One Western Conference executive speculated that if Myers left, coach Steve Kerr may soon follow.Īdditionally, Green can opt out of his contract for next season at $27.6 million and might if another team is willing to offer him a sizable deal. Some think he may move on to the recent opening in Washington with the Wizards. Widely viewed around the league as one of the top executives, his future may determine the team's next course of action. But Golden State may choose to hold on to what they have for as long as possible, and that may signal an early end to Poole's tenure with the team.īob Myers, the team's president of basketball operations and general manager, is nearing the end of his contract and may not be back after this season. The new rules seem to be a direct message to the Warriors to slow their spending, which could lead to the end of an era. "He's earning more than Wiggins, and Wiggins is way more valuable than Poole." At least then, they'd know what his contract would mean to their situation," the Eastern Conference executive continued. They could have given him the same money this summer. "I don't know why the Warriors rushed to overpay him. Most polled sources had expected the Warriors to wait until the new collective bargaining agreement to be negotiated before giving Poole an extension.
"He doesn't defend, doesn't really create for others and that Draymond incident wasn't a great look for either of them," another said, referring to Green punching Poole before the start of the season. "He's empty calories," one Eastern Conference executive said. Poole is generally viewed around the NBA as a talented scorer, which makes sense given his career-high 20.4 points per game this season.īut several competing executives wonder how much his offensive talent leads to winning, given what he doesn't bring on the defensive end.
