Celtics almost traded for Jordan Poole?
San Antonio registered interest in Jordan Poole, league sources told Yahoo Sports, although the Spurs never made a significant offer. There were also conversations between Golden State and Boston, sources said, about sending Poole to the Celtics, before Boston went forward and traded Marcus Smart in the three-team trade with the Grizzlies that brought Kristaps Porziņģis to the TD Garden.

Can confirm the Warriors traded Patrick Baldwin Jr to the Wizards for the No. 57 pick, Indiana forward Trayce Jackson-Davis, as part of the Poole-CP3 deal. @ShamsCharania had it first. – 1:00 AM

The Warriors, per @ShamsCharania, are essentially flipping the Patrick Baldwin Jr. roster spot (and first round contract) for Trayce Jackson-Davis on a cheaper second round contract. Older prospect. This part of CP-Poole trade will be judged on which player is better quicker. – 12:47 AM

The Wizards haul for Bradley Beal and Kristaps Porzingis is actually great:
Jordan Poole

Landry Shamet
8 second round picks
4 first round swaps
1 protected first
Poole will get a ton of opportunity, and probably be a Most Improved candidate. – 6:05 PM

The Jordan Poole departure will be felt most for the Warriors during the marathon regular season. He played all 82 games this past season. Productive when Curry/Klay sat. Averaged 24.6 points as starter. Warriors were respectable 14-12 without Curry. theathletic.com/4633043/2023/0… – 4:56 PM

– Still weak markets on Ayton, Zion, Siakam … – 3:46 PM

Tyus Jones suddenly makes a lot more sense for the Wizards now that Jordan Poole is there. Obviously Washington’s goal should be to let Poole handle the ball a lot, but probably best to have a real point guard next to him just to curb some of his ball-hoggiest tendencies. – 3:41 PM

Initial thoughts: This move doesn’t make the Dubs better in the regular season. CP3 is not an 82 game player anymore. Jordan Poole doesn’t miss games.

I think as much bringing immediacy to the Warriors’ one-more-title quest, they get out from under that mistake of a contract to Poole. The prospect of four years playing like he did last year would sour anybody’s stomach. Paul’s deal is only guaranteed for part of next season. – 3:27 PM

As it pertains to Lowry’s expiring $29.7 M: Though J. Poole’s contract became an unappealing one with his decline in efficiency, he did average 20.4 ppg & the Paul/Poole deal is another example of what expiring big $ PG contract can be parlayed into. (After Westbrook deal in Feb) – 3:27 PM

A Tyus Jones-Jordan Poole backcourt, if that’s how this shakes out … The Wizards could do a lot worse than that. – 3:24 PM

Man… that CP3 will steady the ship considerably in Golden State. Def fewer of the crazy passing turnovers that I’m sure drove Warriors fans insane about Poole. Locker room chemistry I’m sure becomes more on the same page too – 3:20 PM

So the Wizards turned Beal into Poole, Landry Fields, a 1st and several 2nds. Not bad – 3:19 PM

The Wizards’ new starting backcourt: Tyus Jones and Jordan Poole.
Not a bad start for Washington as they reset their core. – 3:18 PM

Jordan Poole has a $3.9M salary in the current league year but his extension raises his incoming salary from Washington’s end to $25.4M (poison pill provision).
Warriors would need to send out $18.7M to match for Chris Paul before June ends. Otherwise, this deal works in July. – 3:15 PM

Believe this trade will have to wait til Poole’s extension kicks in, in July, for the trade to go through. The 110% provision for teams above the apron in 2023-24 only is juuuuuust enough to accomodate Paul’s salary with Poole’s. – 3:15 PM

More on this storyline
In all of Washington’s trade talks, the Wizards told rival teams they were prioritizing short-term salary, sources said. Poole’s was the only significant future number that landed back on Washington’s books, which has led some opposing executives to wonder whether the Wizards will look to move Poole again at some point prior to next year’s trade deadline. For what it’s worth, Golden State is under the impression Washington intends to keep Poole, sources told Yahoo Sports. -via Yahoo! Sports / June 23, 2023
