Steph Curry posting a touching message to Jordan Poole after the Golden State Warriors traded the guard to the Washington Wizards in exchange for NBA legend Chris Paul.
On Thursday, the Warriors and Wizards formally announced their blockbuster trade involving both Poole and Paul from earlier in the offseason. The move came out of nowhere and stunned fans as the Warriors opted to shift Poole, Patrick Baldwin Jr., Ryan Rollins and multiple draft picks to Washington for the veteran point guard.
Poole developed into a fringe starter for the Warriors whose inconsistency grew tiring for head coach Steve Kerr. Selected 28th overall in the 2019 NBA Draft, Poole emerged from the G League to playing a key role as Golden State elongated its dynasty with a fourth championship in eight years in 2022.
