Golden State Warriors veterans Stephen Curry and Draymond Green recently broke their silence on the key changes happening within their team. An optimistic Draymond Green says he longs to see the recent addition Chris Paul mentor young Warriors. Meanwhile, sharpshooter Curry welcomed his All-Star teammate, the “Point God”, hoping to pursue greater glory. However, Curry did not shy away from bidding farewell and wishing luck to his former teammate, Jordan Poole. Meanwhile, Poole, now in Washington, spoke about his old friends from the Bay.

Jordan Poole?s trade to the Washington Wizards had given way to a commotion within the Golden State. The youngster?s trade has not gone well with certain Dubs fans and NBA pundits. However, once all the storm got calmed down, Stephen Curry posted an Instagram story, bidding adieu to JP.
Curry spoke highly of the 24-year-old’s work ethic and his run in the 2022 championship win.
After Curry’s comments, Jordan Poole addressed the media in the capital. The 2022 champion admitted that he saw the trade coming and was prepared for it. He did not forget to speak about the Splash Brothers.“Well, those are the two greatest shooters of all time in my opinion personally,” said Jordan Poole. “Also built a relationship to where I can ask them, I can text Steph, I can text Klay. I can call them and just have a conversation. So, that doesn?t leave that doesn?t go anywhere.”?
