The Draymond Green and Jordan Poole saga is far from over. The Golden State Warriors veteran stirred the pot when he made controversial comments on Patrick Beverley's podcast, eliciting angry reactions from fans.

Green punched Poole last summer before the 2022/23 NBA season. He apologized but it seems the issue clouded their season.

The two put aside their differences, albeit temporarily, to play for the Warriors as they tried to defend the title they won in 2022. However, it seemed the two are yet to quash their beef. After a disappointing postseason, the Warriors traded Poole to the Washington Wizards and acquired Chris Paul in return.

Green discussed the incident on The Pat Bev Pod, and his remarks struck a nerve.

"I don't just hit people," Green said. "Dialogue of course happens over time and you usually ain't just triggered by something that fast, to that degree. This is a team, you know what I'm saying? 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."

The Warriors coach admitted that the incident affected the team's chemistry.

Poole's father responds

Jordan Poole's father, Anthony did not let Green's comments lie. He responded with a brutal Tweet which prompted Green to hit back.

"I’m stand on this that’s is some bs," Anthony Poole said. "Jp was his guy and he avoid me all last year. He is a soft as (expletive) and I’m standing on this and he didn’t apologize to me and my wife. So he lame and me and him can meet anytime he want."

Green fired back with another Tweet.

"That’s so cute… it’s impossible to avoid you an arena for a year champ. I got get my family from that family room every game. And stop using those words, they usually don’t go over well amongst men."

Green has had feuds with other NBA players, making many enemies.

Green vs. Poole timeline

Sports Brief earlier reported on the timeline of the Green and Poole feud.

Cracks first started to emerge in their relationship when Green punched Poole in the face during a preseason practice.

Poole and Green weren’t given the opportunity to fix their relationship as the Warriors decided to trade Poole just hours before the NBA Draft.

It culminated in the young guard unfollowing Green on Instagram.
