While Poole’s time with the Dubs is over, his friendship with former teammates has remained intact. Jordan Poole recently worked out with Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson, and Seth Curry in the offseason.

It’s normal for players from different teams to work out together during the offseason. However, Poole had an ugly breakup with the Warriors. Most of the blame goes to Green, who infamously punched Poole during a practice session last summer.
Poole still has a good relationship with Curry and Thompson. But there’s almost a nonexistent chance of reconciling with Green.
