he's not. he's never gonna be good enough to justify making 30 million on average. never

his offense isnt good enough for it. You give most players the kind of green light he's had over the last 2-3 seasons and the result will be the same. And he's not gonna morph into a great defender/rebounder/playmaker/decision-maker.

it's strictly PPG with him. and the longer u keep him out there, the worse your defense will be
Minnesota fans said the same thing about Wiggins.

Poole has talent but needs to play under control.

im sure they did say that, but the overwhelming majority of players are who they are after a few years. Hoping for outlier development every single year is a bad idea. we can play that game, but Poole isnt gonna become a 2 way player. His ceiling is a 6th man like Lou Will or Jamal Crawford.

The Warriors will be fine........GS will trade Poole/picks for a quality role player/starter during the Summer (Gobert,Collins, KAT, Turner, etc...)....None of those players are perfect, but they are all better fits than Poole.

I honestly can’t believe the regression. I don’t think he’s as bad as he’s playing now but it’s something mental and he’s been sulking for a minute. But the defense is a real issue…he’s arguably the worst guard defender in the league outside of Trae.
