Jordan Poole didn't want Draymond Green to get suspended
The Golden State Warriors decided against suspending Draymond Green for his actions. Several reports have emerged behind their move. One report by ESPN's Marc J. Spears suggests Jordan Poole did not want Green to get suspended.
The Warriors had several discussions with various key members of the organization involved, including players, coaches and front-office members. Green and Poole were also a part of those talks. According to Spears, the duo spoke to each other in front of their teammates.
“Poole and Draymond spoke in front of the team a couple days ago,” Spears said. “Poole didn’t think it was necessary that Draymond get a suspension. It was put in front of the players whether they thought that Draymond deserved a suspension. And from what I was told is that the players weren’t comfortable levying that on one of their own teammates.”
Draymond Green is an integral part of the Golden State Warriors. He played an instrumental role as a locker room leader in their four championship wins in eight years. Warriors coach Steve Kerr and teammate Kevon Looney believed Green had broken the team's trust.
However, they showed faith in him to make things right with Jordan Poole and the rest of his teammates. Green's early return could be the key to the Warriors getting over the worst crisis the team has faced.
Keeping Draymond Green away for long could have extended the unrest among the Warriors roster. However, with Green allowed to return to the team before opening night, Golden State can redevelop their chemistry early into the season.
The Golden State Warriors roster chemistry has been vital to their success. They aim to defend their title, and that wouldn't be possible without having Green gel with his teammates. He is crucial to their system on both ends of the floor.
Last season, they struggled to win ball games in his absence due to injury, which further showed his importance to the Golden State Warriors. It will be interesting to see how this saga unfolds into the regular season, as it was one of the toughest moments the Warriors have faced as a team.
