Steph Curry, Steve Kerr, and Andre Iguodala have now all come out to call out Chris Haynes and refute his report that a change in Jordan Poole’s behavior throughout camp was what led to his altercation with Draymond Green.



Steph Curry in his latest press conference:

> That specific tweet that was insinuating JP’s attitude has changed since training camp or whatever time length that they’re talking about…it’s absolute BS. Andre addressed it yesterday with his tweet. JP’s been great. There’s nothing that warranted the situation yesterday. Horrible when speculation becomes opinion and becomes borderline fact of what actually happened. I hate that that became part of the narrative. It’s not fair to JP.

Steve Kerr earlier today:

> The only thing I will say is that Jordan has been fantastic throughout camp. There was a report I was made aware of last night that Jordan had an attitude in camp. Nothing can be further from the truth. He’s been fantastic. Disappointing to see misinformation out there. But I wanted to make sure I set the record straight on that.

Iguodala yesterday:

> What we not gone do is talk crazy about my young fella JP… great character kid… miss me with all that other bs… straight from the “SOURCE”

The tweet from that they’re referencing:

[[Haynes] Draymond Green was apologetic in aftermath of the altercation with Jordan Poole, but there was a buildup stemming from teammates noticing a change in Poole’s behavior throughout camp with the guard on the verge of securing a lucrative extension, league sources tell @YahooSports.](https://twitter.com/ChrisBHaynes/status/1577846177793380352)

About time Haynes got called out. This guy is not a journalist. He’s just a mouthpiece for Klutch. Absolute bush league stuff for him to drag the other players into this like a complete weasel (“there was a buildup stemming from teammates noticing a change”), making up this bullshit about how the whole team had noticed a change in Poole when all he’s trying to do is spin the narrative and defend Draymond punching a teammate.

Every time a Klutch client acts like an imbecile and gets into some controversy you can always count on Haynes to come out immediately with some PR spin and damage control. Let’s not forget, he’s the same guy [who defended Rich Paul and blatantly lied about him screwing over Nerlens Noel](https://www.reddit.com/r/nba/comments/aktrq5/chris_haynes_is_rich_pauls_guy_noels_old_agent/), put out stories that [LeBron never wanted Westbrook and wasn’t responsible for him coming](https://hoopshype.com/2022/03/16/chris-haynes-lebron-james-and-lakers-front-office-wanted-demar-derozan-but-not-on-three-year-deal/) once Russ started playing poorly, and covered for LeBron when he was holding out on getting the vaccine and [definitively declared that he had gotten vaccinated despite zero evidence.](https://twitter.com/chrisbhaynes/status/1396972466870784001?lang=en) Tweeting out statements like *”Being around LeBron James for years, he’s always been private about his medical and never been one to endanger his family or teammates. This statement puts one thing to rest: he’s been vaccinated.”* is not journalism. That’s just shameless PR and dickriding.

  1. Haynes is a mouthpiece reporter though so somebody was thinking it at least

  2. NitroXYZ

    This is so obviously Draymond feeding shit to the media to try and get something going against Poole because of their upcoming contract situation.

  3. It’s clear Draymond/Kultch fed it to Haynes

  4. TheDreamLives

    Warriors: “The report was so wrong. Complete BS.. JP hasn’t changed at all….. he’s ALWAYS been like this”

  5. idkstopbanningme

    Haynesmond is a mouth piece for Draymond tho lmao

  6. Ilostmyyebutton

    The whole sub was shitting on JP assuming it was true while reposting that dumb fucking Klay video where he jokingly says its good to humble poole. Lol

  7. george_costanza1234

    The number of idiots in this sub who actually went after Poole, show yourself 🤣

  8. NoirPochette

    I meant they aren’t going to out and out say that Jordan Poole’s attitude caused it. They’ll keep it in house in that regard

  9. GetThereInOnePiece

    Draymond must’ve felt like a fucking puppet master 💀💀💀

  10. Youre_On_Balon

    Dray seems to be misunderstanding his current status in the org., these 3 just clarified for him

    Real shameful to hit a dude and then try to spin that he had it coming

  11. Vatfagyna

    Man more than half these reports are bogus. People love eating that shit up though cause they don’t really care about basketball

  12. runevault

    Says a lot that Steph stood up for Poole. I figured he’d either stay quiet or stand with Draymond. Dude must have REALLY fucked up.

  13. > There’s nothing that warranted the situation yesterday.

    Surprised to see no one talking about this portion of Steph’s statement. That’s pretty strong language taking one side on the situation. Interesting words

  14. doulikegamesltlman

    Rich Paul: “Thwarted again. Darn these meddling kids”

  15. hence_1999

    Y’all gonna drag this klutch shit on for a few weeks?

  16. tronovich

    Ok, so the teammates are bashing Haynes for a BS story when he’s just a mouthpiece for *their* teammate.

    So, are they throwing Dray under the bus, or is it a matter of everyone lying about who was “wrong” until this blows over?

  17. kobmug_v2

    LeBron is vaccinated since he played in Toronto last year, that’s not “spin”.

  18. blakeley

    Time for Dray to take a pay cut to allow Poole to resign.

    > Every time a Klutch client acts like an imbecile and gets into some controversy you can always count on Haynes to come out immediately with some PR spin and damage control. Let’s not forget, he’s the same guy who defended Rich Paul and blatantly lied about him screwing over Nerlens Noel, put out stories that LeBron never wanted Westbrook and wasn’t responsible for him coming once Russ started playing poorly, and covered for LeBron when he was holding out on getting the vaccine and definitively declared that he had gotten vaccinated despite zero evidence.

    Exactly why I don’t pay any mind to anything that clown Haynes says. He’s just a Klutch shill. Trying to rewrite history on what Rich Paul did to Nerlens and outright lie about it is disgusting.

    Kinda seems more like a Draymond jealousy situation to me. Poole is going to get paid. Most likely a contract similar to RJ Barrett or Tyler Herro. There have been reports of Orlando possibly offering him a max deal, but my guess is the Warriors will match whatever offer. Draymond still thinks he’s worth max money and knows that Poole’s contract will derail that. So if you’re Draymond you try to either force yourself out or force Poole out.

    > and covered for LeBron when he was holding out on getting the vaccine and definitively declared that he had gotten vaccinated despite zero evidence. Tweeting out statements like “Being around LeBron James for years, he’s always been private about his medical and never been one to endanger his family or teammates.

    Haynes dickrides LeBron and Klutch so much, it’s nauseating. So glad Kareem called out Bron on his braindead takes about the vaccine.

    Mouthpiece for Klutch so is Shannon, Windy, and Lowe but yall let them slide tho lol
