Wizards absolutely fleeced the Pelicans in Jordan Poole trade

The Washington Wizards started the offseason off with a bang becoming one of the first teams to get active on the trade market.

Flipping Jordan Poole's contract and Saddiq Bey in a package along with draft capital to land CJ McCollum, Kelly Olynyk and a future second-round pick.

Washington's motive was more or less finally landing an adequate veteran presence to lead the backcourt after the team's failed Malcolm Brogdon experiment.

However, the idea of finally moving on from Poole's contract was too good to be true following his career year for the Wizards.
