This team needs defense and height, neither of which poole provides. 1 game and people forget his 2 years of suck.

1 punch and most fans forgot all he did to help GS win the title in '22.
And it's not just 1 game, he is having a pretty good season after digging himself out of the hole Draymond put him in.
Since choosing to not hold Draymond accountable for his actions this team has been on a slow slide to meh. They missed the playoffs last season and are barely a play-in team this season.

It could be interesting to trade for Poole and Nurkic and let Draymond to figure it out 

I should be on Lacob payroll...

Yep. We don't win '22 without him. And for all his "suck" a 20 ppg scorer shooting over 40% who can create his own shot would be nice rn

To use Draymond’s favourite word, Poole was ‘incredible’ in the Denver series that year.

The question with Poole isn't "can he". It's "will he".
pass.

My biggest problem with Poole wasn't even his defense (which was admittedly terrible), it was for a long stretch he was an absolute turnover machine in crunch time. Like you couldn't play him to close games (a shame because he's an elite free throw shooter) because every time he was throwing the ball away, dribbling off his foot, stepping out of bounds, offensive fouls...just brutal, repeatedly snatching defeat from the jaws of victory.

I totally forgot how bad it was in 23. **** was just laughable at how we would lose.

Draymond said on his podcast it was 3 years ago, he apologized, Poole should move on.
