Stephen Curry wasn’t very positive about it happening, but it has. A Golden State Warrior has been traded and the people involved have been talking about it on social media. In fact, Curry was so apprehensive and distraught about the trade happening, that he was giving statements about the uncertainty of the situation.
But as we know, trades in the NBA can get confirmed overnight and still change at a moment’s notice. Now that it’s confirmed, however, this particular move is definitely harrowing for Stephen Curry and his teammates.

During their playoff matchup against LeBron James and the Lakers, Steph was asked about his team’s future. Talking about the uncertainty on the Warriors’ roster, Logan Murdock from The Ringer asked Curry what it would take to steady the ship. Steph pointed to this player’s locker and said, “He’s the key.” A few months later, that locker was emptied. Now, the news is confirmed that Jordan Poole will be shipped to Washington in exchange for the veteran point guard Chris Paul.
While CP3 can be a terrific addition to the Warriors roster, Steph might be a little deflated at the loss of the young buck. The experience of learning from Stephen Curry and Klay Thomspon must have been a formidable experience for a young man, even of Jordan Poole’s caliber. And now those talents are going elsewhere.

With a tumultuous off-season, the Warriors will have their work cut out for them as they have a lot of new pieces to work with. But on the other side of the deal, things are looking better.
Will Jordan and Kyle change the game?
Poole recently added to his Instagram story a post by Kyle Kuzma, who he will be joining in Washington. The story was an image shared by SportsCenter, photoshopping the two young athletes in a Wizards jersey.

With Kuzma’s new contract, the duo might be teammates on the Wizards for at least the next 4 years!
Jordan and Kyle coming together could be the beginning of some interesting times over at the Washington Wizards dressing room. The two talents certainly seem excited to play together. Only time will tell if this translates into wins. If they’re successful, this would be great news for the team, and the game in general.
Fans are eager to see Washington return to winning ways as their last championship came in 1978! At that point, neither Kuzma nor Poole were even born. Fans are hoping that the new-look Wizards can turn the tides for the franchise.
