It looks like there will be no love between Jordan Poole and Draymond Green now or in the future.
Future hall-of-fame player Chris Paul has been traded twice this offseason as he was sent from Phoenix to the Washington Wizards earlier this week. Days later, the Washington Wizards dealt Paul to the Golden State Warriors for Jordan Poole.
Poole being traded came as a shock as he signed a four-year deal worth up to $140 million just last year. The former Michigan star was the 28th pick in the 2019 NBA Draft and had spent his entire four-year career with Golden State.
Following the trade, several Twitter accounts noticed that Poole quickly unfollowed Draymond Green on Instagram.
Before the 2022-23 season began, there was a viral video showing Poole being viciously punched by Green while in practice. The Warriors were coming off a championship season and did not have anywhere near the same success during the regular season or playoffs.
They finished the year as the sixth seed in the Western Conference and lost to the Los Angeles Lakers in the second round of the NBA Playoffs.

Poole will likely be among the best players on the Wizards next season, so he will have an opportunity to showcase his full abilities.
Poole averaged 20.4 points per contest and played in every game this past season (including the Playoffs).
