Warriors GM reveals decision behind Jordan Poole trade

Heading into the offseason, the Golden State Warriors had a decision to make regarding Draymond Green’s future with the franchise. Green, 33, has been a core member of the Warriors dynasty and is a generational defensive talent. However, in order for Golden State to retain Green beyond his current deal, the front office would likely need to clear some cap room.

According to Warriors GM Mike Dunleavy, who was speaking to The Athletic’s Tim Kawakami, the front office’s desire to retain Green led them to trade Jordan Poole to the Washington Wizards. However, Dunleavy did note that the Warriors are comfortable in the knowledge that Chris Paul can fill the void left behind by the 24-year-old sharpshooter.
