it’s not over he’ll get signed somewhere else once he’s released/contract ends

Has anyone watched him play? Dude keeps the other team in the game half the time with his terrible shot selection. He is a liability on both ends of the court. Of course he is a DNP.

he’ll be a great shot chucker on one of these expansion teams

I miss Poole Party. Genuine fun time to be a GSW fan.🥲

First year was ass. But once he settled in it was really fun.

He’s an expiring next summer. Somebody will exchange him for a worse contract and picks. And give him a shot. He’s the new D’L:o.

I’m unfortunately a Pelicans fan. When Poole came in, he tried to take shots as if he was on a team that was going to get a friendly whistle. He tried to foul bait in close games, that would result in turnovers or a really bad 3 pt. Since he’d be on the floor, it then would end up being fast break points for the other team.

The Pel’s this season have gotten way more out of Bey and Bryce, who was a 2-way contract they are [or maybe have] converted. We also spent a first round draft pick on a Point Guard, and this month we’re getting Murray back, and Peavy who was a draft rights from the Poole trade, has also done well in his limited use. Bey was also part of that trade….

If there are no more injuries, Poole isn’t going to get many minutes. Just like Looney, he was a mistake for the Pelicans to grab. They thought getting Looney was going to unlock something for Poole.

Kings are worse.

I’ve never seen someone so bad at basketball, and I’m a Pels fan.

I’d also like to point out, we’re not the worst team in the west - that belongs to Sacramento. He is a DNP on the 2nd worst team in the west.

He’s kind of turned into the least desirable player in the league minus someone like DLO. He’s not really young anymore, he’s not good enough to play consistently on a good team but on a bad team he does nothing beneficial to anyone but himself. No one looking for an inefficient shot chucker who isn’t going to put his teammates first and play make and isn’t going to play tough defense. Like if you’re New Orleans the ROI on giving minutes to Fears or Hawkins over him is much higher

Not that $ad - and his career isn’t over.

The Milwaukee Reclamation Projects welcomes Jordon Poole with open arms.

Undersized combo guard who is going to be on an expiring contract this upcoming offseason?

Bah gawd that’s Chicago’s music!!!

Someone will take a chance as a contract swap since hes an expiring.

Jordan Poole on the Warriors was more proof that the Warrior’s offensive system was excellent than it was proof that Jordan Poole was excellent.

Since when can you post pictures on r/nba

If I try to do this the mods will send a hit squad after me.

Anyways…

Yes, I have been very disappointed in Jordan Poole.

I rooted for him big time after Draymond punched him, and he played fairly well on the Wizards…went undefeated against Jokic lol.

But he has completely regressed into his worst habits.

Very unserious basketball player and it’s a shame too because he had legit potential to be a very solid backup point guard in the league.

Jordan Poole is WAY more talented than Jeremy Lin or Ricky Rubio…but those guys had solid careers and multiple chances in the NBA because they were SERIOUS basketball players.

Bright side, JP is still very young and he can still have a comeback.

He just needs to get serious. Or go home and play with his cats.

I’m 99.9% sure the kings are the worst team in the west lol

I mean… he’s got massive check while being a very important piece of the team when he won the ring. I think he’s fine.

He’ll catch on somewhere on a bargain bin contract but man what a bizarre career he’s had. He was the actual worst player in the league as a rookie, then became a key cog in a title team, then went back to being a black hole on both sides of the ball after getting punched in the face at practice

I’ve never liked Poole. Terrible attitude and huge ego. I could see why even Curry was frustrated w him.

He wouldn’t belong on a contending team because he brings zero value on both ends and he would be a locker room cancer, bad for the culture and development for a rebuilding team. Not sure where he goes from here.

*2nd worst team in the west

There, I fixed it for you.

His career would never have taken off tbh if carrying was called in the NBA

I doubt he would have been good for us even if Dray didn’t punch him. He checked out after getting his bag

He won a ring and got paid. He’ll go back to his original role as a microwave scorer after this contract.

He’s terrible on defense which makes him, by most metrics, a negative asset while on the court. He’s below league average for efficiency for pretty much his entire career. What do you get when you’re bad on offense and defense? He could maybe find a spot somewhere as a 7th man to bring a little scoring off the bench.

An underrated part of the final Warriors title was Poole and Wiggins being so much more productive than their seasons before and after. So many things went right for that championship to succeed.

The NBA turned on him because he started playing like a jack ass.

What is exactly is sad about that? It’s his own doing.

He has talent so he just needs to stop playing like a jack ass and some team will sign him (on a more reasonable contract.)

He’ll get a 1+1 for around $18mil (total) with the second year being a team option. I think he’d do better on a veteran team that needs a guy off the bench to be a scorer/playmaker and who could spot start. He really needs to rehab his game and career trajectory. He should really workout with Steph in the offseason if he can. Get some familiarity, structure, and comfort back in his life.

Poole leveraged a great postseason run and getting knocked out by Draymond Green to get a 100+ million dollar contract.

Poole had one amazing playoff performance, where he was awesome but there were some serious flaws. After that run he basically became Patrick McCaw 2.0. An idiot with a giant sense of self worth

I hope not I will always be a fan for his shot against Houston in the 2018 ncaa tournament

Honestly he could be good as a bench piece wouldn’t mind him playing bench scorer for the pistons

It would probably help if he wasn’t high as fuck everyday

who cares, he’s not significant and just a net negative player. the pelicans can’t probably move him either way so just keep him in bench til end of season.

