Jordan Poole’s future at the Golden State Warriors is bound to be a source of debate this offseason, with the 23-year-old set to begin a new four-year, $140 million contract that he signed in the middle of October last season.
A disappointing playoff campaign has now catapulted Poole’s new deal into one of the worst in the league, providing Golden State with a major conundrum as they seek to balance the highest payroll in the league.
Jordan Poole’s relative youth should force hesitation if the Golden State Warriors consider trading the 23-year-old this offseason.
There’s plenty of reasons why the Warriors may look to deal Poole this offseason — the fact it looks like a horrible deal given his form, to balance a roster that sees them paying over a combined $120+ million to three guards next season, or simply to get some money off a payroll that can’t be sustained by second-round exits.
