<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/jordan-poole" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Jordan Poole</a> and <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/draymond-green" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Draymond Green</a> don’t get along, and it’s pretty obvious by now. Recently, the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/golden-state-warriors" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Golden State Warriors</a> star shed some light on what went down with him and his former teammate last offseason.



“I don’t just hit people. Dialogue, of course, happens over time. And you usually aren’t just triggered by something that fast to that degree. This is a team, nobody on my team is triggering me in an instant. We know stuff that you don’t say amongst men, we know things that you have to stand on,” Green said on Patrick Beverley’s podcast.



Notably, it seems like those comments didn’t sit well with the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/washington-wizards" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Washington Wizards’ </a>star old man, as he took to Twitter to rip Green’s behavior, going as far as to say that he avoided him for a full year.



<h2>Draymond Green Gets In Back-And-Forth With Jordan Poole’s Father</h2>



“I’m stand on this that’s is some bs. Jp was his guy and he avoid me all last yr. He is a soft as b—- and I’m standing on this and he didn’t apologize to me and my wife. So he lame and me and him can meet anytime he want,“ Poole’s father tweeted.



As one would expect, it didn’t take long before that tweet found the four-time NBA champion’s way, and he fired back at the Poole patriarch with some threatening words.



“That’s so cute… it’s impossible to avoid you an arena for a year champ. I got get my family from that family room every game. And stop using those words, they usually don’t go over well amongst men,” Green replied.

This feud won’t go away any time soon, and it’ll be more than interesting to see how these two players handle themselves when the Warriors and the Wizards square off next season.

The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/golden-state-warriors">Golden State Warriors</a>, who were defending champions at the time, experienced an unexpected end to their season when they were eliminated in the Western Conference Semifinals by the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/los-angeles-lakers">Los Angeles Lakers</a>. This premature exit from the playoffs may have been influenced by a lack of team chemistry, possibly due to a strange event that occurred during the offseason.



Despite the season had not even started, an internal issue emerged within the locker room. The leaked video of <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/draymond-green">Draymond Green</a> punching teammate Jordan Poole definitely had a significant impact on the dynamic. Injuries played a role in the struggles they had, but there is no denying that something felt odd last season.


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20230710#BUS#26518"></div>


Poole is no longer in the team following the trade that sent him to the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/washington-wizards">Washington Wizards</a> in exchange for the experienced point guard <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/chris-paul">Chris Paul</a>. There is still a ton of uncertainty around what prompted Green to punch Poole the way he did, albeit he now provided an insight of how he got to the point of having a violent reaction.



<h2>Warriors’ Draymond Green on the Jordan Poole incident</h2>



The incident between Green and Poole not only caused a physical altercation but also strained the team’s cohesion and camaraderie. The repercussions of this altercation reverberated throughout the season. It was a critical event that significantly disrupted the team’s chemistry, and its consequences could be felt on and off the court.



“I don’t just hit people. Dialogue of course happens over time, and you usually ain’t just triggered by something that fast, to that degree. This is a team, ain’t nobody on my team triggering me in an instant. We know stuff that you don’t say amongst men. We know things that you have to stand on”, Green said on the podcast hosted by Patrick Beverley.

Warriors’ Draymond Green offers intriguing insight on why he punched Jordan Poole - Bolavip US

Not so long ago, the<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/golden-state-warriors" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> Golden State Warriors</a> had made it clear that they thought <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/jordan-poole" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Jordan Poole</a> was going to be the next big thing in the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/nba" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NBA</a>. Even though he was statistically the worst player in the league in his rookie season, they stood by him and developed him.



Poole broke out after a stint in the G-League and proved to be better than originally expected, earning himself a spot in the rotation and a big payday with a huge contract extension.



However, team insider Jason Dumas reports that all the money may have gotten to Poole’s head, as he demanded to be treated like <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/stephen-curry" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Stephen Curry</a>, Klay Thompson, and Draymond Green. Notably, he had to earn his stripes first.



