The Jordan Poole trade will be considered one of the worst of all time (alien.top)

Despite his defensive shortcomings, he’s shown elite shotmaking in the playoffs and is only 24. In my opinion, his ceiling is enormous. I can’t understand why people are praising the Warriors trading him for a 38 year old CP3.

I think the trade value on Poole should have been higher, I don't think he's a significantly worse player than Herro or any of the other high offense, low defense young combo guards in the league, but I think the move was the right one.

It wasn't happening in GS, he needed to be in a new environment and the Warriors needed a different kind of presence to come in for a serious playoff run.
