Jordan Poole Deemed “Odd Man Out” In Warriors Trade
8 months agoGolden State Warriors owner Joe Lacob considered guard Jordan Poole "the odd man out" when it came to this offseason's trade for Chris Paul with the Washington Wizards. In reference to the prior tension between Poole and Draymond Green, Lacob believes "it could have worked out". "But I think it is fair to say that in order to make the team work next year, to make the numbers work and so on, someone probably was gonna be the odd man out", Lacob stated in regard to Poole. Golden State's rotation would have featured quite a crowded backcourt had Poole been retained alongside Paul. Instead, the 24-year-old rising star will have a chance to shoulder the offensive load in D.C. with little competition for usage around him in 2023-24.