I feel like it’s hard to judge anyone on this pelicans team lol. It’s a shit show. Maybe he’ll do better on a minimum somewhere else

There’s nothing sad about some mid-talent dweeb who’s not interested in playing the game the right way and refuses to work on his game. Get him out of here and let guys who are actually hungry for it get a chance.

I sure hope not. 

I know I shouldn’t say this, but he and Russell Westbrook are two of the most enjoyable “hatewatches” in the NBA.

I don’t actually have anything against either guy, but they do some hilarious things, and it’s just kind of a nice reminder that even people doing stuff at the highest level can be complete clowns, sometimes

Another notch in the belt for Will Dawkins. Absolute masterstroke to flip him for CJ who he could then flip for Trae.

no its not

all while being on the worst team in the West.

Um, excuse me?

I wouldn’t be surprised. I was looking at defensive shot charts the other day, and he has been literally one of if not the worst defender in the NBA past couple years. He is an entire tier below some of the worst defender like Trae Young or Lamelo.

If he was a better facilitator maybe he could justify being in a rotation, but right now when he is on the court it just guarantees the opposing team will be the significantly more efficient team.

while being on the worst team in the west

Sacramento Kings: am I a joke to you?

The Warriors were able to reign in his worst habits and they won a championship with him contributing.

Then the Draymond punch, Poole got his extension, and the idea he would ever be a player any different than what he wanted to be, no defense having, poor shot selection, low BBIQ play, is just what he’s been ever since.

Bruh has had 3 post-Warriors years to prove himself and he’s only been good in one of those three years. He stunk during his first season in Washington and this year he’s somehow much, much worse.

It’s not the end for him, but I think this run shut the door on him ever being anything but a good bench player. Hes an undersized 2 who can’t guard and he’s pretty mid as a playmaker - if he isn’t even producing at league average efficiency then why give him a big contract?

He’s so fucking bad man….. he just is

Poole will always be relevant when people talk about 22. Whenever someone mentions the carry job Curry did, suddenly the haters come out and JP is a borderline HOFer.

Kerr and Draymond had him locked into the program, and when your star player is getting doubled nonstop, shooters should shoot well.

How could Draymond do this

There is legitimately nothing sad about Jordan Poole. He got his bag and it seems like he has no drive and doesn’t give a single fuck. Don’t feel bad for 100 millionaires who get lazy for gods sake.

No.

If these expansion rumors are real then he’ll have around for a little bit longer

Absolutely unreal fall from grace. I legit thought he’d be a future star for a long time, i doubt its completely over, teams will continue to give him chances I hopes of reaching that high again although it most likely won’t happen.

He’s a minimum type player at the moment until he shows he has a role in the league.

It’s not, but it will be very soon if he doesn’t drastically change the way he looks at the game.

It’s a shame, because he has so much talent but hasn’t let go of the ego that he (honestly earned) got in Golden State. I remember what made him special was the amount of work he put in. I wish he can turn it around but I’ve lost almost all my faith

It’s quite possible. It’s crazy how players like him have been phased out in such a short span. Smaller volume scorers who bring little to nothing on defense are going extinct. He got his title and bag, he seems like he’s content being done.

No. At the very least, he has 1 more year left on his contract. After that, someone will sign him to at least a vet min and I could see him bouncing around the league on min deals for another 2-3 seasons.

Is this AI?

I still remember his biggest moment was hitting the buzzer beater over Houston in March Madness.

Still shocked at the rise and potential of this player. Will remember him most for his ridiculous facial expressions and antics from his early days on the Michigan bench. Then we had to endure more as he became a regular on the court.

So why did Dumars trade for him???

Legacy secured

Orlando pls make the call this off season

Never forget how trash he was in the 2023 playoffs

Is he a shorter guard? Those have gone out of style unless you shoot like Curry consistently

Unfortunately a player whose low bball IQ far overweighs his talent

He played a lot better with Steph on his team, but who hasn’t played better with Steph on their team

Pool party was such a perfect next gen version of splash bros man just a shame how it ended

Him hitting the 3 from Seafood City is up there in terms of Warriors moments during that title run.

When was the beginning?

Poole was awful in 2023-24, but had somewhat of a bounce-back season last year, so everyone probably expected that to carry on into this season.

Was always a bit of a weird unnecessary acquisition for NO, but you could understand it if they had designs on him being a key piece (even as a bridge to the future for 1-2 years).

Poole not starting or getting bulk minutes or touches from the start of the year despite Dejounte Murray’s absence should have been a bit of a warning sign. He’s just not that good at the things he’s supposed to be good at, and doesn’t have enough else to his game when the shot isn’t falling or he’s not on a hot streak.

This dude almost averaged 50/40/90 during warriors championship in 2022 and now he is getting DNPed. It is incredibly difficult to be consistent in life, applies to all domains.

if it is, he has nothing to be upset about. hes a champion and played a pivotal run on that championship run. say/think what you want about jordan poole but nobody can take that away from him

Please explain to me what’s the difference between him and Cam Thomas?

I don’t know how anybody ever liked him. I’m a fan of the warriors to a certain extent, and I could not stand him. Even though he helped them win the chip, I just don’t see the appeal of his mold of player.

The Bulls could use some guard depth on their roster

There always teams looking for a tank commander.

He said it himself… he won a championship, he’s got nothing left to prove. Dude has a terrible mindset

He was definitely one of the players that I was totally wrong about. I went to game 2 of the 2022 finals and the dude was just electric, like he hit a half court shot and even I stood up and almost started cheering lol. I talked with the warriors fan next to me during the game and we were talking about Poole potentially taking the reins from Curry, which in hindsight is kind of hilarious.

Huh took me awhile to realize this don’t say Jordan Peele

No

Bro need to come on back home to GS
