In an interview on "The TK Show" with Tim Kawakami from The Athletic, Lacob addressed whether the team had to choose between Poole and Green. While Lacob believed the relationship could have been repaired, he acknowledged some concerns.

Unexpectedly, that turned out to be Jordan Poole. Lacob praised Poole's talent and expressed regret over losing him, despite a challenging playoff performance.

Although Lacob didn't blame Green, his remarks confirmed that the relationship was indeed strained. Green's preseason incident continued to loom over the Warriors throughout the season, and reports suggested that Poole had additional disagreements with teammates.
