It looks like Draymond Green and Jordan Poole have patched it up after their highly controversial scuffle during a Golden State Warriors practice. Ahead of the Warriors’ preseason finale against the Denver Nuggets, Green was seen dapping up Poole. Even better, they seemingly did a pregame handshake, as if nothing is going on between them […]

Even before he got involved in a now-infamous fight with Golden State Warriors teammate Jordan Poole, there were already some question marks about Draymond Green’s future with the team. Now that he’s pretty much dropped a massive bomb on the Dubs’ preparation for their title defense this coming season, the whispers have unsurprisingly gotten louder. […]

Ryan Rollins has a long way to go before earning regular playing time with the Golden State Warriors, let alone living up to his long-term potential. Considering how high the defending champions are on the rookie second-round pick’s future, though, that Rollins is intentionally molding his game after a star veteran’s should certainly excite Dub […]

A lot of hullaballoo was made over Draymond Green’s suspension – or lack thereof. The Golden State Warriors were content just slapping him with a fine rather than have offer any serious retaliation over his own hit against Jordan Poole that leaked on the internet. Reactions were swift and direct on the matter. According to […]

The rumors practically wrote themselves amidst the Draymond Green-Jordan Poole fiasco. One prominent theory was that the incident provided an opening for Draymond Green to make his way from the Golden State Warriors to the Los Angeles Lakers to team-up with his good buddy LeBron James. But how likely is the move to happen? Based […]

After barely a week away from the team, Draymond Green rejoined his Golden State Warriors in practice on Thursday. This actually felt like an eternity after what transpired between him and teammate Jordan Poole.

After struggling for much of the 2021-22 season, the New Orleans Pelicans–ninth in the Western Conference with a 36-46 record–finished the season strong, pushing the league-leading Phoenix Suns to six games in the first round of the playoffs, thanks in no small part to trade deadline acquisition CJ McCollum’s contributions. The Pelicans are on the […]

Get yourself someone who will love you like Klay Thompson loves the ocean. The Golden State Warriors superstar made his unwavering devotion to the water abundantly clear yet again as he took us through his daily routine of his rather unusual commute to work. Perhaps unlike any other player in the history of the NBA, […]

Draymond Green returned to practice on Thursday for the first time since his self-imposed hiatus. The Golden State Warriors veteran faced the media after the practice session and naturally, he was asked about his current standing with teammate Jordan Poole following their now-infamous fight. Green didn’t exactly have much to say about his current relationship […]

Steve Kerr said there was “literally nothing to report” from Draymond Green’s first practice back with the Golden State Warriors since punching Jordan Poole. Considering the widespread belief the defending champions couldn’t have possibly moved on from last week’s violent altercation so quickly, though, any sign of harmony the were willing to offer on Thursday certainly would’ve […]

Success of the Golden State Warriors’ bench this season will hinge largely on the impact and development of Moses Moody, Jonathan Kuminga and James Wiseman. But if any of their prized recent lottery picks aren’t ready for a regular rotation role, the defending champions will have the luxury of relying on a pair of proven […]

The Portland Trail Blazers made a nice splash this offseason, signing a number of different players, including defensive cog Gary Payton II, who just won an NBA title with the Golden State Warriors. Unfortunately, he’s also been dealing with a lingering core injury after a procedure in the summer and is still not really to […]

Steve Kerr has been lauded throughout his decades-long NBA tenure for his emotional intelligence. Bob Myers is one of the most well respected head decision-makers in basketball, notorious for his ability to relate to players on a personal level. Stephen Curry might be the best leader in all of sports, and the Golden State Warriors […]

Golden State Warriors forward Draymond Green isn’t the easiest of guys to get along with in an NBA locker room, and former teammate Kevin Durant will be the first to tell everybody that. The two memorably butted heads during Durant’s last season with the Warriors after Green yelled at the two-time Finals MVP, telling him […]

The Golden State Warriors’ decision to just fine and not suspend Draymond Green for punching Jordan Poole has received plenty of criticisms online. Many even compared it to the Kevin Durant situation back in 2018 when the team handed Green a one-game suspension for yelling at the superstar forward. Sure enough, many couldn’t get their […]

The Golden State Warriors have been under a firestorm this past week after video of the altercation between Draymond Green and Jordan Poole surfaced.

