Giving me the opportunity to be me essentially you know play freely I’ve always played the right way it was never like a me me me type of play style it’s um it’s such a long time also like it’s a two-minute timeout coaches probably only talking for 35 seconds or so in

2022 Jordan pool officially made it to the top the two guard known for his scoring gave the Golden State Warriors much needed offense off of the bench on their way to winning the NBA Finals it was a celebratory moment not not just for Jordan pool but also the Golden

State Warriors who had successfully extended their modern Dynasty by leveraging two timelines of Youth and experience but even after rewarding him with a huge new contract one punch had changed the trajectory of Golden State season and Jordan pool’s career Jordan paol had a big year scoring but the

Golden State Warriors still decided to move on even before his new contract kicked in a fresh start in Washington could have been what Jordan pool needed to forge his own identity without letting one low moment Define him instead his negative Tendencies have only been Amplified as he toils in the

State Warriors drafted Jordan pool out of Michigan with the 28th overall pick in the 2019 NBA draft pool was entering an organization dealing with dramatic change the team had just lost two of their best players to devastating injuries during the 2019 NBA Finals loss to the Toronto Raptors Kevin Durant went

Down with an Achilles injury in game five while Klay Thompson Tores ACL in game six on top of that Durant would end up leaving the bay for Brooklyn while Klay Thompson was lost for the 2019 to 2020 season and eventually it would be the 2020 to 2021 season as well as as a

Result the Warriors ended up giving P an unusually long look during a Lost season Steph Curry only played in five games after injuring his hand early in the season and the Warriors finished with the League’s worst record P got plenty of run as a rookie flashing his scoring

Ability with steady playing time Al by very inefficiently with Steph Curry back in the mix in his second season Jordan P’s playing time dipped a bit but his scoring in efficiency improved noticeably 11 games in the G League gave Golden State a peak and what he could

Look like in a higher volume role after missing the playoffs and back-to-back Seasons following five straight trips to the NBA finals the warriors were counting on Jordan P to assume a bigger role in his third season he played in all but six games while starting for most of the Season Golden State’s most

Common starting lineup That season featured him next to Steph Curry in the back court alongside Draymond Green Andrew Wiggins and cavon Looney in the front court that lineup went 22 and5 as the Warriors raced out to a fast start Golden State improved to 30 and 9 on

January 9th 2022 the night that Klay Thompson made his long awaited return to the court but that required Jordan P to come off the bench and as the season played out it became clear how this affected his performance pool averaged almost 21 points per game as a starter

That season but his scoring plummeted to under 14 points per game off of the bench while nearly all of his other stats decreased as well meanwhile after a strong first half golden state struggled to acclimate Klay Thompson to the starting lineup as their record flattened but but golden state

Recognized that Jordan pool still played an important role and reinserted him into the starting lineup towards the end of the season alongside Steph Curry and Klay Thompson he ended up edging Curry to lead the league in free throw percentage while having a breakout third season averaging over 18 points and four

Assists the Warriors went through some losing streaks down the stretch but still entered the playoffs as the West preed he started during their first round series and had big games early as the Warriors easily took down the short-handed nuggets in five games after that series he came off of the bench for

The rest of the playoffs but still had big performances including Games 1 and three against Memphis and scored in double digits in every game of the Western Conference finals against Dallas in the NBA finals against Boston Jordan pool hit 5 threes in a huge game two Victory while hitting multiple threes

And scoring in double digits in each of the series final three games as the Warriors claimed their fourth title in eight seasons P averaged 17 points while nearly shooting 5040 and 0 during the playoffs he knew that winning a championship after having the season he

Had at just 22 years old would lead to a massive playday as he excitedly expressed with Andrew Wiggins during their locker room celebration hey you about to get a bag you about to get a bag we about to get a bag we about to get a bag while that exchange foreshadowed a new

Contract nobody could have predicted what would happen in the days leading up to it Jordon pool’s Dream Season very quickly turned into into a nightmare Championship hangover in early October 2022 when the athletic dropped a bombshell report that discussed a physical altercation at practice between Jordan pool and Draymond Green the very

Next day TMZ released a video that showed Dron green punching Jordan pool less than 2 weeks later the Golden State Warriors signed Jordan pool to a 4-year $40 million contract extension while the team was still dealing with the aftermath of the punch that incident largely defined their season and set off

A long year of beef between Jordan p and Draymond Green which we’ve covered extensively in previous videos Jordan pool was shuttled back and forth between the starting lineup and bench for much of the season starting in about half of Golden State’s games even when he played well head coach Steve Kerr wouldn’t

Commit to him as a permanent starter refusing to start him over Klay Thompson in late December during a blowout loss to Brooklyn Nets fans chanted something insane while Jordan P was at the free throw line line in January Jordan P took an ill-advised three in crunch time against

Memphis that upset the normally calm Steph Curry so much that he threw his mouthpiece and got ejected in a March game against the OKC Thunder Jordan P didn’t pass to a cutting Draymond Green causing him to blatantly give up on the Play Still P had some big moments

Including a career-high 43 points in a win versus Toronto and averaged a career best 20.4 points and 4.5 assists per game while playing in all 82 games yeah his shooting efficiency dipped a little bit with higher volume but by all accounts he had a career year despite all that surrounded him during the

