Golden State Warriors: 3 Jordan Poole replacements to consider
By Tony Pesta
Caris LeVert
This is a more complicated one.
In order for this to be logical for both the Cleveland Cavaliers and Golden State Warriors, we need a third team involved.
Perhaps the Sacramento Kings could satisfy everybody, dealing Harrison Barnes to Cleveland while acquiring Poole from Golden State.
A simpler path is signing LeVert in the summer, as his deal expires at the end of the season.
However it gets done, Caris LeVert is one of the players the Warriors should be considering as a replacement for Poole.
LeVert is a 6’6″ guard with strong defensive abilities. He can score the ball in a variety of ways, averaging 17.0 points per game last season. LeVert is not as good of a shooter as Poole but can match his output as a playmaker.
Overall, LeVert’s versatility and size make him the most natural and feasible replacement for Poole.
