We now have more information on why Draymond Green punched Jordan Poole in the face.
It was something that you have probably figured out for yourself. Poole knows he is about to get paid, and Draymond knows he isn’t about to get born. Draymond knows he is likely in his last year with the Warriors and is upset that Poole is flaunting it in his face.
The reason Poole pushed Draymond was calling him a little b*tch, according to TMZ Sports.
Jordan Poole is set for a big contract extension with the Golden State Warriors — something he’s supposedly made known around the team’s facilities — and it’s the reason things boiled over with Draymond Green … TMZ Sports has learned.
Sources who were at the practice where Green punched Poole tell us … in the days leading up to the incident, Poole was carrying himself differently — in a cocky manner. The alleged behavior was creating friction between him and some of his teammates, including Draymond, who has reportedly also asked for a big extension.
Fast forward to Wednesday’s practice. Our sources on site say Poole called several fouls during a scrimmage, and Draymond called him a “bitch” multiple times as a result.
Things escalated when Poole allegedly said, “You know what it is, Draymond.” — seemingly bragging over the contract situation — and Draymond got in Poole’s face, allegedly saying, “No I don’t know, what is it?”
Then, as played out in video obtained by TMZ Sports, you see Poole push Draymond back, and Draymond delivers the blow to his teammate’s jaw.
This makes sense of what actually happened, no matter what the Warriors are leaking publicly and privately to the media.
I am of the opinion that winning cures all, so it isn’t something that can’t be overcome, but Green will have to go sooner than later.
