Jordan Poole Articles - Page 14

It’s safe to say Bob Myers and the front office wish they’d convened with Jordan Poole’s representatives before the Golden State Warriors embarked on their preseason trip to Japan. Two days before the defending champions tipped off training camp on September 24th, the normally evasive Myers shed real light on the status of Poole’s potential […]

One thing Jordan Poole doesn’t lack is confidence. He’d probably bet on himself in a three-point shootout against Stephen Curry. That’s why the Golden State Warriors youngster hasn’t been bashful in trying to bump heads with the big boys from The Bay. The banter is often playful, for sure. But you just know Stephen Curry […]

Klay Thompson and Stephen Curry put on a show as they teamed up in an exhibition three-point contest during the Golden State Warriors’ Japan tour. Thompson and Curry took the win over teammate Jordan Poole, and for his part, Klay could not help but throw a bit of shade at Poole after the matchup. Thompson […]

The Golden State Warriors are the envy of the NBA right now. Even though the Warriors core led by Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson, and Draymond Green are getting up there in years, they still managed to reclaim their throne, holding off the young upstarts Boston Celtics in the 2022 NBA Finals to claim their fourth […]

Draymond Green, Jordan Poole and Andrew Wiggins made abundantly clear at Media Day that potential contract stalemates ahead of free agency next summer won’t get in the way of the Golden State Warriors’ quest for another championship. Just because they’re more focused on winning consecutive titles than signing extensions, though, hardly means the topic of […]

Jordan Poole proved what he’s worth during the Golden State Warriors’ championship run, and maintained on Sunday that there’s “no ceiling” to how much better he can get after a breakout campaign in 2021-22. As his team begins official preparations for the 2022-23 season, though, Poole’s focus seems squarely on winning another title—not the uncertainty […]

Continuity is key to the Golden State Warriors’ hopes of repeating as NBA champions in 2022-23. Barring a significant injury to Stephen Curry or one of his teammates trying to sulk his way out of the Bay, don’t expect Golden State to make any major trades this season. The stakes of back-to-back titles are simply […]

The summer came and went with some of Jordan Poole’s contemporaries getting the type of massive payday he definitely deserves. As the deadline for rookie contract extensions quickly approaches, though, there’s still no indication the Golden State Warriors will lock Poole up long-term before he hits restricted free agency. General manager Bob Myers addressed the […]

The most enduring memory of Jordan Poole’s first playoff run—to opposing fans, at least—is certainly Ja Morant dropping him to the floor en route to a go-ahead floater during a second-round loss to the Memphis Grizzlies. The Golden State Warriors guard was frequently targeted by the likes of Luka Doncic and Jayson Tatum in later […]

Training camp for the 2022-23 season tips off league-wide in a few days, which can only mean one thing: A deluge of NBA player rankings from legacy media outlets. Most prominent among them, of course, is ESPN’s NBArank, back for a 12th consecutive year to fete basketball’s best players and anger fan bases across the […]

Jordan Poole was quite a revelation for the Golden State Warriors last season. There’s no denying that the 23-year-old was integral to the Dubs’ title run and that he’s going to be a key member of this squad this coming season and beyond. Warriors head coach Steve Kerr believes that Poole has it in him […]

Jordan Poole had a breakout season in 2021-22, and there’s no denying that he played a key role in the Golden State Warriors championship run. So much so that the Dubs are expected to face a bit of a headache once Poole hits free agency next summer. Poole has done enough to prove that he […]

Would the Golden State Warriors consider offering extensions to each star on the team? Could Joe Lacob pay Klay Thompson, Draymond Green, Andrew Wiggins, and Jordan Poole? Stephen Curry already has his extension in effect. So extending the others could keep Golden State vying for championships for years to to come. However, Lacob isn’t willing […]

Summer isn’t over, but the Golden State Warriors’ offseason might as well be. The defending champions lost Gary Payton II and Otto Porter in free agency, loathe to increase another massive luxury tax bill to bring back aging bench players. Impactful and effective as they were last season, though, Golden State doesn’t stand to lose […]

At one point over the past few weeks, a sensational return to the Golden State Warriors for Kevin Durant seemed to pick up steam. After KD demanded a trade away from the Nets, the Dubs emerged as a potential landing spot for the former league MVP in a bid to reunite him with former teammate […]

The Brooklyn Nets have been on the hunt for the perfect trade package for Kevin Durant. Ever since the star requested a trade out of the team, teams have put together their best offers for the former MVP winner. However, the front office has been extremely picky in choosing their trade partner. They aren’t keen […]

The Golden State Warriors are ready to defend their title. Barely three weeks after the start of free agency, the reigning champions’ roster is nearing its final form. Kevon Looney is back, Gary Payton II and Otto Porter are out, and Donte DiVincenzo and JaMychal Green are in. Moses Moody and Jonathan Kuminga look poised […]

Jordan Poole was undoubtedly one of the biggest risers from the 2021-22 NBA season. Poole went from a young, unproven prospect to potential Stephen Curry successor thanks to a breakout season that saw him emerge as a dynamic offensive weapon on a Golden State Warriors team that’s well-acquainted with that type of firepower. The best […]

