Season hasn't even started yet and Draymond is up to nonsense. Hopefully it tears their locker-room to pieces

Sounds like teammates didn’t disagree with how Draymond was feeling.

Draymond was "apologetic" after his altercation with Jordan Poole, but teammates have noticed a change in Poole's behavior throughout camp amid contract extension talks, per @ChrisBHaynes

Interesting, but this doesn't surprise me too much - Poole seems very arrogant on the floor.

Interesting.  In college Poole had a pretty poor sophomore season as he was focused on the NBA draft and less on college.  He butted heads with his teammates and coaches a lot that last year, and probably contributed to John Beilein leaving.  Sounds like he might be re-entering that same mindset.

Draymond being Draymond, hope it breaks their locker room up. But Poole's overrated and trash without Curry on his team.

[Who]

Meh. These things happen. No big deal.

[celticsclay]

Curry and Kerr both said it was not about an attitude from Poole today.

"There was a report that Jordan had an attitude in camp, and that could not be further from the truth," Kerr said. "He's been fantastic."

Curry added: "[Poole] has been great, and there was nothing that warranted the situation yesterday. I want to make that clear."

I’m hearing he’s not likely to miss any games.

How about a different standard for team integrity.

Team A: Coach has an affair with subordinate. Suspended for year.

Team B: Player punches a a teammate. Won’t miss any games.

Team B player does football-tackle style on Team A on court but gets away free no suspension nothing

INTEGRITY OF THE GAME!!!

Green has to be the most overrated player in the league..if he wasn’t on the Warriors, you would barely hear bout him

[ozgod]

Let's hope he causes Poole to leave the Dubs like he did KD

I am not sure how good Draymond is anymore.  You put up with his act and balance the positives with the negatives but as time goes on, the positives diminish so the negatives are more apparent.

In the playoffs last season (he missed about half of the regular season but had similar numbers to the playoffs) he put up 8 pts, 7 rebs, on 20% 3P%.  Now he did get around 6 assists and plays good defense still but overall, I am not sure he is that much better than Grant Williams at this point.  He is under contract for $25.8M this season and $27.6M next.

It seems that the team and the coaching staff are still OK with Draymond but to me the act is getting old.  There was a time where Draymond being Draymond was good for the team.  Not sure that is still the case.  I don't know the details of this incident but it doesn't sound like Curry and Kerr are defending Draymond.  They seem to be more defending Poole and Draymond is getting suspended.  Don't see how this case of Draymond being Draymond is helping the team in any way.

I can't figure out how but wouldn't it be great to have Draymond traded to the Lakers for Westbrook?  Let these guys mess up two teams.  Or maybe somehow to the Suns for Crowder and Saric and something.

[Donoghus]

Alrighty, then.
