Washington is actually pretty deep at point guard right now. Tyus, Monte Morris, and Delon Wright are already on the roster and they’re in position to draft Anthony Black tonight at the draft.

Never mind, it was the Wizards!Washington and Golden State are close on a trade sending Chris Paul to the Warriors for Jordan Poole, sources tell @TheAthletic @Stadium.

Jesus Christ. They couldn’t have just waited to bring in cP3 once the Wizards inevitably cut him?My understanding is the No. 19 pick is headed to Washington alongside Poole. https://t.co/Bf4108jYLN

Shams says this year’s Warriors pick isn’t included. (Plus they technically can’t trade this year’s pick yet thanks to them not having their pick next year)Warriors are sending Jordan Poole, a protected first-round pick in 2030 and a second-rounder in 2027 to the Wizards for Chris Paul, league sources said. https://t.co/GLCIS0bDsg

No. 19 pick was something Wizards naturally coveted in these discussions. But Golden State is staying in the first round. https://t.co/vUXKgsNiwC

That's a straight salary dump... wow. I actually like Poole and I think he'll have a resurgence in Washington. imagine him getting the green light.. might not result in a lot of wins, but it'd be fun.

Golden State is also trading 2022 second-rounder Ryan Rollins to Washington as part of Poole-CP3 deal, sources said. https://t.co/sI1L23FPrE

They might have been scared that he might go somewhere else.
It also allows them to get out of Poole's salary for 3 years. They might seriously be looking at life beyond the Curry era. Their recent picks have mostly been duds, Draymond has opted out, and there is a chance he might not be back (trading away Poole might help him return
). Klay played well, but he too will see his production go down over the years.Poole is being paid almost Fox level money. Will make a restart easier.

That Poole/Tyus backcourt might be fun to watch. Now they just need to dump Monte Morris and Delon.

The issue here is that they just traded some of their future picks to execute said salary dump.They might have been scared that he might go somewhere else.

The Wizards effectively traded the worst contract in the league for the second worst contract in the league.Because of the poison pill restriction in the Poole rookie extension, this deal cannot be official until July 6.
— Bobby Marks (@BobbyMarks42) June 22, 2023
Poole signed a four year $128M extension last October.
23-24: $27.45M
24-25: $29.65M
25-26: $31.84M
26-27: $34M
He has $4.25M per year in unlikely bonuses. https://t.co/g2q7GKhlee

Yeah. Just saw the full details of the trade. Sorry, jumped the gun based on the initial post.

Chris Paul and Draymond Green are combining to form the most formidable groin-striking duo in the history of sports https://t.co/xVYVbLnJ3k

We'll just wear full-gear on those game days.
....I'd easily give up Keegan for Franz

This is a warning about overpaying for players in that non-efficiency range. The Warriors basically dumping Poole is quite interesting.
Wow that Cp3 deal. I love that for WASH.
Gives Poole every chance to be the lead-ball handler, rehab his value potentially and he's probably not good enough that he doesn't keep them from bottoming out like they want. Also, puts Tyus directly on the trade block for more assets.

I think that's a 1 step foward 1 step back kind of idea. No real reason to do something like that.

I really like Franz but given how this roster is built, Keegan’s offball gravity is far more important to us than Franz’s skillset

Can they add Schroeder to compete the trifecta?
