Is there a market for Jordan Poole or will he stay with the Wizards? | Numbers on the Board
You got drop the mic I do I do it has to deal with our guy uh in Washington he just came uh after all start Break Jordan pool has been coming off the bench and I’m just kind of curious this offseason they’re probably goingon to be obviously interested in trading him is
There any team out there any team out there willing to buy are you paying him $33 million next year thing that’s the thing he is a Washington Wizard for the foreseeable future yeah no team is taking that he’s he’s first of all he said he was upset about being moved to
The bench he was upset about being a bench player for the Golden State Warriors but there’s nothing that he’s done this season to warant him to start anymore so like I understand not enjoying the the the process of uh coming off the bench but like it’s not
Like you were averaging 30 in cultes like you know what you sit your ass down he hasn’t been good he’s been one of the worst in the league this is just a I really don’t even talk about Jordan p no more because this is sad it’s a lot of ping up why
Like we’ve seen players come back but it’s like he’s he’s falling into that hole and that contract is not helping him I am hoping and praying that he does come back the only reason I say it’s sad is because I feel like and I don’t even
Want to do this but I feel like he’s in the position he’s in because of the punch when they won that Championship That was supposed to be smooth sailing he got his money we go in we F to work some out that punch ruined the locker room and
Obviously got awkward and and you felt like you had to break it up they wasn’t going he wasn’t going to give up on Draymond you know what I’m saying he means too much to the team but it just made it feel like you had to trade Jordan p and unfortunately they trade
Him to like the worst place he could be in Jordan P needs something that where he has some structure and I was a I was a person that thought maybe he can go up maybe he would show us some things but he really needs that structure I I think
The clip that showed it all is when there was during that timeout late game and he’s like he’s not paying attention at all and didn’t know play and he’s like this my team type Stu that’s just can’t work for you no more you obviously it’s like you’re not at that type of
Level and at this point he losing value you know yeah I I just he was so good and so fun to watch in Golden State because we can see the spurts and the bad wasn’t so much glorified because they wouldn’t let it get that far because you had Steph clay Dre and and
Everything around him but in Washington where there is nothing and he has to play 35 minutes you have to we and we see it full boldness and I I’m just you kind of take you kind of don’t understand the value of the Warrior system and how they do things until you
See something like this but at the same time this dude had a very bright future and now now the conversation around his name is this now we’re in here talking about the bad um the turnovers every time I’m seeing them on my timeline I’m seeing a highlight it’s negative it is
And the fial percentage is like disgusting and and I was thinking that too he even got no damn 2K card like he only got a moments carard What’s his moment this year his biggest moment was was giving it to my Knicks in a preseason I think I think Wizards fans
Is happy when he has game over 20 uh he had but two 30o games this year he’s got three 30o games this year he probably had that with the War I was thinking when I first started watching Jordan pool when he was the Warriors it wasn’t
Even like the shot that really got me down you could talk about the bag but it was like his handles got him what he had 13 30o games last warri with the Warriors he had two 40 point games wow it wasn’t even the shooting that really
Got me in what Jordan p is it’s like the hand I like I really lik his handles I thought he had underrated handles for leag CU like with those you can get to place where you want to do you could break down the defense you could do more
Than just score the ball you can set up teammates and that’s going to add to your value and still it’s like he needs to have an out like a crazy scoring night for for us to be like man P had a pretty good game tonight and also he’s
When you look at him playing with the Warriors Steph always demands the best defender nightly Klay Thompson Demands a lot of respect it’s just it’s so much easier to get your off when you playing next to Steph Kay the best player yes it’s harder when the defense
Is like you’re like number one or number two on The Scouting Report now that is a fact but what I will say is even when he stepped in for Steph Curry he was doing his bro yeah he was Jordan p I I 22% of Jordan P’s shot attempts this
Season are considered open um and he’s shooting 29% on him so I want to compare that to him last year remember that number 29% of his shot or uh 22% of his shots he sh 29% on him yeah I’m going to go to his last year stats again playing
With the Golden State Warriors of course things are dramatic dramatically different as far as how you’re being guarded I’m going see where he was 22% somebody feel this oh okay last year 28% we’re open yeah and that’s that’s a pretty significant drop off um as far as
