Were Jordan Poole and Draymond Green Still Unsettled in Golden State? Third Splash Brother’s State of Mind a Week Before the Wizards’ Trade

Apart from the Draymond Green-Chris Paul feud for the dominant position and a seat in the starting five, it?s just the beginning of the drama. If we go back in time, this feud wouldn?t be registered if it wasn?t for the locker room ?punch?.

The organization that is always in the limelight, along with the 24*7 highest level of basketball headlines, acquired CP3 for the franchise, but at what cost? Or maybe it?s not about adding value, but rather a damage control over the Draymond-Poole dispute.

Enrolled in a New Situation: Jordan Poole

In an article on ?The Ringer?, Logan Murdock started explaining how the ?team-altering? dynamic erupted and then escalated. In a conversation with Murdock, Poole said: ?I belong in this organization, bridging the gap. We won a championship (in 2022), so we got another chance with our guys to do it again.??

As mentioned in the article, this discussion was done when Poole was on a trip to London and the Swiss Alps; however, it didn?t quite clear his head with the news he received just a week into it. Poole claims he got a call from new GM Mike Dunleavy Jr. and yes, he got traded to the Washington Wizards.

The ?third splash brother? however has a positive outlook towards the trade, saying: ?We have got a new course, we have got new classes, we are enrolled in a new situation. I feel prepped.??

This sharp mind is not going to settle for less, and that?s something the Wizards can bet on. However, the beef with Draymond did get to be the juicy headlines of many tabloids.

The Third Splash Brother Traded for the Second Oldest: Damage Control

Jordan Poole was averaging 20.4 points, 2.7 rebounds, and 4.5 assists up until last season. The trade did do something good for the guard, as he hit headlines with a whooping score of 41 points, 5 rebounds, and 2 assists in his 27 minutes on the hardwood this preseason.

However, his performance was not even close to this level, with the Green-Poole controversy looming large last season as the Warriors got eliminated in the second round by the Lakers. Hence, the choice between Draymond Green and JP was inevitable.

Now, after being traded, the guard still has to work on his defense. Because his defense might be his downfall with the Wizards. Not only that, he now has the eyes of all the best opponents in the entire league, leaving him with no choice but to strengthen the weakest links in his game?s chain because he is now the golden egg.
