The Golden State Warriors finished last season in disappointing fashion, though they started it in controversial fashion as well with Draymond Green's practice attack on Jordan Poole. Poole has since been traded to the Washington Wizards, which caused him to open up on the move recently.

On the other hand, Green signed a massive $100 million deal with the Warriors recently, cementing his status as a cornerstone of the Warriors for years to come. On Tuesday, it was revealed by Green that he didn't get immediately “triggered” by  Poole prior to his attack on the former Michigan Wolverine and longtime fan favorite with the Warriors.

It was a culmination of events and things said that led to the incident according to Green, as discussed on the “Pat Bev Pod” with Philadelphia 76ers guard Patrick Beverly.

Poole opened up recently on why he chose not to speak about the Green punch during the season. He was asked recently if he had heard from Green since the trade.

“We’re in Washington now. Playing with Kuz (Kyle Kuzma), great duo,” Poole said recently, deciding once again to avoid the Green issue. “Help a new team, lead an entire group of guys. It's a challenge that we're up for.”

Steve Kerr, the Warriors' head coach, said “there was some trust lost” after the preseason punch. Golden State stumbled to a second round playoff exit against the Los Angeles Lakers, leading to speculation that team chemistry was the issue.

“There was some trust lost,” Kerr said last May, prior to July's trade of Poole. “We have to get back to what made us successful, which is a trusting environment.”
