Steve Kerr Addresses Future of Jordan Poole at Golden State

POSTED ON MAY 16, 2023 BY SAM PASFIELD


Despite rife trade rumors about Jordan Poole, he still has the support of his
coach Steve Kerr moving forward.

Kerr says he considers his young guard to be a building block at Golden
State, as they look to do better next season after their second round
playoffs exit at the hands at the Lakers.

“Absolutely,” Kerr said. “I called him one of the Foundational Six at the
end of last season, and I still believe that.”



們希望在下個賽季做得更好。

「當然，我在上賽季末稱他是基礎六人之一，我仍然相信這一點。」Kerr說。


Poole signed a $128 million extension last summer, which kicks in this
upcoming season.

The 23-year-old had disappointing performances all season long, which
culminated in a ghosting of sorts during the postseason.

It isn’t just the on-court issues that have these rumors circulating.

Golden State’s governor Joe Lacob and his front office will be dealing with
an untenable luxury tax bill if they don’t move at least one core player
over the summer.

Moving Poole’s $28.7 million salary for next season seems like a good way to
cut costs.




這些流傳的謠言不僅僅是球場上的問題。

如果金州勇士的管理者Joe Lacob和他的管理層在暑假不交易至少一名核心球員，他們將
面臨一項難以維持的奢侈稅法案。

把Poole下個賽季2870萬美元的薪水轉移似乎是削減成本的好方法。


However, Poole hasn’t had an easy eight months.

Kerr knows that a pre-season punch from Draymond Green haunted Poole the
entire season and that when he does play well, he provides vital support for
Steph Curry.

“He helped us win a lot of games,” Kerr said of Poole. “He helped us win a
championship a year ago. He would be the first to admit it wasn’t his best
season. But that’s how these things go. That’s how careers go. As his
coach, it’s my job to help him get better and help him really find his
groove and find a good comfort zone next year.”


然而，Poole的八個月並不輕鬆。

Kerr知道Draymond Green在季前賽中的一記重拳困擾了Poole整個賽季，當他打得好的時
候，他會提供Stephen Curry重要的支援。
