When the Golden State Warriors traded away Jordan Poole, most fans believed it was a decision to keep the team’s core together. Acquiring Chris Paul as part of the deal also made the decision more palatable.
However, according to Jason Dumas, who was speaking on 97.5 The Game, Steve Kerr may have driven the decision to part ways with Poole. Dumas noted how the Warriors’ head coach may have grown tired of the young guard’s complaints regarding his role within the rotation.
“I honestly think the relationship between him and Steve was more of what got him traded than his relationship with him and Draymond Green,” Dumas said. “I just think he was kinda fed up with the fact that Jordan was kinda huffin’ and puffin’ that he wasn’t in the right role for him. I think that had more to do with him being moved than that punch. The punch didn’t help and his relationship with Draymond wasn’t great, but I think Steve was more fed up than anything.”

Poole’s departure from the Warriors has been widely discussed in recent weeks, with some reports noting the young guard had irked multiple members of the Warriors’ core. However, any potential rift didn’t stop Steph Curry from taking to Instagram to wish his former teammate well in his new surroundings.
Poole now finds himself in a new situation where he can become the lead ball-handler and offensive weapon with the Wizards. Hopefully, Poole can continue to develop his game and make good on his potential away from the bright lights of the Chase Center.
