, Draymond Green and Jordan Poole were seen heated at each other. The situation was tense on the bench, and the two had to be separated.

One worrying factor is that Jordan Poole is midway through his rookie contract, and is due for an extension at the end of the season. In the offseason, JP has made tremendous leaps, and has gotten much better, as an individual. The Warriors would like to make sure he sticks around.

GM Bob Myers talked about the same as well and said,
“Teams NEED that. If you just see that, you say ‘what’s the story with that?’ Within any family, that kind of passion and competitiveness is important.”

As long as the two players sorted it out, it seems like there is no cause for concern. However, anytime things like these happen, the Dubs fans are reminded for the 2018 spat that possibly costed us a dynasty.