<h2>Jordan Poole Wanted Superstar Treatment From The Warriors</h2>



“The punch [by Draymond Green] was kind of like the cherry on top, but there was some festering way before that during the season that had nothing to do with the punch,” Dumas said on The Morning Roast. 



“He just wanted more playing time. He wanted to start, he wanted a role,” Dumas added. “Whether you think this is fair or not, he wanted to get treated like Steph (Curry), Klay (Thompson), and Dray (Draymond Green), and he noticed that, in his opinion, wasn’t equal treatment; (he) didn’t appreciate it.”




<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20230710#BUS#26518"></div>






The Warriors wanted Poole to embrace a bigger role and eventually become the face of the franchise, but his attitude didn’t help. Now, he’ll have to forge his own path somewhere else.

The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/golden-state-warriors">Golden State Warriors</a> initially thought <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/jordan-poole" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Jordan Poole</a> could be <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/stephen-curry" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Stephen Curry’s</a> heir and successor. But it didn’t take long before they realized that signing him to a contract extension had been a mistake.



Reports state that all the money got to his head, and he started handling himself a little differently. He refused to be held accountable, took public shots at his coach, and even snubbed his veterans when they reached out to him.



Of course, one may think that it was his altercation with <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/draymond-green" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Draymond Green</a> that led to this. However, a report by Jason Dumas states that it was actually Steve Kerr the one who wanted him out.



<h2>Steve Kerr Wanted The Warriors To Trade Jordan Poole</h2>



“I honestly think the relationship between him (Jordan Poole) and Steve was more of what got him traded than the relationship with him and Draymond Green,” Dumas reported. “I just think Steve was kind of fed up with the fact that Jordan was kind of huffing and puffing that he wasn’t in the right role for him”.



“I think that had more to do with him being moved than that punch,” Dumas added. “That punch didn’t help and his and Draymond’s relationship wasn’t great. But I think Steve was more fed up than anything”.



Kerr has gone the extra mile to develop a winning culture and a team-first mentality in the Bay area, and Poole clearly had different thoughts in mind, which is why he’s no longer there.


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20230707#BUS#25008"></div>






It was a big blow to the Warriors’ future, and they’ll miss his scoring punch off the bench. But winning teams do what winning teams do, and they can’t afford to have someone with an attitude in the locker room.

Not Draymond Green: Jordan Poole's feud with another Warriors star led to his trade

This offseason has already seen the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/golden-state-warriors">Golden State Warriors</a> make significant changes. As the team aims to continue winning with <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/stephen-curry">Stephen Curry</a>, the front office made a bold move by trading Jordan Poole for <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/chris-paul">Chris Paul</a>.



Even though the Dubs won an NBA championship not long ago, last season they left much to be desired. Besides, they were forced to make a huge change with Bob Myers leaving his post as general manager after 12 years.



Mike Dunleavy didn’t wait to shake things up, moving on from Poole to get the veteran guard, who had just been traded by the Phoenix Suns to the Washington Wizards. The team made the deal official on Thursday, and Steph later sent a message to his former teammate.



<h2>Stephen Curry wishes good luck to Jordan Poole</h2>



“I appreciate the four years brother,” Curry said on Instagram. “You’re a champion. You grew up right in front of everybody’s face in terms of that first year was rough, a lot of injuries. Just trying to find your way, going to G-league and coming back and helping us finish 15-5 down the stretch of that second year. Us winning a championship in the third year. And, fighting till the end this past year. 



“So, can’t wait to see you blossom big fella. Can’t wait to see you shine in your own situation. Just looking forward to competing and obviously we’re a fan of everything you’ve become. Good luck to you!”


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20230706#BUS#24781"></div>


Curry also looked excited about the arrival of CP3, who hopes to win an elusive ring in San Francisco. “CP, can’t wait to ride with you brother. It’ll be different with us on the same side. Let’s get it! Let’s get it!,” he added.

