Poole will rise as tank commander since we needed to meet minimum salary. I bet he'll average close to 30 the next few years and some team will sign him in 2027 to a $250M contract

Haven't watched the NBA in general for awhile - is Poole an 'empty calories' scorer?
He was considered to be a future superstar as recently as the 2021-22 season. Last season was tough for him but I wonder about team chemistry and how he felt in the locker room after Draymond punched him.

If you’d have told me at the deadline there was a proposal of Poole for Beal straight up I would have said the Warriors laugh and hang up. Beal is not $20M better than him and Poole is six years younger to boot.

I was stuck in DC traffic listening to 980 when the trade broke they seem pretty excited for the young kids and cap. Space

Does Kuz stay around now?.

From a Bay Area guy, the simple answer is …

“YES”.

He can’t play D, he doesn’t pass, he doesn’t buy into the team concept, he just shoots a lot. And can get really hot.

Your basic “ME” player.

The talk out here was Draymond would NOT re-sign unless Poole was gone.

So here we are.

Oh, well, see above.

Just my 2 cents as being surrounded by “Warrior” fan all day long.
 
Talk is we are going to let Poole pad his stats and then flip him for more futures.

Those 2028 2030 pick swaps are nice. in 5 years KD is 40, Beal 35. and they have no draft picks untill 2030.

The Wiz could just be entering their new window in 5 years and then getting Phoenix lottery picks. Reminds me of what Boston did to the nets with the KG trade.

Can confirm. Let him go nuts and shoot his heart out in DC as Grand Admiral Tank.
 
Perhaps the trade from Camelot (Warriors) to a gulag (Bullets) will wake his ass up.

That and his 35m a year
Yea, I mean he was def good on the ‘22 Title team. That’s the budding star version that Abro is thinking of.

But Wiggins overtook him as a core guy going forward, and then that crap with Draymond sunk him out here. He could still wind up as a good player with a change of scenery. Hopefully at least enough for the Bullets to re-hab his image and flip him.
 
bit of concern that LSU is ruining that guy's arm but Skenes is pretty talented
That last high pitch count he was on 7 days rest not sure what it was before this game. One thing about Skenes he's throwing 100 mph and it look easy.
