Definitely bittersweet.. I really loved Poole during our championship season. Things just didn't seem right after that punch.

I have hated Chris Paul ever since the 2013 playoffs and this does not make me happy.

Yea I’ve hated him ever since too. But he does give us the best pg to lead the second unit since Shaun Livingston.

It's crazy seeing CP3 on warriors. Also tbh I liked Poole. He played golfy last year and had a lot of turn overs and bad decisions. But I believe he still has the talent and just needs to play more rational. I feel weird, don't think it was a good trade for warriors.

Not sure why more people dont think this was a dogshit deal for us. I wouldn't have minded if we didn't give up picks

[–] dfl 2 points 2 years ago

Yea.. but I don't think picks in 2027 and 2030 help us win now. Our drafts have been so hit or miss. Our last good draft pick that's contributed regularly was Looney in 2015. McCaw, Jones, Bell, Evans, Paschall, Smailagic, Poole, Jessup, Mannion, Wiseman, Santos, Rollins, Baldwin Jr.... all no longer with the team since 2016. Hopefully we keep Kuminga and Moody. But who knows what Dunleavy will do...
