But it’s the Wizards next on the schedule, which means Jordan Poole’s return. That subject is delivered to four of the team’s leaders — Steve Kerr, Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson and Kevon Looney — and all four make two things clear: His time with the Warriors should be viewed as an unequivocal success, celebrated locally, but there is a level of discomfort about what transpired to change the narrative about his time with the franchise. “I look back at that, and I hate that it happened,” Kerr said. “I know that in my heart, that when (the punch) happened, we handled it the best way we thought we could handle it. But in hindsight — and hindsight is always 20/20 — we could have done better for sure. I just hate the way it ended for Jordan here, because he is a huge success story. For us and for him, this was a great marriage. He helped us win a title. We helped him, you know, become a champion and a guy who signed a big contract, life-changing contract. It was all wildly successful. But I hate the way it ended.”
