The Golden State Warriors left a lot to be desired last year, but theyâre determined to come back stronger in the 2023-24 NBA season. Mike Dunleavy has made big changes, including trading Jordan Poole.
The young guard, who used to be seen as the potential heir apparent to Stephen Curry in the Bay area, was sent to the Washington Wizards in return for Chris Paul this offseason.
Needless to say, this means a big change in his career, having to leave a star-studded team for a franchise where he will have more responsibility for the collective success. Therefore, Andre Iguodala revealed what he told Poole recently.
