Willard and Dibs discuss how the Warriors’ offseason has played out so far and wonder if the Golden State locker room and front office had soured on Jordan Poole’s future even before the altercation with Draymond Green in practice.

Dibs let it go, it's getting old. He's gone.
I don’t think all the Warriors were fed up. Dante said he would ride with poole till the end. Looney was really upset with the punch. Wiggins and poole are very close. Kuminga often stayed at Pooles home No it was the three old. it’s just a very unfortunate event that we are still debate assault.assault is never right it exposed a lot of things.
Dont know if its true or not but I've read multiple times now that the ONLY two that didn't have any issues with Poole are Wiggins and Looney, that otherwise he was isolated from the rest of the team…idk..I didn't see Donte interacting with him anymore the way he initially did. However only the ppl that were actually there know the full story.
Draymond Green is a great leader nobody is perfect. Michael Jordan punched Steve Kerr it happens more often than people think it just doesn't get recorded.
Ii think it's bs way everyone piling on Poole. He gets punched, then traded. Now his these dudes and some of his team are talking ish, yet Poole hasn't said one word but everyone acting like draymond speaks gospel.
I'm not necessarily pro-Dray but it's ridiculous to say that he's not a good leader. Ok, he failed to lead Jordan Poole for whatever reason, but I remember many times over the years seeing players say that Dray was a leader in the locker room. Were they lying? And, we see him coaching up young guys on the sideline and on the court. I think that Meyers and Kerr should have been better leaders after the punch.
I'm with Willard on this one. When there were reports coming out that Poole had gotten super cocky, but some of the players and even coach Kerr came out and said that wasn't true, I almost immediately thought that there was at least some truth to those reports, because these guys lie to the media constantly. You're not going to say "yeah that kid is one arrogant cocky sob" when you get asked about it by the media. So I think it's almost a sure thing that Poole let the 22 season/playoffs get to his head.
I’ve asked this before on Steiny and Guru’s podcast and now to both of you.Explain to me the truth and real reason why Dray swung that punch on Poole.
TOP 3 REASONS WHY JORDAN IS GONE:
1. Jordan’s contract was horrendous
2. Him and Draymond can’t co-exist. Jordan was never going to forgive him.
3. He sucked in the Playoffs
Poole was a baby. He acted like a child. He was feeling himself…now is a wizard…😢
Instead of continuing to talk about Jordan Poole, who by the way IS NO LONGER WITH THE WARRIORS AND IS PROBABLY GLAD ABOUT IT, you need to be talking about how the Warriors are going fill out their roster! If you hadn't noticed, no one wants to play for them! Probably because of how they treated Poole! MOVE ON!
Klay and dray were intimidated by poole…..its pretty obvious
Willard is right on the money with his takes but that bald head dude is a Poole sympathizer..and a undercover Draymond hater!! He’s clearly not seeing what Draymond brings to the Warriors as a leader!! And yes Draymond made a big mistake hitting Jordan Poole..and I’m glad he’s gone too!!
A good leader can make a mistake. Nobody is perfect. Smh
how many times this season did Klay dribble the ball up court and just throw up a shot? he clearly didn't want to give the ball to JP just to run through 3 screens and not get the ball.
you also cant tell me moody or JK plays better with JP on the court this dude is holding them back by playing like trash with the 2nd unit
Steph asked "What they gonna say now?" after winning their 4th championship and then had to listen to some smart mouth kid bring the dissrespect into the locker room the talent of the Big 3 built! If JP3 is just a hooper like Gil Arenas said then THE PUNCH will be in his top five. Bye Felicia!!!!! Draymond's reputation as a successful leader of a historic championship team was rightfully tarnished by THE PUNCH. His leadership suffered a TKO but he has landed on his feet. Cant wait for his pod.
Poole has low basketball iq and is a liability on defense. Lakers exposed Poole and teams will do the same moving forward.
I hope this show will talk about basketball.
