Golden State Coach Steve Kerr didn't mince words when it came to the aftermath of Draymond Green's punch to the face of teammate Jordan Poole during practice last week.

"It's never easy," he told reporters after the team's 131-98 exhibition win over Portland Tuesday. "No matter what decision you make in a situation like this, it's not going to be perfect. This is the biggest crisis that we've ever had since I've been coaching. It's really serious stuff. We're not perfect. Our team isn't perfect."

There were individual meetings with Poole and Green, players-only gatherings, management team get-togethers -- all trying to determine a future course.
