Will Jordan Poole soon sign a Golden State Warriors contract extension? Via the Bay Area News Group:
The dust is settling after Draymond Green’s scuffle with Jordan Poole and focus is shifting toward an important deadline for Poole before Opening Night next Tuesday.
The Warriors and Poole have until Oct. 17, this Monday, to come to terms on a contract extension. If the two sides don’t come to an agreement, Poole will become a restricted free agent after this season…
Extensions this offseason for Miami’s Tyler Herro and New York’s RJ Barrett — both of whom extended off their rookie deals — set the precedent for Poole’s price.
Herro, a fellow sixth man, signed a four-year, $130 million deal (a contract that’s actually worth $120 million, plus incentives). The Knicks signed Barrett to a four-year, $120 million deal. Expect Poole’s contract to be in that range, closer to Herro’s deal.
It’s anyone’s guess how the recent Dray punch to Poole might affect Poole’s feelings on sticking around. But chances are, long-term contract money from a team that just won the championship and isn’t quite over the hill just yet matters a lot more than a solitary negative incident.