The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/golden-state-warriors" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Golden State Warriors</a> decided to cut ties with <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/jordan-poole" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Jordan Poole</a>. He got into the team’s veterans nerves long before <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/draymond-green" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Draymond Green</a> punched him, and reportedly shut down every attempt to make amends afterward.



Multiple reports cite that Poole’s attitude had gotten into all veterans’ heads. He wasn’t liked and was isolated in the locker room, and it’s not like his play on the court backed up his body language off it.



Following the Dubs’ elimination, Draymond Green and Steve Kerr shared their thoughts on what may have went wrong in the season. And now that we know he was traded for <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/chris-paul" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Chris Paul</a>, it seems like Kerr took a big shot at him before the trade.



<h2>Steve Kerr May Have Called Out Jordan Poole</h2>



“None of those guys on Miami [Heat] are sitting there saying, ‘Well, I didn’t play,’ or ‘Man, they put in so-and-so,&apos;” Kerr said on Draymond Green’s podcast. “They’re just all about winning. And you know this from our groups that we’ve had, when you have that championship mentality, every guy is bought in, every guy is just trying to win, nobody — nobody cares about any of that stuff.”



“You don’t go in the locker room saying, ‘Well, I should have played more.’ You just want to win,” continued Kerr. “And that’s the beauty of finding that magic when you have a championship team, is that everybody is bought in, and it makes the decisions for the coach really simple. You just go with your gut, go with whoever’s playing well.”


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20230705#BUS#23784"></div>






Then, just a couple of weeks later, Poole — who openly complained about his playing time — was gift-wrapped and sent to the nation’s capital, so now you know how his own coach felt about him all along, and this trade makes so much more sense now.

The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/golden-state-warriors">Golden State Warriors</a> have made significant changes this offseason. It makes sense, since the team left a lot to be desired last year after winning the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/nba">NBA</a> Finals in 2022. Besides, they have to maximize <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/stephen-curry">Stephen Curry</a>‘s championship window while they can.



The Dubs were forced to make a huge decision shortly after the end of the 2022-23 campaign, with Bob Myers stepping away from his role as general manager after 12 unforgettable years.


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20230706#BUS#24781"></div>


It didn’t look like they needed to think too much about it, as they immediately promoted Mike Dunleavy Jr. Far from taking his time to start making decisions, the new GM quickly gave a new look to the roster.



<h2>Warriors officially announce departure of four players</h2>



The Golden State Warriors announced Thursday that four players are leaving the organization. We’re talking about Jordan Poole, Patrick Baldwin Jr., Ryan Rollins, and Ty Jerome.


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20230704#BUS#22667"></div>


While the latter joined the Cleveland Cavaliers as a restricted free agent, the other three were sent to the Washington Wizards as part of the trade that sees Chris Paul join the Dubs. Needless to say, Poole’s departure is the one that hurts Warriors fans the most.

NBA News: Stephen Curry officially loses four Warriors teammates

The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/golden-state-warriors" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Golden State Warriors </a>committed a lot of money to lock up <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/jordan-poole" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Jordan Poole</a> right after the<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/nba" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> NBA </a>Finals. Then, just one year later, they traded him in a salary-dump move.



And while his poor play in the postseason, offensive inconsistency, and non-existent defense played a part in that decision, it’s not like he was so bad for them that they needed to get him off the court.



The locker room, however, was a completely different thing. According to The Ringer’s Logan Murdock, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/draymond-green">Draymond Green </a>wasn’t the only Warriors veteran who wasn’t high on Poole’s attitude, which obviously helped make the decision of let him go.



<h2>Warriors Veterans Didn’t Like Jordan Poole</h2>



“A lot of the times, he was isolated from the group, right,” Murdock said on Bill Simmons’ podcast. “He had allies on the team; Andrew Wiggins was an ally on the team, (Kevon) Looney, who they both are from Milwaukee, was a guy that liked Jordan.”



