Celtics reportedly had ‘conversations’ with Warriors about Jordan Poole prior to Marcus Smart trade

The Celtics have already completed several offseason trades, but they were reportedly exploring an additional deal prior to the acquisition of Kristaps Porzingis.

According to Jake Fischer of Yahoo Sports, the Celtics explored the possibility of adding guard Jordan Poole.

“There were also conversations between Golden State and Boston, sources said, about sending Poole to the Celtics, before Boston went forward and traded Marcus Smart in the three-team trade with the Grizzlies that brought Kristaps Porziu0146u0123is to the TD Garden,” wrote Fischer.

Poole, 24, helped the Warriors defeat the Celtics in the 2022 NBA Finals, and average 20.
