Why the heck do the Wizards do this trade? 2030 pick is actually nothing and Poole contract sucks. Not as much as Beal's, but still

lol can you imagine CP3 and Draymond tag teaming yelling at the refs

Draymond is going to curb stomp someone and then CP3 is going to immediately point out that their jersey is untucked and need to step out of the game to fix it

Jordan Poole will be a great tank commander for the Wizards. If he can put up decent volume scoring numbers, his contract becomes pretty trade-able in a couple years too.

Pretty much ends all the Draymond speculation now. No way he doesn't come back to GS on a more team friendly deal now.

I'm pretty sure Middleton goes back to the Bucks on a slightly more team-friendly win-now deal too. Miami would be a great fit, but I don't think they have the money. Long shots if they want to overspend for a second-round level team: Portland and OKC.

It's more likely that Paul plays a lot with the 2nd unit. Kerr will almost certainly play some CP3/Steph/Klay lineups because he loves small ball though.

This is either gonna work out TERRIBLY or like one of those pro wrestling angles where the hated rivals team up and form an incredibly successful tag team. There is no in between.

My money is firmly on terribly, but gently caress it, let's get loving weird.

Seems like a bad trade for Golden State because of Paul's age/health but it will be fun to see him running the point with Curry and Klay cutting.

I suspect that it's more about getting rid of Poole than acquiring CP3. He's on an expiring contract.

I think that will work out well for GSW. It’s not like they need Paul’s playmaking, it’s going to be an incredible luxury.

When I was 17, my father was so stupid, I didn't want to be seen with him in public. When I was 24, I was amazed at how much the old man had learned in just 7 years.
There is not a lot of downside if Poole is who he was last year (I guess technically this year still) for the Warriors. The player he was the year before was very valuable but it’s rough to bet on returns like that and this is a way to save a lot of money for themselves next offseason if it doesn’t work out.

Uhhhh....yeah I sort of get what they were going for but why is Golden State including 2 picks here. Like CP3, at his age and health and contract is worth at most a 2nd. I'm not gonna miss Jordan Poole's lovely in-game choices or stupid loving face anymore though.

yeah the draft pick hurts a little but they clear a bad contract and get better for next season without seriously compromising their future. lotta teams in the same position give bad multi-year deals to aging and/or injury-prone guys in the name of giving their core another shot. it gives everyone nice, fuzzy feelings that they're going all in with their guys but the vast majority of the time it just means that the team has a couple years of futility before they can actually start their rebuild because they gave up all their picks and got a roster full of guys struggling to play 40 games.
