The defending champion Golden State Warriors will certainly make changes to their roster this summer after being eliminated by the Lakers, and Warriors management will do everything they can to recruit big-name stars on the trade market to help the Splash Brothers attack the championship again. Spare is what management has high hopes for, and Poole is likely to be a backup that management packs up and sends away this summer. Poole, known as Curry's successor, signed a $140 million contract extension with the Warriors, but his performance in the playoffs was disappointing, and he and the Splash brothers also overlapped when they were on the floor at the same time and could not play the offensive firepower of the three, and it was reasonable for the Warriors to put Poole on the trade shelf!
According to the Bleacher Report, Warriors management is likely to strike a 3-for-1 deal with the Clippers this summer involving Poole. The specific content of this deal is for the Warriors to send the Warriors to give: Jordan Poole, Jonathan Kuminga, Moses Moody three players as trade chips to get their second-in-command Paul George from the Clippers. After being eliminated by the Suns in the first round, Clippers owner Ballmer is likely to make up his mind to send away the two Glass Men this summer, with superstars Paul George and Leonard starting a complete rebuilding plan. Although the Warriors did not give away any first-round picks as trade chips in this deal, Poole, Kuminga and Moody are all very promising young players, George is averaging 23.8 points, 6.1 rebounds, 5.1 assists and 1.5 steals per game this season, shooting 45.7% from the field and 37.1% from three-point range, but statistically, George is still worthy of his $170 million worth. Personally, I think that if this deal is a deal, the Warriors and Clippers can be said to have their own needs, and the Clippers have acquired a lot of potential young players through this deal, laying the foundation for future reconstruction. And the Warriors got a star-level player like George with super combat power to assist the Splash Brothers to compete for the championship!
George, like Leonard, is a rare offensive and defensive player, not only has excellent individual offensive ability, but also has outstanding one-man defensive ability. Affected by age and injuries, the Splash Brothers' competitive status has shown a downward trend, and Curry and Klay need players like Paul George who are in their playing years and are well-rounded offensive and defensive to join and keep the team's combat effectiveness unaffected. And Paul George, who left the Clippers, is also likely to come to the Golden State to hold the thighs of the Splash Brothers and attack the championship again. After Paul George came to the Warriors, the Warriors management is likely to open a trade for Wiggins, Eli was joined by George to free up enough salary space, and secondly, he wanted to use Wiggins' chips to get more powerful players for the Warriors.
I personally think if the Warriors get Paul George with such a low trade offer. Forming the Big Three lineup of George Plus Splash, the Warriors' hopes of winning the championship next season are still very big. And the super high ticket revenue of the Warriors' home stadium can also cover their huge luxury tax! So as long as the Clippers are willing to put Paul George on the trade shelf, the Warriors will definitely pursue George fiercely.
