That has to hurt if you're the guy himself. Like saying "no guys this cretin is not our future, we know".

what a slap in the face
Draymond punching this kid right out of the league
trade piece to make a trade with the shanghai sharks
Shocked...but also who's dumb to take his contract aside Wizards lol? They ain't trading him soon
Trade him to the Wizards
“Have my own team” 🤣
A trade piece? 😂
Who’s gonna willingly trade for him?
Why did the Warriors give Pool the max?
Whoops
Lol who is gonna want him now, the Bulls after they finally blow it up for a complete rebuild??
He's a Tank Commander and that's about it
He is at his best a 3rd or 4th option on a good team.
File this under the long list of players that looked decent on the dubs and got the bag elsewhere.
I’m forever grateful for Poole helping us win the title and want to see him succeed but it’s becoming apparent that I’d like him to succeed more than he wants to see himself have a successful post Warriors career.
Lmao
Lol hes gunna be in washington a while
Future laker
The only thing significant about a Jordan Poole trade is the salary the opposite team is taking on when they trade for him.
Lol they will need to attach 2 1sts to trade him though.
Honestly i don’t know which is dumber- thinking he’s a core piece or thinking he’s a trade asset…
I really don't get why they don't get there moneys worth. If you run him out there as the star player 3 years in a row, youll get three top 5 picks at least. A 100 million is a bargain for 3 top 5 picks.
He can have his own team in Shanghai
They spelled "tank commander" wrong.
I wonder if any team that trades for him will want him, or if he’ll just be salary matching
As a side note - I'm kinda surprised to learn he's only 23. Dude is not aging well.
He wants his own team but has not taken the championship leaderships role that I think they thought they would get from him.
There are shots of him in timeouts not even paying attention, even flaunting like he's not. As the teams highest paid guy and "best player", other guys react to that and it reverberates.
Tank Commander ain't got time for this nonsense.
Duh
He’s a matching salary, at best.
Wizards gonna trade him for the worlds most expensive toaster soon.
Ok but for what?
Can't wait until the autists at r/Lakers try to send D'lo, and picks out for him
Poole has got the be the most unmovable contract. 3 more years after this one at 30+ million. No positive value as a player.
Everyone does
This guy can’t even lead a low ranking team lmfao. Wizards definitely lost this trade and their GM gotta go too.
On what planet is this guy their franchise player when Kuzma has looked a million times better in basically every aspect of the game?
I could see him being a utility scorer off the bench for a championship team AT BEST
Is this entire thing based solely on this tweet from a fake Legion Hoops parody account?
NOBODY WANTS JORDAN POOLE
What team does he fit on in the role he envisions for himself?
Memphis? Ja needs a co-star in the chucker role…
Detroit?
I’m just not sure there’s a fit for him anywhere
The problem is, so do the 29 other teams
if anybody on the wizards right now has value as a trade piece, it’s kuzma imo. he’s not putting up eye popping numbers, and clearly he’s not enough to move the win needle as a no. 1 guy. but he’s been consistent in his contributions. i think he could be a great addition to a contending team, assuming he’s a good fit w the existing scheme and can acquiesce to whatever role they put him in. even tyus jones seems like a more appealing trade to make than going after poole
This generation's Lance Stephenson
you don't say...
Memed into oblivion. Feels like the Javale Mcgee period where you only the see lowlights. But trade him to a fringe contender like 76ers and he'll be a seen as a steal
Cornerstone tank commander
Not too long ago he was in discussions alongside RJ and Herro as to who was better among the three. How quick things change.
it's fine. his family is financially set and legacy has been secured lol.
That didn't last long.
Send him to Detroit.
Cade and Poole can be the new Steve Francis and Cuttino Mobley.
