It Seems Jordan Poole Had Some Or The Other Issues With Almost All The Warrior Players

Jordan Poole was not well-liked in the Golden State Warriors locker room, as was well known, and those emotions still continue to exist after his trade.

Now that he is playing for the Washington Wizards, fresh information has surfaced regarding the bitter feelings that are still being discussed.

It Seems Jordan Poole Had Some Or The Other Issues With Almost All Warrior Players

Due to a trade involving Chris Paul, Poole left the Warriors and now plays for the Washington Wizards.

Many people believed that the Warriors would find a way to keep Poole, the 19th selection in the 2019 NBA draft, but the awful dynamic he had with the rest of the club was too much to handle.

Nevertheless, it appears like Draymond wasn’t the only member of the Golden State Warriors to have some concerns with Poole. On The Bill Simmons Podcast, Logan Murdock of The Ringer stated that Poole had very few supporters on the squad and that some veterans had an issue with him.

“A lot of the times he was isolated from the group right,” Murdock said. “He had allies on the team, Andrew Wiggins was an ally on the team, (Kevon) Looney, who they both are from Milwaukee was a guy that liked Jordan.”

“All the established guys had some version of a problem with Jordan Poole,” Murdock added. “Whether it was Klay (Thompson) ironically saying that Jordan doesn’t pass the ball enough and shoots too much. And then you have Draymond, who sees Jordan as this guy, is like: ‘Yeah, I did punch him. I did do all these things, but now I don’t have a voice within the locker room because of what happened just now.’ And he has spoken about that on his podcast. And then you have Steph (Curry) who was like trying to bring all of this together and was like, ‘Man, I am behind you Jordan, can you just get right so we can win?'”

Murdock claimed that Stephen Curry genuinely wanted everything to work out, which is why he said it hurt him to see Poole go. But ultimately, things with the other veterans were just too bad.

Poole got a four-year, $140 million agreement less than two weeks after the Green-Poole punching incident, but that was the peak of his campaign.

When questioned about the punch in his departure interview, Golden State coach Steve Kerr acknowledged that “trust was lost” and that the situation had been compromised.

The event undoubtedly had an impact on Poole, and it persisted until the postseason, when he had a forgettable run.
