According to Chris Haynes, some players have reported a bit too much over-the-top behavior from Poole in the recent period, especially since talk of contract renewals for him at NBA star figures began.
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.
