In the summer of 2022, Bob Myers, then the general manager of the Warriors, did not hesitate to give Jordan Poole, the champion of the championship, a four-year worth of 1$2.8 billion early contract extension. The contract extension seemed worth the price at the time, as Jordan Poole had made a great contribution to the Warriors' championship journey! Without Jordan Poole's contribution on the offensive end, the Warriors would probably not be able to reverse the Celtics to win the 2022 NBA championship. So, it's only natural for the Warriors to give Poole a big contract!
But what caught the Warriors off guard was that Jordan Poole turned out to be a flash in the pan! After signing a big contract, not only did the state fluctuate, but it also became a time bomb in the dressing room. Among them, the most well-known is definitely the boxing incident of being yelled at by Dream Green in the new season training camp! The reason for the incident was that Jordan Poole, who was growing in his heart, had no one in the training camp in his eyes, and he used disrespectful words to the team bigwigs in a disrespectful tone several times, including Curry and Klay. In this case, Dream Green, as the spiritual leader of the Warriors, was furious, and eventually the Dream Catcher Boxing Jordan Poole incident occurred.
I have to say that Jordan Poole is to blame! When you achieve a little something, you are complacent, and no one is in sight. Although you are the champion of the Warriors, it is also based on Curry, Klay, and Dream Chasing. If you didn't have Kutang Chai, you would be nothing! The Warriors aren't going to put Kutang in the dark because of your rise, so it's only a matter of time before Jordan Poole is cleaned up by the Warriors. Eventually, last summer, the Warriors traded Jordan Poole for Chris Paul, and the young man who was once defined as Curry ended his Warriors career.
Jordan Poole, who went to the Wizards, thought he was about to kill all sides and usher in the peak of his career! Unexpectedly, without the protection of Library, Soup, and Chasing, Jordan Poole performed a comprehensive hip pull, and at the beginning of the season, the plus-minus in several consecutive games hit a record low, becoming the league's most rubbish player. So far this season, Jordan Poole is averaging 156 points 24 rebounds and 37 assists, 40% shooting from the field and 30 from three-point range3%。Under Poole's leadership, the Wizards only achieved a 9-45 record and the second-to-last record in the league, and he was completely sorry for his 100 million yuan contract with such a crotch pull.
Recently, NBA salary expert Bobby Marks talked about Warriors veteran Jordan Poole in a guest on Bay Area Radio. Marks saidMany teams have said that Jordan Poole's contract may be the most rubbish contract in the NBA, and that the Warriors have escaped. ”
Admittedly, the Warriors did indeed play in Jordan Poole 4 years 1Escaped on the 2.8 billion big contract! Although the contract was signed during the 2022 Summer of the Champions League, it was only in the 2023-24 season that the contract took effect. But the Warriors dumped the pot on the Washington Wizards last offseason. The Warriors have perfectly avoided the pit while also returning Chris Paul to a practical veteran, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone! But it's really miserable for the Wizards, not only to swallow Jordan Poole's garbage contract, but also to endure his disastrous performance on the court, which is really miserable!
