Draymond Green Addresses Jordan Poole-Warriors Reunion Comments, 'I'm Not One to Hold Grudges'

Golden State Warriors star forward Draymond Green isn't going to stand in the way of a potential reunion with New Orleans Pelicans guard Jordan Poole.

After Poole expressed interest in returning to the Warriors following Monday night's 138-87 blowout win for Golden State, Green was asked about his comments, and he said he would have no problem with playing alongside Poole again.

"We had our issue that I f--ked up on, and that's that," Green told Danny Emerman of the San Francisco Standard on Monday. "But I'm not one to hold grudges, I'm not one to sit around and try to damper something for someone else. So if that's what he wants, I understand that. But that's not a Draymond issue. That's a Golden State Warriors decision."

Poole was shipped away from the Warriors three seasons ago, a year after he and Green had a physical confrontation during practice. The once-promising sharpshooter has struggled to find consistency away from Golden State, so it's not surprising that he would want to return to where he was at his best.

Green went on to affirm during his podcast that he would stand by the Warriors' decision to bring back Poole if that's what the organization chose to do.

"What those comments were -- they asked me about Jordan Poole's comments … and they were asking me, like, how did I feel about that," he said. "And I told them I don't have a problem with that at all. Number one, I don't make decisions here. I'm a basketball player. I don't decide my own future here, let alone someone else's... Number two, what I said was also, I'm an adult. So if you're asking me as if that's going to be a problem for me, that's no problem for me … I'm not someone who walks around with a grudge."
