Jordan Poole has three seasons and $95 million remaining on the four-year, $128 million extension he signed with the Golden State Warriors before the 22-23 season.
Zach Lowe writes that Poole’s contract could be the “worst” one in the NBA.
The Warriors sent Poole and a protected 2030 first round pick to the Washington Wizards for the expiring contract of Chris Paul. The outlay the Warriors sent to the Wizards was a signal even then that Poole’s contract was viewed as a net negative.
Poole is averaging just 16.3 points this season with a TS% of .513. When Poole had a breakout season in 21-22, he had a TS% of .598 while averaging 18.5 points.
Poole, who can be a free agent in 2027, is represented by Drew Morrison and Austin Brown.
