New Wizards player, Jordan Poole will try to relaunch his career in the Capital after a difficult experience with the Warriors. The altercation with Draymond Green has left its mark, as an insider recently revealed. But it’s not just that…
After a bad season and a falling out with Draymond Green, Jordan Poole paid the pots for the Warriors. The franchise has decided to send him to the side of the Wizards, in particular in exchange for Chris Paul, proof that the organization wants to give everything to win a title. But you have to believe that the front office no longer had confidence in Poole for that.
The reason for Jordan Poole’s departure revealed?
We imagine that does not bother the back, who has had many problems with the veterans this season. We obviously think of Green, never sanctioned for his attack on his teammate even before the start of the exercise. But according to information from Logan Murdock, close to the Dubs, Klay Thompson and Steph Curry also had differences with Poole. He spoke on the Bill Simmons podcast.
“Failing to suspend Draymond Green for the punch started to ruin the trust between Jordan Poole and the rest of the organization. For a long time, Poole was quite isolated from the rest of the group. But he still had a few allies in the team, like Andrew Wiggins. Kevin Looney was also there for Jordan. »

“But the guys who had been there for a while were something else, like the guys who already had a problem with Poole before that. There was Klay Thompson who, very ironically, found that Jordan wasn’t passing the ball and was taking shots on the field too often. »
Klay Thompson therefore also had problems with Poole, but he was not the only one. Steve Kerr, given his recent statement, will not regret the rear. Murdock goes on in the podcast to explain that Green’s behavior didn’t help, while Steph Curry gave up.
« And then there was Draymond Green, saying things like, ‘Yeah I punched him, I did all that but now I don’t have a voice in the locker room after what happened.’ He even talked about it in his podcast. There is also Steph Curry, who tried to round everyone up after this incident. »
« He was kind of like, ‘I’m behind you Jordan. Can we find a way to win now? …Steph really wanted to make it work with Jordan, but after a while it was too late. »
Even the veterans therefore did not have a good understanding with Poole, which confirms that his departure is not only linked to his performance on the floor. It remains to be seen whether the Dubs will regret it in the future.
Steph Curry, Klay Thompson and Draymond Green: they all had a problem with Jordan Poole. And when you put the pillars of the workforce on your back, it’s no wonder you pay the price. The fullback can now relaunch at the Wizards, with the firm intention of getting revenge.
