Everyone is focusing on what Poole was last season and with good reason. What's to say he doesn't turn into the player he was or a better player? A change of scenery can definitely help. I'm not trying to play contrarian either. Poole is 24 years old.

Wouldn’t shock me if Poole goes to DC and is balling just like Kuz did when he got there.

That $130 million is spread over 4 years and the cap is going to likely increase each year. It's really not as bad as it's made out to be.
:unimpressed:
The new CBA will restrict any team from being interested in taking on that contract if he doesn’t vastly improve

Shows how much I pay attention to GS. I thought they was mad at Dray and liked Poole. Boy, was I wrong:russ:

That got his ass all the way out the paint

What makes you believe that will happen besides changing a jersey?

Is Draymond going to be happy with CP3 dominating the ball constantly? That dude was mad when KD wouldnt pass him the ball.

Plus doesnt GS want to get the ball down the court and make a quick decision, pretty much the opposite of CP3.

Wondering if getting CP3 was an insurance policy in case Draymond walks.

This is somewhat true. I’m not sure that Poole was a “bad” pick, but Myers definitely gave him a bad contract.

But the fact that the warriors can never get a good return on the players they draft is VERY telling

Okay and if he doesn't they can just keep him and let him expire. It's not like the Wizards are currently tied up with a ton of salary now. They have to pay someone. Could they have done better, yeah. They also could have done worse.

What does Tyler Herro do better than Jordan Poole?

Nggas don’t understand man. Bucket getters run the league. It’s all perception. Jordan Poole is trash bc they have the highest standards there are, his OGs are a lil clique with 4 chips and they literally cussin him out for shootin

On the flip, Sacramento with no expectations so Malik monk is :banderas: Jordan Clarkson helps Utah outplay expectations :ahh: Tyler herro almost leads miami in scoring :ohlawd:

There is not much at all separating them. And Poole is actually bigger, craftier, and more capable of playing the 1

Poole is gonna average 25 a game next year

Nah, CP3's next year on his deal is not guaranteed in 2024/25. They'll probably resign Draymond to a 3 year deal to match Steph's FA, let CP3 walk after next year and I think they can't afford to keep Klay either(unless he takes a big paycut).
