Cap space is the most valuable asset the wizards will have in the next few years. Poole hurts that in future years. With the new second apron, teams will be desperate to unload contracts and absorbing them should net picks. Even this trade is allowing the warrior to resign Draymond- that’s worth more than a protected pick in 2030
Got a second round pick also and someone more fun to watch than CP3 or Beal. Poole is only 25. They will still have plenty of cap space after this year. As noted there is a salary floor now to be aware of.