How open you are on a night in Night Out basis so I still believe in Jordan P’s ability to become a solid NBA player he has not been that this season but to get back to your original question about is a team going to take a chance I’m just
Going to say a hard no it’s 29 next season then 30 $31 million then $34 million so he’s under contract for three more seasons where you talk about $ million that’s usually allocated to your second to third best player he’s just not going to do that for most teams So
My answer to that would be if I if I was a betting or guessing man I would agree with KB but my my heart would hope so yeah you tell me that Jordan P could go and they wouldn’t do this because they got all of the young talent but if he
Was in a different situation and it wasn’t necessarily Washington but it was Utah I think we I think we see a different player would it be great would it be the allstar I think we see a different player I just think think Orlando could also be a team no no no
They have to pay Pao and France in the next coming Seasons if they’re going to use that they’re going to use it for a star yeah Allstar caliber player $30 million is just a lot of money for some guy taking chance UT ball contract hey stop Utah is
Not happening Utah is not happening they got K of sex UT George yeah it’s not happening I’m just saying the environment it’s going to be hard to find a market for Jordan p will hardy is really coaching his ass off it’s a free flowing offense you got a lot of
Movement you got guys who can pick and pop pick and roll you got floor spacers there’s some structure Washington they roll that ball out and they just go get it ain’t ain’t nothing thriving over there except like KY kman and he wanted to stay and Denny Denny’s doing but it’s
Just like other than that I saw Johnny Davis playing yesterday come on man he’s on the court that’s all I can really ask for at this point I did my I I I told the haulk series Johnny Davis is sitting in free agency I mean year two we done we went
Through the whole offseason nobody want him it’s tough that’s tough just sitting out there he I he had potential but it it was he still does he had a season high in minutes play last night at 21 minutes per game final stat line was uh two points a turnover seven rebounds uh
One for eight from the field and I saw one of his three-point attempts I don’t know what happened bro again I’m not a guy that watches college basketball but that jump shot from his his year at Wisconsin to now is how old is Johnny Davis 22 uh let me double
Check that but that sounds about right when you got when you got when you’re 22 you still have some type of potential but I he’s 21 he’ll be 22 in a couple days I’m I’m off I’m off of it completely once I seen his shot too I
Don’t know what happened um his shot was very Devon Booker esque at Wisconsin his play style was hard noosed Jimmy Butler Deon Booker body type but I’m off of it but he’s still young that’s the hope is that you’re still young uh I was concerned when he go down to the G
League and his stats still weren’t looking too great either that’s all I kind of need to see yeah because usually guys usually go to the G league and they just start dogging but yeah man that Jordan pool situation is just sad just just only because sometimes players they
Start to do their thing they start to feel their self and they going to get that bag and they want their own team and they leave that wasn’t necessarily the situation he got into a situation with a teammate it went too far and then the team struggled because of it because
They couldn’t get the the chemistry back on point which that team was built on chemistry and they were forced to really trade him and they traded him for pennies on a dollar really and they sent him to that trade looks amazing right now yeah it does now granted Chris Paul
Hasn’t played in three months at this point his contract is just get little more flexible with the contract money off but yeah man they sent him even if he didn’t even if that didn’t happen and they still eventually trade him they probably don’t trade him for just that
Low he probably go somewhere a little better than Washington I think he just needed something a little bit better than Washington man a little bit better than Washington

The NBA nerfed his handles last year, you could see the decline when they started calling t/o on him nearly every play some games
Poole's numbers this year are nearly identical to his career numbers. That champ run was a fluke. He's the same player he's always been.
It's so IRONIC that he turned out to be a very "expensive backpack." It makes you consider every word we deliver..
I hope Jordan Poole recovers and finds redemption. It would be sad to waste the potential and talent.
Who the f*** are these guys no of these mfs played in the NBA
Yea, Boston Market. That boy needa be bussin tables
In Thailand next year 😅
It ain’t the punch. It’s his attitude, his ego, his approach and preparation. He’s talented yes but he’s also very immature. And being in Washington doesn’t help at ALL. No vets, coaching staff clearly isn’t good, teammates aren’t holding each other accountable. It’s terrible
He'll eventually be a Piston, Hornet, or Clip.
