Am I wrong that Poole is still stinking up the joint from a bench role? And even when he was 1b next to Kuzma as a starter he was still bad; so I don't have high hopes he does better in a similar role here.
He's still a low IQ volume shooter that's way better suited as a tank commander.
I loved him at Michigan but that's as far as it goes. Hard pass; especially for what he is getting paid.
Monk is the better player, comes off the bench already, and has a killer attitude, and plays with ferocity.
He is two years older(26vs24) but I don't care. Monk is amazing athletically besides being a damn good shooter.
Hell, keep Ivey, and sign Monk as the teams Vinny Johnson, and use the Pick+Stewart for a PF upgrade.
Cade/Sasser
Ivey/Monk
Ausar/Grimes
FA/Tek
Duren/Wiseman
Interchangeable pieces all over the damn place.
I’m a sucker for Poole. He was awesome in 2022 playoffs. So he’s proven he can play the well. The Draymond punch really sent things sideways for Poole and the Warriors.
Washington should hold on to him instead of trading him as his value has bottomed out. If we were to trade for him now, I would expect Washington to add some asset. We don’t really have any negative contracts to dump.
If we had even the smallest amount of interest in Poole, the deal would have been made for Bagley and one of the guys we bought out. Bagley + Joe Harris for Poole + picks. There is zero chance we have any interest in Poole... thankfully.