“All the established guys had some version of a problem with Jordan Poole,” Murdock added. “Whether it was Klay (Thompson) ironically saying that Jordan doesn’t pass the ball enough and shoots too much. And then you have Draymond, who sees Jordan as this guy, is like: ‘Yeah, I did punch him. I did do all these things, but now I don’t have a voice within the locker room because of what happened just now.’ And he has spoken about that on his podcast. And then you have Steph (Curry) who was like trying to bring all of this together and was like, ‘Man, I am behind you Jordan; can you just get right so we can win?&apos;”



Poole constantly snubbed his veterans and coach Steve Kerr, so this doesn’t come as a surprise. His attitude and body language changed as soon as he got a big contract, and that doesn’t sit well with winning organizations.




<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20230630#BUS#21019"></div>




Now, he’ll get what he wants and collect massive paychecks while taking 30+ shots per game in Washington. As for winning basketball games, that seems highly unlikely.

The true reason why the Warriors traded Jordan Poole

Warriors veterans had actual beef with Jordan Poole, reveals insider - Bolavip US

Plenty of blockbuster trades took the league by storm a few days ago. However, the most unexpected one was probably the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/golden-state-warriors">Golden State Warriors</a> sending <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/jordan-poole">Jordan Poole</a> to the Washington Wizards in exchange for <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/chris-paul">Chris Paul</a>.



Poole played in a poor way during the playoffs, but there is no denying his preseason incident with <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/draymond-green">Draymond Green</a> had a lot to do with the trade. Since that day in which Green punched him in a practice, there have been rumors about one of them having to leave.


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20230627#BUS#18473"></div>


Green is currently a free agent after declining his player option. He is still expected to return unless another offer blows him away. But the defensive star made headlines when he was asked to pick a starting lineup using players from random teams on TikTok.



<h2>Warriors’ Green leaves Poole out of his lineup</h2>



In a video posted by Bleacher Report, the player had to pick his starting lineup choosing players from different team. His final team was PG Darius Garland, SG Dame Lillard, SF Lauri Markkanen, PF Kyle Kuzma, and C Bam Adebayo.



Nobody is going to choose Poole over Lillard, but when the Wizards logo popped up the shooting guard position was available. However, his reaction had most fans connecting Green to his former teammate. “Washington? (laughs) Who’s still on Washington’s team? Kuz, I’m taking Kuz at the forward”, Green answered.

Not so long ago, the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/golden-state-warriors" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Golden State Warriors</a> made us all think that <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/jordan-poole" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Jordan Poole </a>was going to be their star for the future, signing him to a big contract extension right after the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/nba" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NBA</a> Finals.



That didn’t last long, as Poole was a constant talking point — for the wrong reasons — this season, looking sluggish and uncoachable in the playoffs and failing to build from that career-best campaign.



According to a report by Mike Battaglino of AHN Fire Digital, that wasn’t much of a surprise for Steve Kerr and company. Apparently, the Warriors traded him for <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/chris-paul" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Chris Paul </a>because they didn’t feel he was an actual fit for their roster.



<h2>Warriors Considered Jordan Poole An ‘Extraneous And Inefficient’ Player</h2>



“What’s clear to me after a few days of checking around is that this all began when the Warriors decided that Jordan Poole was an extraneous and inefficient member of their roster,” wrote Battaglino. 



“That was the precipitating issue. The Warriors wanted out of the $123 million deal they gave Poole only eight months earlier because his play last season didn’t meet that value, especially given their extreme luxury-tax pressure,” the report added. “They knew he wanted a bigger role and they knew that almost certainly wouldn’t happen as long as Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson were on the team. The Warriors weren’t going to give Poole away, but they were ready to move on if the right deal came along.”




<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20230627#BUS#18936"></div>




Of course, one could wonder if the deal they got for him was the right deal, but that’s a whole different debate. Whatever the case, he’ll now be free to take as many shots as he wants and might even lead the league in scoring, and the Warriors can now build the roster with players who fit their scheme better.

