What is Jordan Poole’s Current Contract and Will He Earn Over $100 Million After Infamous Draymond Green Punch?
What does Jordan Pooles’ contract situation look like now, after the infamous Draymond Green incident?
How long ago did the Golden State Warriors win the NBA title again?
They say that winning cures everything, but apparently the Stephen Curry franchise is an exception. And it’s especially weird, given the team’s ‘Kumbaya’ culture.
Draymond Green and Jordan Poole have reportedly been known to feud for the past few months. But, the organization chose to do nothing about it, because it never seemed to get out of control…until it got out of control.

This comes at a time when Poole has been in contract negotiations with Golden State. And given the massive impact he’s had during these past few playoffs, his field will surely believe he expects the most.
So how much money can you make on your next contract?
And have things changed at all because of the infamous hit?

Jordan Poole might be asking for a little more than he was asking for before the incident
As it is, Jordan Poole is on a 4-year, $10 million contract extension, which will net him nearly $4 million over the next season.
Like Tyler Herro, he is eligible for $130 million over 4 years from the Warriors. However, given the Dubs’ already high salary tax bill, it was believed that he was ready to reduce it to $100 million.
But now, after the incident, we can’t imagine that JP’s enthusiasm for staying with the Dubs hasn’t been affected. And given how good he was last season, he’s also gotten quite a bit of attention from other franchises.
Long story short, he’s a wanted man and he knows it.
Given the situation, it is likely that Poole’s group will increase the amount of this trade, trying to get a little more from the Warriors. And while it is very unlikely that he will get the maximum of $130 million, we could be looking at $110-$115 million over 4 seasons.
But, that prediction misses a question.
Did Draymond Green’s punch do enough damage to end Jordan Poole’s time in the Bay Area?
Jordan Poole may not be one of those players with an inflated ego, but a normal one is definitely there.
Most people in the world wouldn’t want to go back to a franchise where their own teammate beat them up like that.
Is it possible that if he’s not happy with whatever action is taken against Draymond Green, he chooses to enter free agency next season?