Season but in the playoffs Jordan pool’s up and down Play Lost the ups and kept the Downs he averaged just 10.3 points with shooting numbers that look nothing like his regular season stats the Warriors escaped Sacramento in a seven-game first round series but they couldn’t hang with the Lakers in the

Next round pool’s playoffs could be best summed up by his decision in game one to fire away from 30 ft with the game in the balance as the Lakers won the game and eventually the series it didn’t take long for the Warriors to cut bait before free agency began Mike dun leevy

Committed to Jordan P by saying this especially with his contract extension uh we plan to have him here for four more years at least but very shortly after Golden State would trade Jordan pool to the Washington Wizards in exchange for Chris Paul who had just has been acquired to make salaries match in

The Bradley Beal trade as well as future first and second round picks it’s usually a red flag when a team gives a young player a massive extension trades that player before the extension kicks in Washington may have considered that before the move but when you consider the fact that Washington really had

Nothing to lose by making this move it was kind of a no-brainer the Wizards were focused on accumulating draft picks and assets and they finally embraced a long avoided proper rebuild why not take a chance on a 24-year-old who has had shown legit scoring ability and has

Proved it in the playoffs on a championship team plus Jordan pool could get all the shot attempts he could ever dream of now that he was out of Golden State as he talked about during his introductory press conference P was nearly salivating at the chance to run

His own team as a shooter in this new role um how green is your green light like Ultra as green as DC as green is DC I like it I like it um coaches have you know given me the opportunity to be me essentially you know play freely and I

Think that’ll just be really exciting just because um I’ve always played the right way it was never like a me me me type of play stylist um whatever is the next right play if somebody’s open cuz I was able to draw to I’ll get off the

Ball know you want to see other players succeed cuz you need everybody on your team in order to be successful but um just being able to go um and play my game be free um be able to call players be able to manipulate the game a little bit more just be more handson

Um it’ll it’ll be exciting this could have been Jordan pool’s chance to actualize some of his early All-Star potential as a building block for a young asset Laden team instead p and the Wizards have been embarrassingly terrible owning the League’s thirdd worst record we already covered many of his inseason Shenanigans including not

Paying attention during a timeout and then not holding himself accountable for not paying attention during the time out yeah I saw it and I was looking like how is somebody supposed to give that commentary from the middle of the stands I mean I obviously I can’t do

Anything about it um sometimes I sit down sometimes I don’t coaches go they do their huddle earlier on kind of figure out what they want to do um it’s such a long time also like it’s a two-minute timeout coach is probably only talking for 35 seconds or

So I mean but I saw the play I was loing on the play I went back just to ask the question just to make sure um just continue to be vocal communicate with my teammates um it’s a very normal timeout honestly it wasn’t anything that was different but then there was this

Embarrassing layup attempt that got swatted by a rookie his horrible shock clock blunder and the fact that Washington now views him more as a trade chip as opposed to a franchise player but that was a few months ago and since then it’s only gotten worse Jordan pool somehow is averaging fewer shots than

Last year but his efficiency from the field has plummeted he owns the second worst effective field goal percentage in the league the second worst win shares the second worst offensive and defensive box plus minus and the third worst overall box plus minus he’s provided a series of more embarrassing sequences

Like these possessions against the Knicks during an especially terrible five-game stretch that helped Jordan P into his own Echelon as he owns the League’s worst plus minus by a significant margin with only his teammate Kyle kozma in the same Stratosphere in addition to being just flat out bad Jordan PA also recently

Posted this odd captionless Instagram post of him playing against the Golden State Warriors despite the fact that Washington played them more than 2 weeks prior and then there’s his contract which already looks like one of the League’s worst after earning a little over 10 million over the course of Four

Seasons in Golden State he’s making $27 million in this season alone that number increases to 29.6 31.8 and $34 million during each of the next three seasons making it even more difficult to trade him even with the NBA salary cap expected to increase that’s a radioactive contract considering the

Player on that deal giveing an idea of how terrible this contract is Jaylen Brunson is currently on a 4-year $14 million contract he was signed to this contract a few months before Jordan P was signed to his contract which I guess is more of a testament to the greatness

Of Leon Rose who has been absolutely on fire lately with the decisions he’s been making and let us know if you’d like us to make a video on the rise of the New York Knicks next I have to understand when the Warriors gave P this contract

They thought he had the potential to be an All-Star some believe that pool could be an All-Star as soon as this season but that is not what the Wizards have gotten from their highest paid player right now it looks like the best way for Washington to get out of this deal is to

Let it ride as they tank during the season while hoping and praying that someone bites into the off season with 3 years left there have been irrational confidence players in the NBA before guys who think that they’re the man who can carry offenses for stretches but also make ill-advised decisions because

They think they’re way better than they are players like J.R Smith or Dion Waiters are prime examples but none of them have carried a contract like the one p currently burdens the Wizards with Jordan p is a talented player but he hasn’t shown himself to be a good player

Even with the red carpet rolled out for him in Washington the Wizards are not competing for a championship this season but this is still an important season for their rebuild if P were to turn into an All-Star he’s young enough that they could build around him or trade him

Instead he’s gone in the opposite direction and now they’re stuck with an irrationally confident player on a bloated contract who may have already seen his best years come and go let me know in the comment section down below how did the Washington Wizards handle this Jordan pool problem how much of

This is Jordan pool’s fault as opposed to him just being a victim of a bad situation in Golden State aside from that I’m your boy Mike and I’m dropping her mic until our next upload