JJ Redick explains why Chris Paul is a terrible fit for the Warriors

The true reason why the Warriors traded Jordan Poole - Bolavip US

The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/golden-state-warriors" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Golden State Warriors</a> just made one of the most bizarre trades in recent <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/nba" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NBA</a> history. Moving Jordan Poole for <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/chris-paul" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Chris Paul</a> seems to be against their nature, especially at this point in his career.



Poole was a bit of a rising star and had just signed a massive contract extension, whereas Paul was part of a salary-dumping deal as he entered the backend of his prime.



Basketball aside, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/stephen-curry" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Stephen Curry </a>recently admitted that he felt sorry about his team giving up on Poole, although he knows this is a great opportunity for him to showcase his true skills.



<h2>Stephen Curry ‘Hated’ Losing Jordan Poole</h2>



“You hate losing JP,” Curry told The Athletic. “I know it’s not all the way official yet. So I don’t want to talk too much before it is. But that’s the tough part of the business, seeing a young guy come into his own (and then get traded).”



“It’s a great opportunity for him,” Curry added. “It’s just you get to know someone like that, build a friendship, build a bond. It’s tough to see him go. But, you know, we’re trying to win next year and CP can help us do that.”


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20230627#BUS#18642"></div>






Maybe Steph is being politically correct; maybe he does feel sorry for losing Poole. Whatever the case, it was the only way to keep Draymond Green for the long run, so it has to be worth it.

Some <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/nba" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NBA</a> players get paid and work even harder. Others handle themselves differently, even around those who were there first and actually helped them get their bag. Former <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/golden-state-warriors" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Golden State Warriors</a> star <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/jordan-poole" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Jordan Poole </a>is one of the latter.



Reports from training camp stated that he had changed since signing that big contract, and it didn’t take long before it became loud and clear that he didn’t respect his veterans or even his coaching staff.



That’s why it was far from surprising to know that <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/golden-state-warriors" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Draymond Green</a> took matters into his own hands — sort of speak, and punched him during practice. And now that he’s not a part of the team anymore, Hip-Hop star Cam’ron finally revealed what led to this punch.



<h2>Cam’Ron Reveals What Jordan Poole Told Draymond Green Before The Punch</h2>



“The first day he told Draymond Green… ‘I f— more b-tches at Michigan State than you,’” Cam’ron revealed. “They was running sprints he told Draymond, ‘Don’t worry about it you’ll be in Sacramento next year.‘” 



“Then he told Draymond, ‘Why’s your Twitter handle MoneyGreen if u broke, u not gettin’ another contract.‘ That was the straw that broke the camel’s back,” Cam’ron added.

We never condone violence, but Poole was out of line and out of place here, and he should’ve known Green’s response was coming. At the end of the day, the Warriors will most definitely be better off without him and his attitude.

This is what Jordan Poole told Draymon Green before the punch

Just one year ago, the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/golden-state-warriors" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Golden State Warriors</a> signed<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/jordan-poole" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> Jordan Poole</a> to a massive contract extension, rewarding him for his breakout season and helping them win an <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/nba" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NBA </a>championship.



But Poole’s attitude and game changed right after getting paid, up to the point where it didn’t feel like he was enjoying his teammates’ company and vice versa, not to mention that altercation with Draymond Green.



That’s why the team made the decision to trade him for<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/chris-paul" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> Chris Paul’s </a>expiring contract. Moreover, coach Steve Kerr recently admitted that might as well be a positive shift for the team.



<h2>Steve Kerr Is Unbothered By The Jordan Poole Trade</h2>



“We’re going to be a lot different,” Kerr told The Athletic. “The last thing I’m going to do is say anything about a team that just won a championship a year ago and then fought through a difficult season. Made a helluva run at the end of this year. I’ve loved this group that we’ve had (for) the last couple (of) years.”



“But the biggest point is that we sensed we needed a shift,” Kerr added. “Didn’t mean we needed an overhaul, but we needed a shift of some sort. I think everybody in the organization sensed that. And it feels like we’ve made a pretty significant shift without giving up our identity and our sense of who we are as a team. I think, all in all, it’s a very positive shift.”


