The Golden State Warriors front office took the Dubnation by surprise after the unexpected trade to acquire Chris Paul for Jordan Poole. While the update may have come across as good news for Draymond Green because of his tussle with Poole in the past, a resurfaced video hinted at the 4x All-Star’s troubling times ahead. In response to the old video, fans took to social media and expressed their concerns about the Warriors’ future in the league.

The Dubs were underwhelming throughout the 2022-23 season. Apart from the 2x MVP Stephen Curry, the Warriors roster lacked consistency in their performances. However, in this off-season, the Steve Kerr era could further move into an unexplored terrain as Green’s recent decision may end the dynamic Warriors trio.
