After Monday’s loss to Golden State, he was asked if he would ever consider returning to the Warriors, Pelicans security guard Jordan Poole did not hesitate, according to Luca Evans of The San Francisco Chronicle.
“yes“You’re half done.”yes. I mean, it feels like home, you know? Driving to thefootball arena, crossing the Bay Bridge… it definitely feels natural. And I think it’s pretty obvious that the way I play is very consistent with the way I played here. Nothing has changed except the systems I’m on. And we won the championship, you know? So it works.”
“So to answer your question?Poole continued after a few words.Undoubtedly. This is my last year on the deal. And I’m a free agent at the end of the season. So you never know what’s going to happen. You just have to figure things out as they go. But if there’s anywhere I’m comfortable, it’s probably where I started.”
Pool, who helped Golden State win the title in 2022, has struggled in the years since being traded to the Warriors in the 2023 offseason. He noted that he had a fifth different manager in the last four seasons and said the 2026/27 season was “very difficult”. The 27-year-old reiterated that he missed being in the Bay Area, Evans wrote.
“me?– You got half.Hell yes. Obviously. I mean they just play it right bro. They play good basketball. They play team basketball. “Obviously it’s a pretty high-level environment. Like I said, once you’ve put in a lot of work, you’ve got the hardware with the team, with the organization, with the city, you’re kind of cemented in the story. So, that’s good. But do I miss it? Hell yeah.”
Poole was infamously traded a year after getting hit in practice Draymond Green. For his part, Green – another future free agent – said Danny Emmerman of The San Francisco Standard that he won’t stand in the way of the organization pursuing a reunion with Poole if that’s what the team is interested in going forward.
“I think he’s an incredibly skilled player, and I’m a grown man” Green said. “I don’t have any problems. I buried the hatchet with problems. So yeah, that’s great. I know he loves the Bay Area. I can only imagine the desire to return to the place where you were called, the place where you had the most success. Yes, it’s amazing.”
Poole, who traded jerseys with other Michigan alumni Yaksel Landeborg said after the game that he still believes he can become a high-level player. Poole added that he still writes from time to time Stephen Currywhich he joked about before the game.
Curry was ready to go after the Warriors won their eighth straight game on Monday Joseph Dykus of The Bay Area News Group.
“Jordan tops the list” Curry said.There aren’t many guys I’ve played with that I wouldn’t welcome back.”
