He got a ring, a bag, and a team. He threw everything he learned in the bay into the trash when he was traded. He didn't want to practice patience and had no desire to strengthen his craft. Last season JP could have fought to be in it with GS, instead he chose to be to himself, made the team loose several games because he didn't want to come off of the bench. How bad does it really have to be when Steph tell them to get him out? JP made a choice, he said the wrong thing to his teammate/brother, and like most brothers D.G. knocked him out. Jordan should have beat Draymond's ass, but he behaved like a 10 yo kid. Now he has it all a championship under his belt, $128 million, and the Wizards gave him what GS didn't and that was to be HIM. After 16 months and a move from Cali to Washington Poole is Poole's problem, not Draymond. Patience has Kuminga starting and 2 rookies getting great minutes. That was supposed to be Poole. He forced the owner and the organization to choose between him and a guy that has brought 4 championships to the organization, anybody would have picked Draymond. KD tried and failed. It's Steph's team. Poole needs to care and stop acting so entitled. This next generation is out there balling and Pooles low basketball iq, and overall attitude is something most teams don't want to deal with. From the highest of highs to the lowest of lows blaming Draymond isn't the move. We all saw him get punched, but this is the nba talent is everywhere. Klay and Dray can fall off, they have Steph. Poole forfeited that luxury when he called Draymond an expensive back pack for 30. He has a few years to fix it, but right now he is just a bad contract. He may never become box office, but he could definitely be a 6th man if he wants to stay in the league.💯💯

Anyone who watched him in GS knew that as soon as he went to WAS and was given the keys, he was going to turn into a chucker.. MIP was NOT on the table.. dude isn't built that way..

When the Warriors won that championship, Poole & Wiggins were clearly the faces of the team's future. Hand the keys to the youth as Curry, Thompson, Green eventually get out of the game. It's 2024 and Wiggins has issues and the Poole situation exploded. It's crazy and sad at the same time.

He don't want to be in Washington and the warriors system help his skills and talent. Without there system he is a average players.

I dont really get this narrative. I didnt watch him in the regular season when he was on the warriors, but i watched him through the playoffs. He was trash. Worse every round and legit the lowest basketball iq I've ever seen. He was important to win the chip, but he was also a reason they were struggling to win the chip. He kept taking bad shots and turning the ball over. But everyone forgets how bsd he is when a couple of his bad shots happen to go in. He's a bad player that flourished at times because of Steph's gravity and fans' short-term memory.

Correction,,, he got paid AFTER the Draymond punch.

5:08 AG throwing the towel at him lololol

My coach always says, you need respect and skill to win a chip, and I watched sadly Jordan pooles respect fade after getting us a chip.

Is something up with the music?

rumors say he almost got traded to the wnba

not a real fan. He was instrumental in our championship run and he was on his way to becoming the heir to the Splash Brother throne. He was betrayed by Dray and the organization had to make the cutthroat/capitalist/ultimately unfortunately correct move by moving him and keeping Dray because of what Dray is to the team. It's the lowest move the organization has made during the dynastic run. We have always been good to our players and that's why vets and up and comers all want to come here. Poole's life/career trajectory is experiencing a blip the same way any of us would have had we been betrayed and disowned by everything we knew and loved. your take is weak and callous.

Sports is full of talented people finding new ways to waste their talent. No bums make it to the NBA. Poole can blame everybody else but none of them have to play his career. He has to play it. He wants to be the Man. Welcome to the Wizards where many a player has been sent to be the Man.

He let it get to his head

Kerr made it pretty clear in a press conference how he felt about Poole. He said he wanted Poole to use his own talents and not let Thompson and Curry get in his head....and Poole just never could do that. Once he signed that deal and became a primary assignment for defenders, his 3pt percentage plummeted but his attempts did not. Curry and a prime Klay would make those shots. Poole couldn't, which was Kerr's point. And when Poole's shots weren't falling he was a mental train wreck. Turnovers, bad fouls, giving up cuts. The series against the Kings last year was just painful. Poole comes in for a just few mins and leaves with two or three fouls, 0 points and a turnover.

A young and immature player like Poole struggled to grasp his true strengths and weaknesses. He mistakenly believed the Warriors would trade Draymond but was surprised to find himself expendable due to his immaturity and lack of experience. Overestimating his own value, he made poor contract decisions that led to his departure from the Warriors because he became far too expensive to keep. His focus on money blinded him to the team dynamics of selfless play and team-ball first. Now that he's facing the challenges of being a prime target and a team leader, he realizes the difficulties of playing selfishly and leading a team. Lastly, if he can learn from this season and grow as a true team player, he should outlast many who have been in his position and slowly return to become a strong player. If he doesn't change, I do not see him lasting over one more season.

2:07 "It became clear that Jordan Poole felt betrayed. " Meanwhile in the 2022-2023 season, I'm watching Poole turning over the balls during clutch time and playing hero balls during Regular season. In the Playoff, he shot the Warriors out of it not to mention he is a defensive liability. He has been exposed and teams want their scorer to switch into him. In my mind, after the punch he did what James Harden did. He got his ring, then he wanted out, he wanted his own team. He wants to be "him", he wants to be the "go-to-guy". That's why he is always trying to make every play into a "flashy" play. (It is indeed flashy because he did blind pair of eyes when I watch him).

Finding out the difference between having a superstar teammate make space for your game, vs having to create your own space. So many things making him currently among worst starters in NBA: (1) still won’t play D (2) still cherry picks (3) still showboats (4) still has poorest decision making. Seems like a decent guy irl, but big mouth, and no common sense.

Confucius say look inside one's self, take poison out, and be a better man. Okay, I made that up. Poole just need to get his mentality right and I'm sure he'll flourish. He's got talent and proven he's capable of being a star. Now, stop ball-hogging and trying to be like Curry, cos Steph's a generational talent that Poole can't emulate. Accept that and he'll be fine.

Poole will come back. He's a great player, unique and fearless. He's just experiencing the pain and disillusionment any of us would feel in life/career if everything we knew/our family betrayed and disowned us.

Waste of money and roster spot. He's so inconsistent it seems like he does not care at all. No competitive drive.

Yeah pool party to fool party😅

He’s the Marquis player on Washington… and they are 1 win ahead of the pistons. He takes bad shots and turns the ball over. He needs to get right in his head or he will be out of the league. Ask Ben Simmons, doesn’t matter how you start, if you don’t get better every year teams will shut you down.

He was getting open shots in GS because of other splash brothers . He was never to dribble and create his own shots. He was wasteful in GS as well but was getting covered by other splash brothers. In Washington he is getting exposed with opposing teams preparing scouting reports in advance. Now he need to move to next steps if he is really a superstar caliber player. In my opinion, he was never a star caliber player and never will be.

Golden State has a terrible track record in developing and retaining up and coming young talent. When they won their last championship the future looked bright with Wiggins & Poole to eventually inherit the keys to the car. Wiggins isn't the same anymore and the Poole situation happened, now no longer on the team.

I swear to god, y’all don’t know ball… The wizards system is just ass. I can see Poole being a very good player with the Sac Kings… He obviously just don’t like the city of Washington.
