Teams that want Poole (alien.top)

I am pretty tired of watching Poole play on the Wizards. We should be tanking while giving shots to our young players with potential. Trading Poole away would be serving are best interests.

Are there any teams that Poole would fit well on or any teams that would likely trade for him?

The catch is that a team that would want Poole is a tanking team (Wizards) bc he can score and can be fun to watch but isn’t going to win you games. Teams that are tanking though aren’t going to want to give up good young players with potential.

A standard way to do that is finding the next Blazers that has a player that wants out, they plan to tank, and you need Poole as part of the salary match. Good luck though getting that player to want to go to the Wizards. Since nobody is going to demand out to go to a losing team.

Final hope is a team that needs to hit the salary floor. But in that case you’re probably giving up assets to get off of the Poole contract.

So really the only hope is he outplays his contract and turns into a valuable asset. A win-now team needs scoring off the bench and is wiling to dump players with potential but can’t contribute or future draft picks.
