Ever.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Seeing those last two quoted sentences in social media posts, many fans speculated that Green was inferring Poole would be the one to have an issue with a reunion.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Green, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=KEXtvvKYtbw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">on his podcast &#8220;The Draymond Green Show,&#8221;<\/a> clarified his postgame comments, pointing out that any decision regarding a Poole-Warriors reunion comes down to the organizations, and not himself.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;What those comments were &#8212; they asked me about Jordan Poole&#8217;s comments &#8230;\u00a0and they were asking me,\u00a0like, how did I feel about that,&#8221; Green recalled\u00a0on his podcast. &#8220;And I told them I don&#8217;t have a problem with that at all. Number one, I don&#8217;t make decisions here. I&#8217;m a basketball\u00a0player. I don&#8217;t decide my own future here, let alone someone else&#8217;s &#8230;\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Number two, what I\u00a0said was also, I&#8217;m an adult. So if you&#8217;re asking me as if that&#8217;s going to be a problem for me, that&#8217;s no problem for me &#8230;\u00a0I&#8217;m not someone who\u00a0walks around with a grudge.&#8221;\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/sfstandard.com\/2026\/11\/10\/jordan-poole-draymond-green-warriors-reunion\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">The San Francisco Standard&#8217;s Danny Emerman<\/a>\u00a0provided another quote from Green\u00a0from Monday night, in which the Warriors veteran further explained how he has moved on from the incident, and that the decision around Poole returning does not fall on him.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe had our issue that I f&#8211;ked up on, and that\u2019s that,\u201d Green said, according to Emerman. \u201cBut I\u2019m not one to hold grudges, I\u2019m not one to sit around and try to damper something for someone else. So if that\u2019s what he wants, I understand that. \u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;But that\u2019s not a Draymond issue. That\u2019s a Golden State Warriors decision.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>In his podcast, Green\u00a0provided an example of a similar situation, saying that Warriors general manager Mike Dunleavy asked him about his thoughts on trading for then-Washington Wizards guard Chris Paul. Green recalled that he told his GM that the two did not see &#8220;eye-to-eye&#8221; and that he couldn&#8217;t say that he was &#8220;very fond of him at all.&#8221;\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I told Mike then &#8212; I\u00a0said, &#8216;Mike, I\u00a0wouldn&#8217;t stand in the way of what you think this team needs, or what can help make this team better,'&#8221; Green recalled telling Dunleavy. &#8220;I would never stand in the way\u00a0of that. And so, same went for last night when I was asked that &#8230;\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;&#8230; If\u00a0they were like, &#8216;Man, we&#8217;re bringing Jordan Poole in&#8217; &#8212; whether that&#8217;s a trade, whatever it is &#8212; and I was still\u00a0[with the Warriors], that&#8217;s a non-issue for me.&#8221;\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Green seems to be abstinent when it comes to personnel decisions at this point in his career, and that extends to any possible reunion with Poole.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/dubs-talk-a-golden-state-warriors-podcast.simplecast.com\/episodes\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Download and follow the Dubs Talk Podcast<\/a><\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Three seasons and 11 games have passed since Jordan Poole has played for the Warriors. \u00a0 Despite the&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":881446,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3786],"tags":[7,200,479,164,4025,4024,2771,6,255],"class_list":["post-881589","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-golden-state-warriors","tag-basketball","tag-draymond-green","tag-golden-state","tag-golden-state-warriors","tag-goldenstate","tag-goldenstatewarriors","tag-jordan-poole","tag-nba","tag-warriors"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nba\/117597442093258130","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/881589","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=881589"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/881589\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/881446"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=881589"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=881589"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=881589"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
