3 things the Warriors need to do to get farther next year
Moves the Warriors need to make: 1. Shop Jordan Poole this summer
The Warriors just signed Poole to an extension before last season but a poor postseason will create doubt about his long-term future with the Warriors. Poole never seemed to be a lead guy on any team even when he was at his peak. Now, even with his stock at its lowest point, the Warriors have to consider moving him.
It is probably unreasonable for the Warriors to trade Poole this summer. Still, it might make sense to know where the market is at. Golden State might be in a situation where they can make one last title run if they are able to keep the core together and refill their roster with assets from a Poole trade.
