Vice President Kamala Harris, an avid Golden State Warriors fan, took to Twitter to welcome Jordan Poole to Washington D.C. following a blockbuster trade. Harris expressed her fondness for Poole and shared a photo of them together during the Warriors' visit to the White House in January 2023. She acknowledged Poole's talent and conveyed her best wishes for his future with the Wizards.


Poole, a 23-year-old guard, had spent his entire career with the Warriors, contributing significantly to their championship victory in 2022. He averaged 18.5 points per game in the regular season and 12.8 points per game in the playoffs.


The trade that sent Poole to the Wizards also involved promising young players Patrick Baldwin Jr. and Ryan Rollins. In return, the Warriors acquired Chris Paul, a revered player destined for the Hall of Fame, who continues to perform at an elite level.

This trade marks a significant shakeup for both teams. The Warriors are hopeful that Paul's presence will contribute to another championship run, while the Wizards aim to build a competitive team around Poole and their other talented young players.

The Wizards recently unveiled a sneak peek of Poole donning their team uniform. As Poole embarks on a new chapter in the capital city, Chris Paul, accompanied by the experienced Warriors core comprising Curry, Klay Thompson, and Draymond Green, will strive to secure his first NBA championship.
