Anthony Slater should get an award for this.
I don’t have a way to post but in the Sunday Chronicle Scott Ostler wrote a terrific article on Steve Keri’s first training camp. Google it (or if someone more tech savvy than I (not a high bar!) can post it, please do..

Or, he himself might be motivated to "3peat" and opt-in to his least year for the chance to do it.
So many folks want Green paying some kind of price for the Poole punch, that I think they are letting it cloud their judgement about his Warriors future a bit too much. Does anyone think Jordan Poole will be anything but magnanimous after securing his $140M extension? IOW, I think the Poole punch is really much more of a tempest in a teapot than most commentators want to believe, and it really had the middle of a donut to do with Draymond's future with the Warriors.
At the end of the day, if Joe Lacob feels Draymond is a critical piece to winning a championship, he will be a Warrior.
Kerr called this the Warriors biggest crisis since he’s been HC. So, it’s certainly not a “tempest in a teapot”. We saw the punch. What we don’t know is the full backstory. I doubt this was a “one-time” event. I suspect there was a lot of stuff leading up to it. I’m not so sure that Poole is going to be magnanimous about it.
I’d be stunned if the Warriors repeat. Their Championship last year was a nice surprise. But one more year of wear and tear on Curry, Klay and Draymond…
