Poole and Green were involved in a fight during the preseason. A leaked video from a Warriors’ practice showed Green decking Poole after an irritated Poole foolishly lunged at the bruiser. Poole was negotiating a raise at the time and secured a contract extension despite the dustup. It seemed like the Warriors were banking on a future with Poole, and that Green’s days were numbered.<\/p>\n
Green declined a player option and is currently a free agent. Reports out of San Francisco suggest Green will return to the Warriors with a new contract. Nine months after the fight, Poole departed in a trade, and Green is expected to remain with the Warriors.<\/p>\n

Curry was sidelined with injuries this season, and Poole started 43 games. Poole spent half of the 2022-23 season as the sixth man, but still finished the regular season as the Warriors’ third-best scorer. He averaged a career-high 20.4 points, 4.5 assists, and 2.7 rebounds per game in the regular season while shooting 33.6% from 3-point range.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
Poole had a subpar postseason and struggled on both ends of the court by averaging 10.3 points, 3.5 assists, and 2.2 rebounds per game. He connected on only 25.4% of his 3-point attempts. He looked so lost at times that head coach Steve Kerr benched Poole during the fourth quarter in crunch time, and he wasn’t on the court to close out games.<\/p>\n
As much as Poole wanted to become the third member of the Splash Brothers with Curry and Thompson, he was never embraced as an equal, especially after he faltered in the postseason. The Splash Brothers are an unbreakable dynamic duo — like Batman and Robin or Hall & Oates — and they were never going to become a power trio with Poole, despite all the media hype.<\/p>\n
Betting the Warriors with CP3<\/h2>\n Paul has never won an NBA championship, so he was expected to go hunting for a title in the off-season via free agency. The Los Angeles Lakers and LA Clippers were both favorites to pursue Paul in free agency. The Dallas Mavericks were also interested in Paul’s veteran point guard skills. The Warriors didn’t allow Paul to hit the free agency waters and prevented him from joining one of their division foes or conference rivals.<\/p>\n
