Kurtenbach: The Warriors bet big on Jordan Poole. They can’t afford to wait for his best game any longer

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 10:09:47 GMT

When the Warriors signed Jordan Poole to a nine-figure contract extension before this season, it was with the belief that he would be the future of the franchise.He might end up being that when his new contract starts after this season.But the Warriors can’t afford to wait on Poole to find his best game any longer.The Warriors need Poole to play like a $100 million player today if this team wants to make something of this 2022-23 campaign.If the Warriors can’t get that, the offseason will be here in a matter of weeks, not months, and the Dubs’ front office (and whomever is running it) might take the extra weeks to re-assess the team’s long-term plans.Now, the expectation for this season was never that Poole would need to make a leap. But the guard plateauing wasn’t expected, either.Related ArticlesGolden State Warriors | Grizzlies hand Warriors their 11th straight road loss Golden State Warriors | Kevon Looney battles through ...
