The Warriors have some work to do.

Warriors players Jordan Poole and Draymond Green are two players who are currently in the middle of a little bit of controversy. Jordan Poole was punched in the face by Draymond Green last week, and naturally it has become a focal  point heading into the NBA season.  Dray has since been fined for punching his teammate.  Heading into the offseason, Poole, Green, and Andrew Wiggins will be three players that need contract extensions. The Warriors have some big decisions to make, and according to Bobby Marks of ESPN, Green will likely be the odd man out.

Marks believes the Warriors are prioritizing Poole and Wiggins ahead of Draymond Green. This means Green could be headed to a new squad.

“It’s Jordan Poole,” Marks said. “… I think it’s Andrew Wiggins second. And then I think you look at Draymond Green with that player option for next year. I think there’s certainly a priority if you’re Golden State to retain Jordan Poole and do it now and not wait. And then I think that shifts the focus as far as Andrew Wiggins, who has until June 30th to sign that next contract.”

There have been all sorts of rumors involving Green and the Los Angeles Lakers.

Something tells me he may have outworn his welcome once and for all.
