The Warriors are now facing salary pressure and need to make a choice between Poole and Wiggins. Comparing their performance during the Finals, Wiggins' role, is much higher than Poole's.

Wiggins is to enter the NBA as a first-round pick, his talent is undoubtedly far stronger than Poole, and even Curry's talent, is far less than Wiggins. This gap can not catch up by numbers, last season's finals, is the best proof of Wiggins' performance, almost hanging the Celtics' double scout.

In the battle of Pennant Hill, which determines the trend of the game, Curry is sluggish, Kay is out of shape, and Poole is difficult to be a big task, when Wiggins stood out, he got 26 points, 13 rebounds, 2 steals and 1 cap, filling 5 data columns, while putting Tatum, who has the name of Kobe's passer, defending out 4 triple dips, Brown is also difficult to get shots under his defense.

Relying on Wiggins' dominance on both the offensive and defensive ends, the Warriors only won the game until they won the championship, and the Warriors once again had the opportunity to hit the three-peat. In the moment, compared to Poole, it is obvious that Wiggins' immediate power is stronger and more helpful to the Warriors, so if you choose 1 of 2 between the two of them, you can only give up Poole.

According to sources, the Warriors have made a choice, is in contact with the Nicks management, is making every effort to facilitate a 4 for 1 deal, if the negotiations go well, the deal is expected to be reached in the near future, the specific possible trade program for

The Warriors send: Poole.

Get the Nicks: Grimes, 2023 first-round pick, 2024 first-round swap rights, 2025 first-round pick.

This offer, the Nicks' sincerity is very sufficient, in order to solve the salary problem, the Warriors can hardly refuse, the value of the Nicks 3 first-round picks is very valuable, almost the same value as the Lakers' first-round picks, enough for the Warriors to select more rookies, so they can continue to enjoy the benefits of rookie "child labor contracts", but also to get ready to play. The Warriors can continue to enjoy the benefits of their rookie "child labor contract" while still getting ready to compete.

Grimes was born in 2000, is 1m93, weighs 95kg, ESPN early projection for him, is the first round, the 4th pick, but unfortunately due to injuries, and college transfer fiasco incident, in the NCAA played an extra year, Grimes finally in 2021, the first round 25 picks before being selected. His fundamentals are solid, his body is strong, his hands are soft, and his speed is fast, and his impact is good enough to compare with Willard's in his first year in the league.

Last season, Grimes averaged 6 points, 2 rebounds, and 1 assist per game, shooting 40.4% from the field and 38% from 3-point range. Just looking at the stats, it might give a mediocre feeling and not much to shine. But he has a high ceiling. The Nicks got Mitchell in the Mitchell trade because they refused to include him, and only then did the Knights get Mitchell.

In the Nicks' home game against the Alphabet-led Bucks last season, Grimes played a representative game, playing 39 minutes, shooting 9 of 17 from the field, including 7 of 13 from three-point range, and 2 of 2 from the free throw line, getting 27 points, 3 rebounds, 3 assists, and 3 steals of comprehensive data. 7 threes also created the Nicks' team history, the record for the number of three-point shots made by a rookie in a single game.

He stepped on the alphabet strong, let people brighten up, Grimes way of playing, can let him play around anyone, he is a can play without the ball and hold the ball wing, he came to the warriors, can quickly integrate into the team, increase the depth of the bench, although temporarily can not replace the role of Poole, but just need the warriors to give him the opportunity, he will be able to become the team to win the championship helper.

Poole came to New York, can get 4 years 149 million top salary in the Nicks, his role, but also worth the Nicks top salary to sign him. Poole is a scorer who has the ability to score on his own and is very efficient. Ball-handlers are still worth a lot of money in this day and age, especially if they are excellent from three.

He has been treated as Curry's successor in the Warriors to cultivate, from 8.8 points per game "cold shooter", to 18.5 points, Curry also had to play for him on the bench, he only used 3 years. The opportunity to perform in the Nicks, will be far more than in the Warriors, he will get more tactical position, according to this development, an average of 20 + data, play into the All-Star, is no problem at all. The rare thing is that he also has championship experience, which will make his future bright.

The Nicks may have some losses without Mitchell, but the arrival of Poole is enough for them to make up for the loss of not getting Mitchell. Poole and Mitchell are both point guards, and both are about as efficient on the court, Poole is also cheaper than Mitchell, and has no bad temper on the court, and is also willing to work. .

Poole came to the Nicks, can form a luxury starting lineup of Bronson, Poole, Candle, Barrett, Robinson, plus the MVP has to live Rose's help, they are enough to play in the playoffs.

The deal, which is also very friendly to Poole and the Nicks, is a win-win-win deal, and either party has a reason to agree.
