Given the issues between Draymond and Poole, I think we’ll see one of them leave. If it’s Draymond, maybe he would go to the Lakers for Bamba and Beasley. The money works out and the Warriors would be able to renew their efforts to work on two timelines. With Bronny coming into the league in 2024 and LeBron likely leaving LA to join him, the Lakers are all or nothing next year. That trade would leave them the MLE to sign a wing.

I recall reading that the reason that Draymond punched Poole, at least in part, was because Poole was disrespecting Steve Kerr. If that's the case, then Poole should go. If

Sure, except ain’t nobody gonna take Poole’s contract at 4 yrs/$128mm

I wonder about that. He finished #38 in ppg this past year, and he's only 23. On a points-per-minute basis, he's #21 in the NBA. That's rare, and definitely worth the contract. I would be more concerned about potential malcontent issues, but high-scoring prima donnas are as common as dirt in the NBA.
