"I don't just hit people. Dialogue happens over time and you usually ain't triggered by something that fast. You know, to that degree. This is a team. Ain't nobody on my team triggering me in an instant. We know stuff you don't say amongst men. We know things that you have to stand on."

Draymond Green gets paid regardless

A lot of speculation regarding the incident between Jordan Poole and Draymond Green suggests that Poole taunted Green regarding his contract extension. After Poole received a massive payday, he supposedly taunted Green for not getting paid.

Needless to say, one can see why this would be infuriating. However, in light of recent events, it is clear that the Golden State Warriors saw the value of prioritizing Draymond.

After opting out of his contract, Green became a free agent this offseason. However, Golden State almost immediately found a way to bring him back as they signed him to a $100 million deal over the next four years.

While it is still lower than Poole's contract of $140 million, it is safe to say that Green got paid regardless.
