A team led by Jordan Poole isn't going to need any of those pick swaps tbh
They're thinking "We can cut Chris Paul next June, save that unguaranteed $30M for 2024-2025, and slip under the second tax apron". Not all NBA trades are for basketball related reasons.

true tbh. but i dont remember them being reported earlier
the Dubs will never be serious contenders until they get a real starting C who they can't sign since they are over the cap. They will have the same defensive issues they had last year. Their bench should be slightly better though.
Wow, this is pretty decent. At least two of the swaps could be good, and maybe even 2026. KD’s health is the question mark, but in any case dude is getting old. Oh, and that NTC travelled to PHX so good luck getting recovering your picks!
If I’m Booker, I’m probably already thinking about my next destination in 3 years.
Not just protected, but Top-20 protected… terrible deal for the Wizards.
They're done. Klay is washed and Draymond is Draymond. They still don’t have a Center, their young guys haven’t developed the way they thought they would, and they don’t have any cap flexibility to make big moves. Curry is still incredible, but turns 36 next season and can’t do it alone. Their run was epic, but it’s over.
Yikes, must convert to a few seconds or something.
They must really see Poole as part of the next great Wizards team (assuming they ever had one). Basically flipping Beal for Pool and picks.
More like their next great tank commander tbh. Poole will likely put up great scoring numbers due to being the only real offensive backcourt weapon Washington has now, which will inflate his stats and make him more desirable to other teams. They’ll prob trade him after a season or two for more draft capital.
Warrior fans are in shambles over this trade. „Light years ahead“![]()
Great, now we get to watch the national media have selective amnesia, pretend Paul didn't lose another step last season and that the Warriors big thee aren't just an (aging) big one and have this steal some of the Spurs spotlight because it involves their pets.
It'll be weird to see Paul come off the bench and the two best small guards ever playing together, but their best/closing five is too small.
the washington wizards franchise is just a money laundering organization
prove me wrong
Any truth to the rumors Washington is changing their name to the Generals?
Yeah, agreed-- getting off of Poole's contract is huge. But I imagine Dunleavy is also hoping to not think of Steph's year at 36 to be a sacrifice season.
The league is so flat -- err, has so much 'parity' -- that Denver just has to slip up and GS has a shot at the Finals. I don't see Phoenix putting it together and the rest is just mid. It's a junk heap right now.
I bet the ownership is in some huge dollar fantasy leagues and loaded up on shares of Poole a couple weeks ago.
Honestly Poole fits in with the legacy of tiny chuckers in Washington… Arenas, Wall, Beal, Poole. It’s a hall of fame of empty stats (I’m being harsh to Arenas here… but not by that much)
CP3 couldn’t be happier with his situation at the Warriors. He’d be playing limited minutes behind Curry reserving himself for the playoffs. He brings veteran leadership who can unleash Wiseman, Kuminga. Plus warriors dumps knucklehead Poole and his behemont salary
Wiseman is no longer with the Warriors haha
I knew that haha. Anyways, guys like Kuminga could really benefit from CP3
Feels like Dame is gonna hold free agency hostage.
Spurs were slightly interested in Jordan Poole:

San Antonio registered interest in Poole, league sources told Yahoo Sports, although the Spurs never made a significant offer.
