Green has said that he'll almost certainly be a free agent next summer, while it looks like the Warriors and Poole are about to agree to a nine-figure extension.
When the video of the punch leaked, and the depth of Green's rage was clear, the contract speculation ramped up, even as everyone involved denied it, including Green.
