First let’s start out with Warriors guard Jordan Poole, Poole and the Golden State Warriors have agreed to a four year extension worth $140 Million Dollars which averages out to $35 million a year. Poole has been a great developmental player for the Warriors in his three years with the team, the Warriors guard is going into his fourth year and will be making $4 million dollars before his extension kicks in the summer of 2023.
The Warriors have seen a steady increase in Poole’s averages over the last three years with Poole averaging 8.5 points on 33% shooting as a rookie, then averaged 12.0 points on 43% shooting in 2020-21 and increased his average again to 18.5 points on 45% shooting last season. With Poole being seen as the third splash brother and a key piece to this organization for the future there was no question Jordan was going to get this extension after playing a big part to help the Warriors in the Championship last season.
Now for Warriors forward Andrew Wiggins he signed a smaller deal with the club which was a four year deal worth $109 million and Wiggins will now be tied to the Warriors for the next half decade for $143 million which averages out to just under $30 million a year which is a steal for a player of Wiggins stature and overall play on the court.
Wiggins is now entering his third year with the Warriors after being traded for in the 2020 offseason for now Timberwolves guard D’Angelo Russell, at first most media and fans were outraged by the Warriors trade and how Wiggins was on a bad contract in Minnesota but after two strong seasons with the Warriors that narrative has quickly flipped as to know this new extension with the Warriors is now considered to be a team friendly contract and with Wiggins leaving over $10 million a year on the table it’s no secret Wiggins has really found himself a place to call home and he has said multiple times how much he values this organization.
