Jordan Poole and his team are supposed to be in talks with Bob Myers and company as the contract extension expires on Oct. 17.
The Golden State Warriors are back home after spending nearly a week in Japan. The defending champions were in Tokyo for the NBA Games in Japan. They played two preseason games against the Washington Wizards at the Saitama Super Arena.
Since Klay Thompson sat out both games, Jordan Poole started in his place. Poole has become an indispensable part of this group of Warriors.
Playing as the perfect sixth man, he can take on the role of a shooter or point guard. He is one of the best finishers at the rim in this league and can shoot from anywhere on the floor.

The only key weakness in Poole’s game was his defense, and he has been working on the same. With Jordan entering the final year of his rookie deal, he is due an extension before he starts the season or he becomes a restricted free agent next summer. JP would use this season to show how complete his game is and what he brings to the table.
Warriors fans are confused after seeing Jordan Poole’s Instagram story
By now, every Warriors fan knows who Jordan Poole is and how important he has become to the team. Putting up 18.5 points per game, he is a viable scoring option as well as a shot creator. With his contract extension up, everyone knows he deserves a bag.
Until now, the standard used was a $100 million, 4-year deal, like the Blazers offered Anfernee Simmons, or what the Knicks had offered Jalen Brunson or RJ Barrett. However, Tyler Herro signs a 4-year, $130 million deal and changes everything.
As soon as the news broke, JP shared the same thing on his Instagram story with the caption ‘414!’

The 414 shows his connection to Milwaukee, and Poole could be congratulating Herro. However, it could also be an indicator for Bob Myers and company.

Myers had discussed how he would interact with Poole and his team once they returned from Japan. With 2 weeks to go, we’ll have to wait and see how things pan out.
