From Poole's latest piece:
Quote:The Warriors like Kelly Oubre Jr. They really do. They will like him even if they move him before the NBA trade deadline hits at noon PT on Thursday.They love his defensive intensity, his athleticism and his toughness. Oubre is fearless, and there isn’t one player or coach or manager on earth that doesn’t appreciate a “ride-or-die” teammate.
Yet the Warriors will trade Oubre without remorse if the right deal comes along. Why? Why would they even consider losing a young, 6-foot-7 wing with so many valued assets in a league where no position, perhaps besides point guard, is more essential?
Because Oubre, 25, is set to be an unrestricted free agent after the season, and there is no unanimous agreement on whether he is a long-term keeper. On a franchise placing a much higher priority on its future than its present, that makes him expendable
Josh Green is a top 5 Mavs player...
