Golden State Warriors defender Poole renewed contract! According to NBA reporter Wo Shen, Poole and Warriors are about to sign a four-year contract worth $140 million! According to Wo Shen, the signing will be "completed soon".
23-year-old Poole, as the leader of the Warriors' new generation of backcourt, played 76 times for the Warriors last season, with 51 starts, and averaged 18.5 points, 3.4 rebounds and 4.0 assists per 30 minutes per game, with a shooting percentage of 45%, and a three-point shooting percentage of 36%.
Not long ago, during a training session, Poole had a conflict with the Warriors' star power forward Zhu Meng Green, which led to Poole being punched. However, now the two sides have reconciled, Zhu Meng Green was also fined by the Warriors. And the new contract provided by the Warriors to Poole seems to have the meaning of "appeaseing" Poole.
In short, as the Warriors' future backcourt core figure, Poole will stay with the Golden State Warriors for at least 4 years. Even if Curry and Clay retire, Poole will still be the core of this team.
Previously, according to the famous reporter Michael Scott, it is expected that the starting price of Poole's contract renewal will be $120 million in four years. However, the Warriors are willing to give Poole an additional $20 million. Perhaps it also feels that Poole "has suffered a loss" in the conflict with Green , and he will give him a "reward" for this.
As a 28th pick in the first round in 2019, Poole has average talent, but he works hard enough, especially in the Warriors' tactical system, it can be said that it is "like fish in water". In addition to Curry and Thompson , Poole has become the third core of the team's backcourt.
Last season, the Warriors were able to beat Celtics in the finals to win the championship, and Poole also made great contributions. Now Poole has received a contract extension of 140 million yuan, but what about Zhu Meng Green? The hot-tempered All-Star power forward will also face the problem of early renewal, but the Warriors took the lead in renewing Poole, which also means that Zhu Meng Green's early renewal seems to be "standing on the side". After all, compared to Green, Poole, who is only 23 years old, is the Warriors' future backcourt core. The Warriors cannot give up Poole and change their contract with Green in advance. This is probably why Poole's contract extension exceeded expectations.
