The Golden State Warriors decision to move on from Jordan Poole 2.5 years ago has once again made headlines in the past 24 hours, largely thanks to the fact the Washington Wizards have been able to eventually parlay that deal into the acquisition of 4x All-Star Trae Young.
But it's also been mentioned by the Warriors themselves, with head coach Steve Kerr admitting some regret at the trade prior to Wednesday's win over the Milwaukee Bucks. That emanates not from what Poole has done in the years since, but for the thrilling and surprise rise of Ryan Rollins who was viewed as an afterthought when the trade initially went down on draft day in 2023.