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20230624#BUS#17049"></div>




Truth be told, Poole may have played his way out of the team with that careless and selfish attitude. The Warriors will find a tough time replacing his offensive production, but the locker room might be in a much better place right now.

However, it was the compensation received in the trade that caught everyone off guard. <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/jordan-poole">Jordan Poole</a> was a valuable asset for the team if they wanted to make a move, but getting the 38-year-old player was a bit shocking. Especially considering the intense rivalry between Paul and the team.

What the Warriors proved with the transaction is that they are going to do everything they can to help <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/stephen-curry">Stephen Curry</a>. Now <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/steve-kerr">Steve Kerr</a> has to figure out a way to introduce the veteran into the rotation, something the head coach felt it was needed.

This unexpected move adds an intriguing dynamic to the Warriors’ fast-paced style. Poole brought a high ceiling with his scoring ability and youthful energy that aligned with their usual play. But his inconsistency was too detrimental for the team last season.



Acquiring Chris Paul is expected to address the turnover issue, a crucial aspect in winning close games. However, it will require a shift in playing style, at least when Paul is on the court. This is why Kerr’s explanation for the trade becomes essential in understanding their decision.



“The biggest point is that we sensed we needed a shift. Didn’t mean we needed an overhaul, but we needed a shift of some sort. I think everybody in the organization sensed that. And it feels like we’ve made a pretty significant shift without giving up our identity and our sense of who we are as a team. I think, all in all, it’s a very positive shift”, Kerr said to Tim Kawakami of The Athletic.

<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/jordan-poole">Jordan Poole</a> is out of Golden State. In a crucial moment where many franchises are building star caliber rosters, the Warriors made their move and let go a young star to acquire a veteran like <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/chris-paul">Chris Paul</a>.



The NBA is seeing blockbuster trades almost every week. Bradley Beal to the Suns, Kristaps Porzingis and the Celtics or Marcus Smart joining forces with Ja Morant.

However, at least for Stephen A. Smith, the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/golden-state-warriors">Golden State Warriors</a> aren’t doing any favors to <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/stephen-curry">Stephen Curry </a>by trading Jordan Poole for Chris Paul and also giving a protected 2030 first-round pick and a 2027 second-round pick.



<h2>Stephen A. Smith slams Warriors after Chris Paul’s trade</h2>



Jordan Poole&nbsp;was supposed to be a long term star of the&nbsp;Golden State Warriors&nbsp;playing alongside&nbsp;Stephen Curry&nbsp;and Klay Thompson. That’s why, just a few months ago, he got a four-year, $140 million extension.


 

 


Since he was drafted with the 26th overall pick in 2019 NBA Draft, Poole had an immediate impact helping the&nbsp;Warriors&nbsp;to be a dominant force in the West. In the 2021-2022 season, the guard was crucial in that magical championship run when they defeated the&nbsp;Boston Celtics&nbsp;in the finals.



However, it’s over for Poole and Stephen A. Smith wasn’t happy about it. “I did not like it one bit and I love some CP3. I think he’s one of the greatest point guards who have ever played this game. Future Hall of Famer. I just don’t like this from a basketball standpoint.”



Smith explained his reasons. “I don’t see how this makes it better. I don’t see how it’s an ideal fit. I just looked at this and said: Really? This doesn’t seem to make much sense. I don’t think that it’s going to make them better or more of a championship contender. Obviously, this is a business move.” 



Furthermore, Stephen A. Smith believes the Warriors had other needs. “That’s the move that you make? I thought they needed some more size. Certainly, it’s not gonna make them worse because Chris Paul doesn’t make teams worse. We know that. It’s just that in this situation, I don’t think it’s a good one. I just don’t like it.”

Finally, the analyst talked about Paul’s role for Steve Kerr. “Paul is gonna be somebody that stabilizes this second unit from the standpoint of being on the court with Kuminga and others.”
