From The Valley to the Silicon Valley 🤙🏼
Wizards will be some shit again. They need to sell or have it taken from them for not being competitive. They should have trade the hold startiing five for 1st or 2nd round picks and wave everybody else. All those shooters in various non-nba leagues and first yr baller available. They aren't trying to be competitive. Ricky Council better then everything they have. Didn't pick him and was available.
CP3 may finally get that ring he deserves
Guess the Warriors don’t want any more championships.
Unfortunately, this is a sad dramatization of "sow the wind, reap the whirlwind". To wit, Steve Kerr and and the Warriors leadership woefully failed to act decisively when Draymond Green clearly and flagrantly assaulted a team-mate in broad daylight – and for that they reaped the slow whirlwind (on top of not winning the championship they could have contended for in 2023.)
THE BOTTOM LINE is that the foibles of Draymond Green, through the seasons, have been tolerated by the Warriors way more than Poole's in the post season and the end result of all of of that has been predictably deplorable on a human, if not professional level.
The Warriors can keep that under-socialized galoot till the cows come home as long as they realize that he gives just about as much as he takes from the team that Mark Jackson, Curry and Klay built. (Yes, arguably costing the team about two championships IS A FRIGGIN' BIG DEAL! And Kerr (if he is frankly honest with himself) couldn't deny that carte blanche!)
If I sound angry with Kerr, it's because I am. As much of a good man as I think he is and as much of a builder-architect he became (post Mark Jackson) – I think he and the entire Warriors management showed themselves up as a terminally weak bunch when they did little after Draymond Green tried to knock off a team-mate's head in broad daylight.
But for me the clincher (and mother of all unforced errors) was when Steve Kerr decided that it was wise and proper to show up for Draymond Green's recent podcast to discuss things sundry and singular as well as and past and present. Beyond raising eyebrows, I thought that appearance was clearly muddying the waters at a time when both Draymond's agency, and the under-performance of Jordan Poole were hot topics. The appearance was clearly ill-advised, if not technically a two-way conflict of interest) in a milieu where Warrior others like Jordan Poole, had no equal or competing platforms. Corleone, Gangster.
Jordan Poole had to go . His Ego was so Swollen . He was Trying to Copy Curry too much and be the Number One option out of Rank .He was robbing Curry and Klay out of Shots too , which Curry was Visibly pissed about in many Games last Season .
I could actually see CP3 Playing well as a 6th Man for the Warriors next Season as that Andre Iguadala Role .Taking that Dante Divincenzo Role really . Not to mention the Warriors could keep CP3 away from other Championship Contenders that need him more .
I like this for Jordan Poole he is definitely going to be able to shine now!
warriors wild for moving poole
Wizards are now stacked with young talent!
Alright, welcome CP3 to the Bay area.
It’s bad I am not happy
What wrong With you guys Jordan pool I don’t think warriors they waited this season I don’t think so Jordan Poole is better
If draymond green did not punch this man he Would have played at a high level and what was his regular season numbers, and You know how hard it is to play at your best when you had a place You don't even want to be, The spirit in the building change, This film with dream on green trying to help him in the playoffs and talk to him. I don't want to listen to you😅. So of course you're not gonna look like himself when it really mattered but during the regular season I believe that man was killing
Tragic! CP3??? Tragic…
GSW made the worst judgement.
They need size, young good bigman,
If GSW make a big deal with Dray, I will quit being a long time fan of them,
That line up kinda scary cause now steph gets to spot up at the hash and let cp3 run pg.
Cp3
Steph
Klay
Wiggins
Draymond 🔥
Golden State should have contacted Washington about trading Jordan Poole and assets for Kristaps Porzingis. Porzingis would have provided the size, frontcourt scoring, rim protection and positional versatility Golden State needs. And like Chris Paul, Porzingis is in the final year of his contract (and with a bigger salary slot, to boot). Not to mention Porzingis is a decade younger than Paul.
I honestly don't see what Paul adds to the Warriors. He's 38, injury-prone and provides no positional value. Paul's greatest strengths (leadership, controlling the game tempo, ball distribution) have no value to a team that already had those things in excess. Not to mentions Paul's playing style is practically the opposite of how Golden State plays.
As for people saying "Stephen Curry needs a backup point guard," the Warriors could get one in free agency for a lot less than what Paul makes (see Dennis Schroder, or re-sign Ty Jerome). It also feels like a troll trade, either to keep Paul from going to one of the Los Angeles teams or to humiliate Paul.
GS just got worse!
A bunch of small old guys.
Poole will look great on a sh!tty team.
I don’t understand how this makes the warriors better can someone enlighten me please
(1) CP and baby-faced asssasin are bitter rivals who hate each other. (2) Basketball-wise, this FIT makes no sense. CP doesn't play fast non-stop ball movement. The ONLY reason why GS did this was to KEEP Paul Away From The LAKERS. I hope it blows up in their faces
Jordan Poole last season: GP 82, Min 30.0, Pts 20.4, Ast 4.5, Reb 2.7 FG% 43.0 Age 24 years
Chriss Paul last season : GP 59, Min 32.0 Pts, 13.9, Ast 8.9, Reb 4.3 FG% 44.0 Age 38 years
and they give up 2 first-round picks. makes no sense and I don't understand why people love this so much
That’s crazy lol this is a great trade for the Wizards Dubs taking the L
