<\/p>\nAfter a blockbuster offseason trade between the teams in June, it’s fair to say things haven’t panned out too well for the Golden State Warriors and Washington Wizards since.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The Warriors acquired Chris Paul from the Wizards in the hope of boosting their championship aspirations, only to currently sit 12th in the Western Conference with the veteran point-guard currently sidelined by a fractured hand.<\/p>\n
The Wizards brought in Poole hoping that with a starting role and more control of the offense, he could put up numbers akin to an All-Star level player. Instead, the 24-year-old’s numbers are down across the board, and he’s shooting just 41.3% from the floor and 30.8% from three-point range.<\/p>\n
Poole’s play hasn’t screamed staple of Washington’s future, particularly given his addition has done nothing to prevent the team’s current 7-35 record. According to The Athletic’s Shams Charania, Poole is one of a number of players who could be moved by the Wizards before the February 8 trade deadline.<\/p>\n
“The reality is there’s one player that is off the table for the Wizards, and that’s their top pick in last year’s draft, Bilal Coulibaly.”<\/p>\n
For those wondering, under NBA rules the Warriors cannot move to re-acquire Poole until the completion of this season — it’s a fanciful idea regardless. Golden State may however have interest in Poole’s teammate Kyle Kuzma, having been linked to the forward last week.<\/p>\n
Despite many believing Poole would come in and be the key offensive engine for Washington, it’s Kuzma who’s taken increased responsibility following the offseason departures of former All-Star guard Bradley Beal and talented big man Kristaps Porzingis.<\/p>\n
The 28-year-old is averaging a career-high 22.2 points and 4.2 assists per game. Washington reportedly desire multiple future first-round picks for Kuzma, with a number of teams set to be interested before the deadline.<\/p>\n
The chances of Poole getting moved are likely more remote, with his four-year, $128 million contract widely viewed as an overpay based on his production with the Wizards so far this season.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
