The Golden State Warriors had a tumultuous NBA offseason, with the departure of long-time executive Bob Myers and the decision to move on from Jordan Poole, their former first-round pick.
Poole played a significant role in the team’s 2022 success but was traded to the Washington Wizards due to financial constraints.
The Warriors made the move to free up salary cap space, as the league’s new CBA deal penalizes high-salary teams like Golden State.
However, despite the trade, Poole remains close with Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson. Recently, pictures of Poole working out with Curry and Thompson, along with Seth Curry, surfaced on social media.
The bond between these players is evident, as they faced challenges together on their journey from winning only 15 games one season to becoming champions two years later.
Although Poole had some struggles in his final season with the Warriors, he was still an important part of the team’s success, thanks in part to the guidance and mentorship of the Splash Brothers. With Poole now gone, Curry took time to thank him for his contribution to the Warriors.
“Yo so, now that the trade is actually final, I felt like I needed to come on here and just say, JP, how much I appreciated the four years brother,” Curry said.
“You’re a champion. You grew up right in front of everybody’s face in terms of, you know, that first year where it was rough – a lot of injuries, just trying to find your way to going to the G League and coming back and helping us finish 15-5 down the stretch of your second year to us winning a championship your third year and fighting till the end this past year.”
