Logan Murdock talked with Poole after the Warriors season had ended, and the 23-year-old was pretty open.

"I don't have no answer for you," Poole told Murdock from The Ringer when asked where his relationship with Green stands now. "Other than that, we was just on the court and teammates, and we was out there trying to win games.

"What I do recall saying at the beginning of the season is that, 'We're coming. We're going to come out here. We're going to play on the court. We're going to try to win a championship.' We were teammates. It's just business, honestly. And that's really all it was, it is, it has been. It's just been business. It's been basketball," he added.

Before the season, Poole and Green were involved in an altercation during practice when Green punched Poole in his face. Up until now, it's unclear what happened and what caused Green's actions.

Green avoided a suspension from the Warriors and was allowed to begin the season with the rest of the team.

Interestingly, before the incident, Poole looked at Green as an older brother.

"He was pretty accepting," Poole told Murdock prior to last season. "He was willing to take me under his arm. I want to say Steph was injured, and Klay was out, so out of the big three, Draymond was the person I was around the most."

It's likely that both players will stay on the Warriors for at least another year. Green has a $27.6 million player option for the 2023-24 season. Meanwhile, Poole signed a 4-year $128 million deal.