Jordan Poole is fresh off of a strong 2021-2022 NBA season. He showcased his potential and demonstrated the ability to thrive in the NBA. He averaged over 18.5 points per game during the regular season. He held strong during the playoffs with 17 points per contest. He was also efficient from beyond the arc and […]

There’s no doubt that the Golden State Warriors see Jordan Poole as an integral part of their squad not only in the immediate future but for the years to come as well. The 23-year-old had a tremendous campaign last season, emerging as a crucial part of the rotation during what turned out to be a […]

The Golden State Warriors recently came out of nowhere as a potential destination for Kevin Durant after the former league MVP demanded a trade from the Brooklyn Nets. KD’s sensational return to his former team to link up with Stephen Curry and Co. further picked up steam after reports emerged about how both Durant and […]

The “golden” in Golden State is completely fitting for the Warriors coming into this next season. The embarrassment of riches that the team possesses, both financially and basketball-wise, has become the gold standard for the NBA. They claimed the golden trophy at season’s end and will only be better once the next campaign begins in […]

Kevin Durant has virtually taken the entire NBA offseason hostage with his request for a trade from the Brooklyn Nets. Among the many teams inquiring into his services, it’s been reported that his former employer, the Golden State Warriors, at least made the necessary calls to inquire on what it would take to trade for […]

Memphis Grizzlies star Ja Morant opened up once again about their highly intense and physical fight with the Golden State Warriors in the 2022 playoffs, including his controversial “broke the code” tweet that was seemingly directed at Jordan Poole. To recall, Morant was forced to exit Game 3 of the second round showdown due to […]

The Golden State Warriors are fresh off a championship and will be looking to make another run at the title in 2023. However, they’ve already lost a few important pieces in free agency, most notably Gary Payton II and Otto Porter Jr. While it’s not a concern this summer, both Andrew Wiggins and Jordan Poole […]

The Golden State Warriors are an extremely talented team. The trio of Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson, and Draymond Green has now won four NBA titles in the past eight seasons. But Golden State has already lost a couple of key role players in 2022 NBA free agency. Both Otto Porter Jr and Gary Payton II […]

Jordan Poole has been a revelation for the Golden State Warriors. The former late 1st-round draft pick balled out for the Dubs last season. His incredible shooting from deep and silky-smooth handles have led fans to crown him the next “Splash Brother”. Klay Thompson certainly doesn’t disagree with that sentiment. In fact, the Warriors star […]

Celebrating his pivotal role in another Golden State Warriors title less than two years removed from being sent to the G-League, Jordan Poole apparently let champagne do the talking about his forthcoming payday. Jordan Poole: "Where we going?" Andrew Wiggins: "I'm going toooooo… Maf*ckin Spain." JP: "What? What, yes! Yes, we can do that! You […]

No player in the NBA has burnished his reputation over the last 18 months better than Jordan Poole.

According […]

The Memphis Grizzlies and Golden State Warriors may have a budding rivalry, but that didn’t stop Jaren Jackson Jr. from showing love to Jordan Poole. JJJ has been on the headlines as of late after Klay Thompson fired back at him for his antics during their meeting in the second round of the playoffs. Following […]

It goes without saying that Stephen Curry carried the biggest burden in the Golden State Warriors’ run to the 2021-22 NBA title. No lone star, however, no matter how radiant on its own, can ever lift a team to a title without some big-time performances from the players around them. His co-stars certainly had their […]

Stephen Curry and the Golden State Warriors are living the dream. They just won the 2021-22 NBA championship and now have the entire offseason to bask in their success. But best believe Steph Curry and co. already have next season in mind and what it would take to repeat. That’s just the way both the […]

Amid all the celebration surrounding the Golden State Warriors’ championship run, there’s a big elephant in the room: their payroll situation. Jordan Poole and Andrew Wiggins are due to earn a new contract extension soon. With the way the two young guns played, they will likely command more money in the offseason. Naturally, Jordan Poole […]

The Golden State Warriors defeated the Boston Celtics in Game 6, becoming the 2022 NBA Finals champions. Everyone cheering for the Celtics at TD Garden that night was undoubtedly disappointed, but nobody was more upset than Jayson Tatum. The forward led his team through the entire regular season and three full rounds of the playoffs, […]

Does anyone here still remember when Jordan Poole was once labeled as the “worst pick in the draft“? Well, I’d like to hear from the dude that came out with this assessment now that Poole has won his first championship with the Golden State Warriors. For his part, however, Poole appears to have no ill […]

The Golden State Warriors’ 2022 NBA Finals win announced two things to the basketball world. One: Stephen Curry still is THAT guy for this team.

Jordan Poole has been on quite a ride this season with the Golden State Warriors. Right now, the 22-year-old is just one win away from being an NBA champion. On Wednesday, with a little more than 24 hours before the Warriors take on the Boston Celtics in Game 6 of the NBA Finals, Poole opened […]

Andrew Wiggins was the Golden State Warriors’ best player on Monday night as they took Game 5 of the NBA Finals against the Boston Celtics.
