Dunleavy is getting trashed for this but they needed to shed Poole's of immense proportions salary with the new CBA. Only other option would be to play him another season and see if he could rebuild his value. Will be fascinating to see if cp3 has anything left in the tank.
Having read this quickly, I was wondering what draft picks the dubs had received. Whaaaat??? In addition to Poole, they gave the Wizards a 2nd (next year I think) and a protected 1st down the road. I wasn't crazy about Jerome this year, but he was getting better, and he's young. Paul is a respected player and team mate, but he's hurt half the year and slow a quarter of the year. Maybe he will be helpful in the playoffs.
Poole was also getting better, he could shoot lights out every third game and came to the rescue many times when Curry or Thompson were going down with injuries. Yes, his D needed work, but is the slow and aging Paul that much better? His contract is about same amount as Poole though two years shorter, I think. I don't get it. Hope Dunleavy isn't just going for Duke type guys. Paul didn't go to Duke, but he's a Duke type guy. We recruited him also if I remember correctly.
