I hope one day we get the story of how that call between Steph and CP went when the trade went though
Washington and Golden State are close on a trade sending Chris Paul to the Warriors for Jordan Poole, sources tell @TheAthletic @Stadium
- Thread starter Morethan1
- Start date
Chris Paul is one the few players I genuinely dislike. I wanted him to retire ringless and go off into obscurity ungraciously. The problem is I wanted Steph to get another ring but now if Steph wins, Paul wins.

a lot of the negativity stems from the fact that they salary dumped poole to get CP0. it's a bad trade. If they could get CP0 another way, outside of giving up draft capital, i'd be fine But this trade stinks for GSW

Send it to the friggin moon idiot
Jordan Poole won a ring, got a bag, and can now average 30 on 40 shots and make an all star team.

Let’s look at it this way. Two years ago you were willing to salary dump Wiggins while attaching picks. That type of trade is more appropriate for Poole than Wiggins.

I won’t form an opinion on what CP3 has left in the tank until the season starts. I don’t want to believe that he is completely washed.
if all you can get in a trade for a young 20ppg scorer is a 38 year old over the hill role player, then:
1. the young player shouldn't have been paid such a large contract
OR
2. the FO should have been much better in negotiating/evaluating talent
OR
3. Both options 1 and 2
the way the warriors FO compounds bad decision on bad decision is incredible. CP0 isnt bad per se, but for what you gave up, the return is abysmal

All I know is that whenever Poole entered the game during the lakers series this post season, I knew that the team was about to lose momentum
That 20 points per game is cool in the regular season but he was putting up like 7 points with no defense in the playoffs.
this is very true. but im sure the FO was so bad at negotiating that they couldn't find a better dealAll I know is that whenever Poole entered the game during the lakers series this post season, I knew that the team was about to lose momentum

EDIT: so apparently in addition to the draft capital they gave up, they also gave up PBJ. So Poole, PBJ, a protected 1st and a second round pick for ONE 38 year old chris paul
I dont really care about PBJ, it's just hilarious what we had to give up for one player who is close to 40 years old than 30
The Poole trade makes the Wiseman over LaMelo draft look even worse because the one argument people had for that was if they drafted LaMelo then Poole wouldn't have developed the way he did
I may have even said that goofy shyt at one point

Is this good or bad for the warriors?
