The Washington Wizards made a massive decision this offseason and chose to rebuild. As part of their rebuilding process, they traded away Bradley Beal and Kristaps Porzingis. The most significant return they got in these trades was Jordan Poole from the Golden State Warriors. The Warriors’ decision to trade Poole was a controversial one and if Poole were to rediscover his form from the 2021-22 season, Golden State will regret their decision to move on from him.
Jordan Poole was unfairly made out to be the scapegoat for the 2022-23 Golden State Warriors. Yes, he struggled in the playoffs, but so did the other members of the Warriors not named Steph Curry.
