QUOTES/NOTES/TOPICS:
• Bob Myers on the Draymond Green / Jordan Poole situation: "Everyone is fine. Jordan practiced today, Draymond Green. It's the NBA. Professional sports. These things happen…Jordan (Poole) practiced today. Draymond (Green) didn't…We don't condone it but it happened…We don't like going through it but it's part of the NBA…Space is good…Yesterday wasn’t a good moment. Bottom line. It wasn’t a good moment.” Myers said Draymond went home after apologizing to the team. Green's suspension will be handled internally. Draymond Green apologized to the team this morning. Wouldn't comment on whether Green will be back in the facility in the coming days. Deferred that question to Steve Kerr. “I think we’re gonna get past this. I don’t think this stays for the rest of the season. We’ll move on.” (CJ Holmes, Mark Haynes, 95.7 The Game, Kerith Burke, Anthony Slater)
• Myers said he doesn't sense the incident between Green and Poole stemmed from any tension with possible contract extensions looming: “I don't think this was related to who's getting paid and who isn't.” (Mark Medina)
• On the Warriors’ locker room: “This group has been together a long time, which means you've been through a lot. It helps to have the same people in the room. There are a lot of real relationships on this team that can withstand adversity.” (Mark Medina)
• On if this will impact contract talks for Draymond Green and Jordan Poole: “It doesn’t change an approach. It doesn’t change our feelings on it.” (95.7 The Game)
• Myers said he's having “ongoing” talks with Jordan Poole's reps about a contract extension. Myers insisted the Draymond-Poole altercation won't affect contract extension talks with either players: “We’ve talked with them, we’re gonna keep talking.” (Mark Medina, 95.7 The Game)
• Myers to Curry this morning, in a moment of levity: “You ready to do some leading?” Curry: “Y’all gotta pay me more.” Myers: “We’re paying you as much as we can.” (Monte Poole)
• Myers says Draymond Green has crossed the line before but he always comes back from it: “I think he’ll find the way to earn the respect of his teammates and Jordan back, but that’s the work he has to do…I have confidence that it won't erode the fabric of our team.” (Melissa Rohlin)
• On whether Draymond Green will miss any games: “I don't think so at this point. I didn’t hear it.” (Melissa Rohlin, 95.7 The Game)
• Myers said he was told the dialogue before the Draymond/Poole altercation was “not anything more than the normal bickering in a scrimmage.” (Mark Medina)
• Myers said Draymond Green is one of his favorite players: “Draymond is one of my favorite players...I still love the person but don't love what he did...I just said, ‘You're better than this. Don’t do this to yourself and don’t put yourself in this position.’…He's complicated but he is a good person. I've seen it, I've seen the things he's done, yesterday wasn't one of them…He's been over that line. But he always comes back. He's a unique guy. Without him, we don't win.” (Melissa Rohlin, Mark Haynes, 95.7 The Game, Madeline Kenney, Mark Medina)
