[Saba Sports News] In his last season with the Golden State Warriors, former general manager Bob Myers dedicated efforts to uncover the source of the leaked video showing Draymond Green’s altercation with Jordan Poole during a practice session.
Despite the involvement of a third-party investigator, the team was unable to identify who leaked the video to TMZ, challenging the team’s initial downplaying of the incident. Myers discussed this investigative endeavor on JJ Redick’s “The Old Man & The Three” podcast, highlighting the organization’s unsuccessful attempt to find the leaker.
The leak had significant ramifications for the Warriors, as Coach Steve Kerr acknowledged it damaged trust within the locker room and affected the team’s performance throughout the season. This atmosphere contributed to the Warriors’ finish at 44-38 and their elimination in the Western Conference semifinals against the Lakers. Subsequently, Poole was traded to the Washington Wizards.
The details surrounding the Poole-Green incident remain largely unknown, including the exact exchange that precipitated the physical altercation, although there has been speculation and claims about the incident’s nature.
