At the start of this past offseason, the Washington Wizards elected to move on from Jordan Poole and officially end the two-year long Poole Party in the DMV.
The move came with the Wizards landing veteran guard CJ McCollum and Kelly Olynyk in exchange for Poole and forward Saddiq Bey, as well as draft capital exchanged between the two teams.
When the deal originally ocurred, it seemed safe to say the selling point for Washington was the possibility to land one of the best veteran presences in the NBA, in McCollum, who brought his expiring contract to Washington giving the team financial flexibility moving forward.
