Willard and Dibs try to talk through the Golden State Warriors’ options this offseason. Is a trade of Jordan Poole the team’s only recourse this offseason? How else are they able to get their salary at a manageable level and there’s no way they actually move on from the Big Three, right?

Not the only solution, but one of them. Dubs lost 2 close games which were winnable.
Jordan Poole need to be traded. His attitude is horrible.
The question is, what CAUSED Draymond to punch Jordan Poole. Jordan Poole has had this cocky attitude all season, and that's all good, but the guy is 4th in the league in TURNOVERS. You hear Steph, Dray, and Klay all mention about playing better, while Jordan Poole took ZERO responsibilities all season, including the exit interview. THAT'S THE FUTURE OF THE FRANCHISE? No way. Trade Jordan Poole, put some veteran pieces around the Big Three and let them cook, and not waste time fixing Jordan Poole's little feelings.
Wiggins is the most important piece – we need his defense and versatility
No one stops to think about what JP said/did that caused Draymond’s reaction. They just dump on Dray bc that’s easy but we all have a breaking point, a line you shouldn’t cross and obviously JP crossed it. I’ve watched his immature, arrogant attitude for 2 seasons now and I’ve seen enough to know that it’s best for everyone if they trade JP to another team for a fresh start. Add a valuable big/center to the core 3 and let’s run this thing back 🙌🏼
I think it comes down to what Steph wants to do honestly. No one knows more than him what’s needed around him to win another ring. If Poole is a part of that, go meet with him, dray, klay and wiggs and hash it out for real. If he’s not, draw up a list of names that you think can get it done and give it to ownership. He’s got 3 years left, he should be the one with the biggest say on who he rides it out with. Personally, if you can get a deal done for Halliburton and turner, that’s a championship contender.
Jordan gotta go. Klay had a bad series, Nothing more. Remember Boston in the championship. Guess who had a bad series. Tatum. People panic way too much and too easily. Klay will be fine.
I’m just so disappointed in Poole and his attitude. I watched a video last night of his IG videos when he had dreads, right before he deleted his IG so that he could focus on his game…MUCH DIFFERENT dude…he was poised to work harder, it was just him, his cat, and his best friend…chilling in the crib peaceful having good vibes…he turned into a fckin celebrity after the title and I dislike that ! He was a good kid who trash talked within the game but his attitude was clean as a whistle. Drays punch didn’t turn him into an azz he became an azz before the punch by being disrespectful towards Kerr and acting brand new after getting paid , on top of that talking to Dray with no respect a guy that’s been holding the team down for 11 years I would of slumped his azz too man
Pool 2 picks for OG
What veteran help is going to change Wiggins not being consistent scoring, Klay showing up and hitting shots and playing defense as his defense was horrible. You can trade JP and Kuminga and that may be the right move but if you keep Klay and Wiggins then you still need a dependable scorer who can get his own shot to help steph. And you need some size. IMO everyone is available to be traded other than Steph and Looney. Because out of all of the players they have you know what you are getting with Steph and you know what you are going to get from Looney every night
So bringing in some more veteran help is going to help Klay make better shot selection? Going to keep Draymond from tanking a championship run with another timely emotional outburst?
Klay is the only player not worth his contract. I'd trade Klay first.
I am not going to stay up late at night to watch Poole get him out of here
Poole worked just last year, heck even though he wasn't efficient, he reduced his turnovers greatly in the later part of the season and post season, he works and he is the only one who seems to be able to give Steph any sort of rest without the team being unable to score, unless Klay is hot.
Poole needs to be looked at for a mid-season trade, not the off season.
Poole needs to be traded because he ain’t the dude to commit to being even an average defender- just not in his DNA.
Poole & Steph can’t be on the floor together- like Loon & Dray now. No NBA backcourts looking at Steph, Poole, Donta with no rim protector behind them.
The Warriors screwed the pooch when the punch happened. Get rid of Draymond. I like Draymond but he is not someone they need to win a Championship.
I think you all count out the rookie Warroirs have from this season.

when you trade wiseman. you told is the solution .is the same still lose warriors. the best way to back the warriors is trade draymondclay and poole. get some big good player like goaniis or rmbid thats it.get mikael bridges and help curry .
Wiggins is not going anywhere, he took a discount to help the team so you can eliminate that suggestion plus he is a vital piece of the team. Poole is who need to be traded if they are going to trade someone!
I’m a raptors fan, but love the warriors cause they play beautiful basketball.
You guys should be figuring out how to trade for og. He’s cheep next year. And you could sign him to an extension for more, hopefully the year clay and dray take a pay cut. Him dray and wiggins would be an amazing front court m. With looney to add extra size.
And the raptors been someone like poole next to Scottie.
I have no idea what Jordan will focus on for training and season, so will withhold judgment.
I think trading Poole is a losing trade because of what you have to pay to get rid of him.
I think Jordan had a lot going for him still. I need to see his defense through next year and whether he would learn to juke before shooting. He is blocked because teams know he's not gonna try to fake.
My if is straightforward mentioned in video Warriors can compete for title and make NBA finals if Warrrior's trade Dray for a new PF as it fixes the culture and no Lebron buddy buddy full blown savage when Lebron teams are seen. Big 3 now need to become Big 2 that's it the defense on this team is bad Dray can no longer fix that also dribble penetration is lacking from the 4 spot that's something Dray also can't do well anymore Trade Dray The Thompson(Klay) just needs to make small adjustments on defense and make your shots on offense down the stretch he can figure that out no problem.
