The Golden State Warriors front office took the Dubnation by surprise after the unexpected trade to acquire Chris Paul for Jordan Poole. While the update may have come across as good news for Draymond Green because of his tussle with Poole in the past, a resurfaced video hinted at the 4x All-Star’s troubling times ahead. In response to the old video, fans took to social media and expressed their concerns about the Warriors’ future in the league.
The Dubs were underwhelming throughout the 2022-23 season. Apart from the 2x MVP Stephen Curry, the Warriors roster lacked consistency in their performances. However, in this off-season, the Steve Kerr era could further move into an unexplored terrain as Green’s recent decision may end the dynamic Warriors trio.

Draymond Green and Jordan Poole had a salty relationship last season after the 4x champion punched Poole during a practice session. After the incident, the NBA world witnessed the duo’s lack of camaraderie during the games. However, Green’s painstaking relationship came to an end after the Chris Paul trade, but a 3-year-old resurfaced video clip ignited a Twitter wildfire.

During one of the podcast episodes of All The Smoke in 2020, DrayMagic opened up about his equation with the 38-year-old NBA veteran. He said, “I don’t like CP at all, we don’t have a good relationship at all but… he is smart as hell.” Green further went on to describe Paul’s equation with Steph and laid down a harsh criticism of the star.

If Green exits the Dubs, the Warriors under Steve Kerr would face their first season without the star defender.

He might not like him, but he said he respects CP3 and that’s probably going to be enough to make it work. Draymond didn’t respect Poole.
