My Sports Tidbits

Just for the record, I see the Warriors trading Jordan Poole for "rocking chair" Chis Paul as an exit strategy from Poole's 4-year $128M contract. Why and What Strategy, is for the experts to debate. But expect the Warriors to trade Chris Paul, if they can.

    Dealt for Chris Paul mere hours before the draft, Jordan Poole heads to the Washington Wizards with everything working in his favor. His $128 million extension kicks in for the 2023-24 season, and he's about to take over as the undisputed top option on a Wizards team in the earliest stages of a rebuild.
    Numbers will come in bunches for the 24-year-old guard, and it wouldn't be a shock to see him average upward of 28.0 points per game next year. Wins won't be nearly as easy to come by with Washington as they were in Golden State, but Poole already has a ring. Now, he can set out to prove himself individually.
    Most importantly, Poole is now free of what seemed like an unsalvageable situation with the Warriors, where his receipt of a preseason punch from Draymond Green upended the team's interpersonal dynamics, cast a pall over the entire season and scuttled a title defense. Poole may become a true star with Washington, something that was never going to happen, post-punch, with the Dubs.