Draymond Green’s punch to Jordan Poole during a recent Golden State Warriors practice was caught on camera. What the leaked video didn’t show, however, is the aftermath of the blow. If Stephen A. Smith’s revelation is true, though, the fight was worse than what many initially imagined. According to Stephen A., Green’s punch was so […]

The basketball world was taken aback by the Golden State Warriors’ recent decision to fine Draymond Green for his punch on Jordan Poole instead of slapping the veteran with a suspension.

It is safe to say Shannon Sharpe is not happy with the Golden State Warriors’ punishment on Draymond Green for punching Jordan Poole. According to the football Hall of Famer who is now serving as an analyst for FOX Sports, the Warriors’ decision was another punch in the face for Poole. Sharpe compared it to […]

The Golden State Warriors’ decision to bring back Draymond Green just one week after he punched Jordan Poole, absent any official suspension, came after much deliberation between team power brokers and the parties directly involved. Still, it goes without saying that Poole could’ve squashed any hopes of fallout from the incident blowing over if he […]

There’s no denying the gravity of Draymond Green’s punch to Jordan Poole, and Steve Kerr didn’t minimize it on Tuesday night when announcing the terms of his return to the Golden State Warriors. Still, considering Green’s history of sparking internal turmoil and the fact his punishment doesn’t include a meaningful suspension, it’s certainly worth wondering […]

After a drama-filled week following the Draymond Green-Jordan Poole fiasco, the next question would be how the Golden State Warriors would be able to proceed going forward.

The Golden State Warriors have laid the hammer down on Draymond Green. Well, somewhat. This is after head coach Steve Kerr announced on Tuesday that the Warriors veteran will be fined for his actions against teammate Jordan Poole.

On Tuesday, Dubs head coach Steve Kerr announced that the team has decided to fine Green and that he […]

Golden State Warriors star Stephen Curry still can’t believe that he is now a four-time champion. Winning three titles is already incredible, but four is just a different kind of special. Curry hinted as much when he joined the CBS Sports broadcast crew during the Warriors’ preseason game against the Portland Trail Blazers on Tuesday. […]

Bob Myers is clearly a huge Stephen Curry fan. I mean, why wouldn’t he be? After all, Steph has made him look good as the Golden State Warriors general manager for all these years. On Tuesday, Myers joined the broadcast for the Dubs’ preseason matchup against the Portland Trail Blazers. When it was time to […]

It’s no secret that Andre Iguodala had basically retired before being coaxed back into playing one more season with the Golden State Warriors less than a week before training camp tipped off in late September. As a result, it should come as no surprise that the 38-year-old will start his NBA swan song wearing street […]

The Golden State Warriors have yet to make a clear decision on the fate of Draymond Green. With that decision still in limbo, at least one veteran voice believe that was a mistake on their part. Longtime NBA vet Raja Bell was brutally honest during his Real Ones podcast with former Warriors beat reporter Logan Murdock […]

Lost amid the ongoing controversy of Draymond Green’s vicious punch to Jordan Poole at Golden State Warriors practice last week has been the status of Klay Thompson.

Apparently, Los Angeles Lakers guard Patrick Beverley guested on Draymond Green’s podcast hours before the Golden State Warriors veteran ended up punching Jordan Poole during practice. Beverley came in late for his guest appearance on the podcast and he had another engagement afterward. As it turns out, the fact that Pat Bev was rushing throughout […]

Despite all the drama he’s brought upon the Golden State Warriors of late, there’s still no denying that Draymond Green still remains to be one of the most important players on the roster right now. The Dubs need him for their title defense this coming season, and in spite of his recent fight with Jordan […]

Andrew Wiggins will be a free agent next summer unless the Golden State Warriors sign him to an extension before July. As the 2022-23 season dawns, though, Wiggins isn’t worried about the uncertainty of his long-term future, instead focused solely on helping his current team defend its title. Winning back-to-back championships isn’t the only goal […]

Few retired players maintain as much clout with fan bases of their former team than Stephen Jackson does with the Golden State Warriors. Just because Captain Jack is a Bay Area legend, though, hardly meant Mary Babers-Green was going to let his take on her son’s vicious punch to Jordan Poole stand unchallenged. The result […]

Question marks abound after the Jordan Poole-Draymond Green incident and subsequent video leak from the Golden State Warriors practice. As things stand, the defending champs are keeping their current roster intact as they begin their title defense for the 2022-23 season.
