Poole must be a real broad in the lockeroom!
I kind of figured that would happen.

Wizards best be getting good picks for taking on that contract. Wow.
I think they're still well over the cap.
Dubs gonna miss the regular-season production of Poole tbh. They're a 4-week Curry injury away from missing the postseason tbh.
of course you did, that's why you never mentioned it
for real
Trading for CP3 signals to me that they're going to give it another go with their core til the wheels fall off
GS keeping 19 is interesting. It suggests maybe that they aren't trying to win now. Or maybe they have a bigger deal lined up using 19?
I have no idea how Washington couldn't shake them down for that pick at least.
Astounding how GSW could slip out of that massive mistake.
I see what Golden State is thinking, that Chris Paul can lead the second team and have them maybe be at least a net neutral rather than a huge net negative, and getting rid of that Poole contract is a plus-- but I still don't think it works. I see pretty much the same scenario as this year, losing in the second round of the playoffs.
WAS’s off-season so far:
OUT
- Beal
- Goodwin
IN (Players)
- Poole
- Jones (expiring)
- Gallo (expiring)
- Shatmat
IN (picks)
- GSW FRP 2030
- GSW SRP 2027
- 4(?) PHX SRPs (tbd)
- 3(?) PHX FRP swaps (tbd)
Not bad so far tbh….
Poole wasn't helping them in the playoffs. Getting off his salary was the biggest thing. Not sure what happens with Paul on the roster, but they just saved huge headaches in future years for a distant FRP and a SRP, that's it.
Washington was going to need a tank commander and that's Poole. So that's pretty expected. I just didn't think they'd get nothing for taking him on.
It seems pretty poor to me. I get that Porzingis couldn't net them much because of the opt-in deadline. The PHX swaps are going to be useless. I think it's only two. So Washington vacated their good players and got Poole, Jones, a distant first and some SRPs. They can flip Jones at some point, maybe.
I think it's more a sign of how the big teams are completely out of draft capital at this point. Phoenix has nothing to give. Actually, GSW does... but Washington didn't push them for it. There can't have been a market for Poole at this point? Wizards seem allergic to pushing for picks.
They are $20M over the tax line and that's without Draymond!
I don't remember if the "twice above the second apron in four years" thing starts next season, but if it does that's already one strike against the Warriors if they don't dump salary. At least Paul's deal is a lot shorter than Poole's.
oh wow
GS owes their 2024 first to Memphis protected 1-4. I think the Stepien Rule prevented them from including tonight's #19 pick.
That's assuming the trade goes through right now. iirc if they wait until the actual draft they can trade #19 because the Stepien Rule window would scroll forward to 2024 and 2025 (GS has their own 2025 first).
Actually I don't know when the Rule moves forward. Is it when the draft starts? Was it midnight this morning?
The new guys in Washington are clearly inept. The Spurs should be on the phone with them for #8. They'd probably take a bag of magic beans and a protected second rounder in 2035 for it.
The Warriors won't have a penny of cap space until the current iteration implodes and ends. What they did was get below the second apron next summer, since they can waive CP0 at that time.
I hear you, but I’m also factoring in the stupid Beal NTC. I assume they get value for Jones. And there is a world where Poole can be a decent young piece. Not sure HOW much better they could have done given the self inflicted gunshoot wound.
So Washington gets more out of Phoenix than initially thought. I don't think the Suns have a single pick left at all going forward - other than swaps. The closer swaps will be in their favor. Who knows about later in the decade.
The Beal package is pretty much all they could get out of the Suns, so that seems alright - as you mention, the NTC. The Porzingis thing is weird, but they were against the clock so at least they got something. Maybe the CPaul thing will turn out better for them.
I'm just glad the Spurs moved Murray when teams were still throwing around first rounders.
Wow, the Bullets paid $125 million for a protected first
