Washington and Golden State are close on a trade sending Chris Paul to the Warriors for Jordan Poole, sources tell @TheAthletic @Stadium

[Squirrel from Meteor Man]

Golden State: “Hey we need a big man. What about Kristaps Porzingis?”

Wizards: “How about a 6-foot 38 year old?”

Golden State: “Deal!”

 

[HoldThisL]

nikkas crazy if they think CP3 starting, or maybe Kerr is crazy.

 

[Dr. Narcisse]

Warriors playing keep away from the Lakers

I imagine Washington would have waived him and Lakers would have signed him for pennies

 

[Crude]

Are you confusing poole for another player? He barely played 2-3 years ago

Poole was a solid bench player during their title run last year and the year before.

Dude is a 18-20 ppg player as the third or fourth option on that Warriors team. He was obviously frazzled and psychologically bothered this year but Poole is like 24 years old with plenty of upside.

He’s not a guy you build around but he’s a very nice complimentary piece.

 

[firemanBk]

You think a “nucleus” built around Jordan Poole and his 130 million dollar contract is a “good thing” Did you not watch him at all last year?


What makes you believe this will happen?

What is this based on? His own team that drafted him just salary dumped him for a 38 year old …if he continues to regress why the hell would another team “give up something nice” for that?

Yeah I guess the name involved is getting people excited.. it Poole has a lot to bounce back from to prove worthy of that money or any prospects of him being nothing close to a franchise cornerstone

Yo they dumped the worst contract in the league just to trade for the second worst contract in the league less than a week later picking up dreadful draft assets and people wanna spin this as a win

 

[Kiyoshi-Dono]

It’s over
Steph it’s time to leave
Pencil neck dweebs ain’t serious
Worst front office ever

 

[Joe Sixpack]

nikkas crazy if they think CP3 starting, or maybe Kerr is crazy.

He’s a backup now it’s obvious..

He’s 38 and always hurt this is how it ends

 

[tremonthustler1]

is CP3 really staying a warrior though?

there's no way he's starting so is he content backing up Steph? that's a shot to the ego

Sure.

And we already know Draymond wants no smoke with CP3, not if Draymond wants more children.

 

[Jplaya2023]

Wiz going to the playoffs now.

The midseason playoffs

 

[Left.A1]

They're not planning on being good any time soon. What exactly do you expect them to do with said cap space?

Not be idiotic and blow it… is that too crazy of an ask from a “wizard” front office





But like I asked you tho do YOU think spending 130 million on Jordan Poole is a good use of cap space?

 

[Regular_P]

The midseason playoffs

Didn't say which ones.

 

[RubioTheCruel]

Because these are the only moves they're gonna make. They don't have time to make more moves and acquire picks. It's all about what they do now.

I understand these nikkas can't see the forest through the trees. It's like folk don't understand that a new CBA was just signed and doesn't even go into effect yet - when it does there will be contracts that teams simply cannot have on their books. Who will be there to absorb those deals? How much will it cost to get those contracts off your books in terms of draft capital?

This guy Winger's only been on the job for 3 weeks and I think he's given the Wizards more hope than they've had the past decade

Yall was clowin Washington last night

Dont see it possible building a team around a $30 million 6th man but show me

 

[Sunalmighty]

Draymond cost that team 2 rings.

fixed.
