Warriors

Coach Steve Kerr said during his pregame news conference that he projected Klay Thompson would play “15 to 16” minutes in his preseason debut.

Poole, who started at shooting guard in the previous four games while Thompson sidelined, returned to his Sixth Man role and looked, well, like he normally does. And, of course, he got a couple forceful dunks. At the same time, though, JK’s athleticism and physicality give him the versatility to fill in at either forward spot. He didn’t slow down, scoring 18 points, per unofficial count of the team website, off six shots from distance. Kuminga also defended with a vengeance and awareness and was selective about shot attempts. He played 16, all in the first half.

"I learn by myself every day," Green said. Spent a lot of time with my kids but also a lot of time dealing with this stuff. Many were wondering where Green had gone during this hiatus, the answer was spending time with family.

This is exactly what Green is trying to avoid as he sets his sights on winning his fifth championship with the Warriors. “And so I said that at the beginning of camp,” Green said. “My general view of my future here is I’m here this year trying to win a championship,” Green said. Did he just hint at possibly parting ways with the Dubs by choosing not to pick up his player option for next season? Now that he’s pretty much dropped a massive bomb on the Dubs’ preparation for their title defense this coming season, the whispers have unsurprisingly gotten louder. In a recent press conference, Dray got brutally frank about what the future holds for him in Golden State (h/t

Draymond has fallen out of favor with some fans for his actions, and it’s not hard to understand why. Will that be a sign that the past is the past and they’ve let go of tension? Or will it be a sign that things are still tense and need smoothing over? We know social media will catch if they sit next to each other on the bench, or hug — or, going the other direction, if they don’t high five on a certain play. That’s not to say it will be comfortable all the way, which Green has already acknowledged and dismissed.

The punch erased any leverage Green had in any talks and it sounds as if he is happy to play with his back against the wall and a chip on his shoulder. [video release](https://www.mercurynews.com/2022/10/07/newly-released-video-shows-draymond-punching-poole-during-warriors-practice/) of the Green punch showed Poole in a vulnerable position, exposed for the public, his family and friends to witness. After a disappointing first two years with the Warriors in which he was shipped off to the G League, Poole transformed into a valuable playmaker and confident 3-point shooter crucial to the Warriors’ playoff run last year. But Poole getting injured or not playing to the same level he did last year are among the risks of leaving money on the table. The Warriors went 29-9 with Poole starting in Klay Thompson’s place before his return on Jan. “Especially considering where he was coming out of Michigan, a late first-round pick, struggling his first few months in the league, there’s a reason he’s in this position, about to sign a big extension, hopefully,” Steve Kerr said last week.

In their first public interaction since their practice incident, Draymond Green and Jordan Poole showed love for each other.

James Wiseman and Jonathan Kuminga flashed impact potential in the Dubs final preseason game.

The Warriors have had far more drama this preseason than they wanted. He’s been more patient offensively and taken advantage of the opportunities he’s received. That’s the beauty of the Warriors current position. It was the Warriors highest picks in 2020 and 2021, James Wiseman and Jonathan Kuminga, who stole the show. In a preseason surprise, Klay Thompson returned to the floor on Friday night, playing his first official minutes of the season. In the Warriors first game since Draymond Green returned to the team after punching Jordan Poole, Dub Nation got to see flashes from nearly every player on their roster.

The Warriors and Jordan Poole are finalizing a four-year, $140 million contract extension, his agents told ESPN.

That tied him with Jerry West in 1968 for the second most in a single postseason, trailing only Andrew Toney in 1982. It also comes in the aftermath of Poole, the 28th overall pick in 2019, has developed into a significant offensive player for the defending NBA champions.

Klay Thompson revealed his thoughts on the Warriors Draymond Green-Jordan Poole punch altercation ahead of the 2022-2023 season.

Draymond Green’s steadiness as a defender and Jordan Poole’s emergence as a star will help the team as Stephen Curry continues to lead them. With Klay Thompson healthy and ready to play a full season, the Warriors are in line to make another deep postseason run. That is a positive sign without question and suggests Golden State may be able to move past the incident sooner rather than later.

The Golden State Warriors have signed Anthony Lamb and Ty Jerome to two-way contracts, while waiving Pat Spencer and Jerome Robinson.

Golden State Warriors guard Jordan Poole drives pas Phoenix Suns guard Chris Paul (3) during the first half of an NBA basketball game, Tuesday, Nov.

Poole stepped into the starting role for Curry — who was coming back from injury — for the first four games of last season’s playoffs and immediately impressed. Green took a few days away from the team and ultimately was fined, but returned to the club for the preseason finale and shared a pregame handshake with Poole before the last exhibition game on Friday night. Poole is entering his fourth season with the Warriors and has seen his numbers improve each season. “We’ve got a lot of good young players, but Jordan is by far the most advanced.” Poole will make about $4 million this season. ESPN first reported the agreement.
