Jordan Poole finally unfollows Warriors teammate

Jordan Poole is no longer a Golden State Warrior. His social media activity made it truly official.

Once the Warriors traded Poole to the Washington Wizards as part of a package and picks for Chris Paul, the 24-year-old guard's first move was to unfollow Draymond Green. He may have been waiting a long time to do that.

Green punched Poole during a practice in training camp, an incident that went viral after someone leaked the footage to TMZ. While Poole never complained or discussed the incident publicly, Green and coach Steve Kerr both agreed the punch had a negative effect on the Warriors' disappointing season.

For Poole, he had to swallow whatever feelings he had about getting slugged, while also seeing Green constantly plugging his podcast any time he opened Instagram. At least Green didn't release the podcast he recorded "right after" punching Poole.

The fallout also may have pushed Golden State to sign Poole to a four-year, $140 million extension before the season. Now they've moved on from Poole before the long-term deal even kicked in, perhaps because they want to commit long-term to his assailant instead.

For his part, Poole hasn't posted on Instagram in two months, which is probably a healthy way to use social media. Unfollowing the teammate who may have forced him out of town is an even healthier approach.