Trade JP for a Party Bag of DORITOS
YES, market of one team – the Pistons 🤣🤣💀💀💀
Am I supposed to feel bad for this guy? His performance is his problem, his attitude is his problem. I think that the wizards should have some recourse to get back the money this guy is going to steal from them with the way he is playing. Poole has taken for granted the most privileged job in the world and deserves no sympathy or consolation. Play better.
So proud of u guys….
Poole’s spirit is broken
JP is coming back
Trade him to the kings
Call Sean Marks .He did wonders with Ben Simmons
aint he supposed to be the franchise of the team?💀
It's got nothing to with being Punched 😅 his ego his attitude…. A man punching me doesn't affect my handle my shot my game… His decision making and turnovers was a problem in GS which is why he was traded. The punch was his ego running his mouth.. his ego and attitude is his problem
on a good he will be playing limited minutes
And what's funny is Podz is starting rebounding, playing defense, etc. had he kept his ego under control he'd be starting next to Curry
Draymond punched the basketball IQ out this n****!!! 💯 💯 💯
Sup with these zesty dudes😭
Jordan poole got a raw deal cause of the draymond situation.. i hope he gets a real opportunity cause he has the potential to be a special player.. the wariors wouldn't have won that ring in 2022 had it not been for Jordan poole
Should have stayed in the bay area.
Yo these comments crazy lol
They don’t need him. The league is special . And he is taking his specialness for granted. But he is paid so he is the next. GILBERT ARENAS!!!
1:26 After the punch, the Warriors gave Poole his big contract.
That season, he scored a lot but his shooting % went down, and he often made bone-headed decisions late in games. With the new CBA punishing overspenders, his contract became even worse and CP3's 1-year expiring contract was too good of an offer to pass up.
Everyone wants to keep saying the "chemistry" was the problem but it was the bench and away games that were the Warriors problems that season. Not saying the chemistry was great but there were zero incidences between Draymond and Poole during the season after that punch.
Orlandooooo
Steph curry made Jordan Poole! That’s how great Steph is! Steph draws so much on the defensive end two players are always open. Without Steph, Jordan Poole is just a mid level player lol… the wizards got duped! 😂
Huh this on ESPN? Tf
We stuck wit dat Bamma
JP can comeback to the Warriors… the Santa Cruz Warriors and work on his defense and being a team player. 😅
Poole is gonna end up in Taiwan.
Spurs
Blame the attitude not the punch.
He just have a big head dnt let tht go over ya head ‼️💯n he's still a good player he gotta get his head in the game n gs is different they system the structure they have helped him n the standard they set for u in DC its nothing but Kuzma ppl worry bout
Not as a starter, no. The best he can hope for is to be a Jamal Crawford type off the bench
Giving JP a pass because of the punch is the most tired excuse at this point. The guy's motivation is tied to showing off. He had it pretty good in Golden State and caused his share of problems so he has to take some blame. Where you are in life is an accumulation of all the decisions you make every day. Jordan seemed to care way more before he got that contract. Despite that I think people on social media need to keep non constructive, hurtful opinions quiet.
There probably is a very good reason that mf got punched… you can't use that as an excuse for everything.
Yall niggas on espn now!? Congrats
Flea market
Despite CP3’s massive decline in productivity and his usually spotty health, he’s still better than Poole in so many ways: he’s a good playmaker who doesn’t need the spotlight; he accepted a bench role while Poole whinged at that possibility; he also helped the rookies to grow as players.
Now we have a rookie in Podziemski taking Klay’s starting spot, but he never bragged about the job. Despite having a similar build, Podz also averages way more rebounds, is a better passer, and leads the league in charges drawn frequency. So much of Poole’s trouble did not come from his skills, but the fact that he can’t play the right way
this year just shows he’s not a star, not a starter, he’s a solid lou williams come off the bench spark plug type player. that’s it
His attitude shows why he got punched
Jp is playing basket ball by relying in his trick. Since lakers postseason i can say he used all his tricks, people more patience stay in front of him rather than trying to steal or block. People must remember that opponent will scout him and expose all his trick, and without consistent shooting, he will in deeper hole
This is why im always cautious to say any 2 or 3 option on a good team is better than a 1 option in a bad one. Big difference when you're the whole of the defensive attention.
When will the "analysts" just simply admit that Poole is a bad player?
