  1. Poole is a tough situation. If you move him, he alone is not going to be enough to get someone who can help win a championship. They may have to pair him with Kuminga. That's the best package. Now, the other thing with Poole is yes, his season was not like last year, and he was terrible in the playoffs, but he still averaged 20ppg in the regular and when Steph was out, his production jumped to 26ppg with 5 assists. That is not bad by anybody's standards. Dude who doesn't want Poole at Orlando, are your current guards scoring at that level? No, they're not. So, if they trade Poole and Kuminga they absolutely better make sure they get people who can help win a chip. Nothing less! Jordan Poole is just 23 years old and is still developing. NBA players don't reach their prime until age 27, so he may figure out what he was doing wrong and get better! Remember, he's the gym rat whose a hard worker. The last thing Lacob or the Warriors fanbase wants is for us not to win a chip in the few years Steph has left, but look over and see Jordan and Jonathan on another team lighting the NBA world on fire.

  2. What the new GM needs to do is figure out what player currently on another team can make the Warriors a better team. And then put together a trade for that player.

    I think they need an athletic, two way big who is in his mid 20s.

    Everyone on the Warriors should be tradeable (except Steph). If the best player to trade is Poole so be it. But there are also 15+ other Warriors who could be traded.

  3. The Poole signing was probably Bob's worst move. There was no need to sugn him, but they wanted to pump his ego back up. Kinda screwed the team.

  4. The real situation is there in front of everybody. Myers just made it clearer. Its time for a rebuild. Klay will have a paycut nxt yr. Wiggs already did. We also need to move on from Draymond. He forced KD out, punch JP, kick Sabonis, technicals, suspension and what not, he needs to go. I dont believe he is the key, Steph is the key, not Draymond. Green can only pass because nobody is guarding him in the perimeter. He cant shoot! He talks a lot too, but cant score on the court. He will give you like 12 points in one of 10 games, but lots of turnovers as well. Kerr style has gone old as well. If you are watching the finals, you will see how much simplier to pass the ball. You dont need like 8 pick and 12 pass just to locate an open team mate. Denver can execute on single pick and one or two passes. Almost no turnovers that's efficiency. That's passing. Draymond is just stagnant, forcing the shooters to move move and move, which is why we got lots of illegal screen. This style is no longer working, and we are too small. We can be better than Denver if we have the right players and a new coach.

  5. This show is just a waist of time. Poole is the 4th or 5th best player? Get out of here. We not in playoff this year without him and he ran the offense without Steph with a winning record. These people have no idea how important he is to this team. 😅
