Jordan Poole is undoubtedly one of the most exciting talents in the NBA. However, his inconsistency on the court saw the win-now Golden State Warriors abruptly trade him to the Washington Wizards for Chris Paul. To add insult to injury, just weeks after the trade, the Dubs dropped $100,000,000 to resign Draymond Green, a player he had some beef with. However, rather than wallowing in misery, JP is celebrating the good things in his life, congratulating his new teammate Kyle Kuzma via Instagram, on his new $102,000,000 contract.

Hours before the exciting news, Green took a sly shot at Poole. In a video, he shared while attending Capital One’s The Match, Draymond can be seen selecting a team of current NBA players. He already had stars like Darius Garland and Lauri Markkanen. But, when the Washington Wizards came up, he started laughing hesitantly and decided to go with Kuzma. An obvious dig at his former teammate.
Jordan Poole excitedly congratulates new teammate Kyle Kuzma on his new contract
To the naked eye, things aren’t exactly going well for Jordan Poole. One year removed from his first and only championship win and Poole has been traded away from the Golden State Warriors. The Dubs decided that JP was surplus to requirements and decided to trade him for veteran guard Chris Paul. However, rather than feel bad for himself, Poole seems to be excited about the new opportunity.
The Washington Wizards, the team he has been traded to are currently going into rebuild mode. And, with the team looking to acquire young talents, Poole fits the mold perfectly. He is a young star who could ideally be the centerpiece of the Wizards franchise.
But, he isn’t the only talisman in Washington. Kyle Kuzma is also another youngster in their arsenal. And, with how he performed over the last season, the team has decided to reward him with a $102,000,000 contract. A huge deal and one that Poole is excited about, congratulating his new teammate via social media.
It’s great to see Poole showing so much enthusiasm about his new opportunity. Hopefully, he finds great success with the team and can help lead them into the new era.
Poole’s former teammate Draymond Green has a lot to celebrate as well with his new contract
Jordan Poole is sure excited about his new partner’s contract, but one of his old ones got a major deal as well. His former teammate Draymond Green also signed a new team-friendly contract with the Golden State Warriors. A new four-year deal worth $100,000,000 is sure to keep the Dubs competitive.
It sure is an exciting time for both Poole and Draymond. And, given their “violent” history, there is sure to be even more excitement when the Dubs match up against the Wizards next season.
