The Golden State Warriors gave the New Orleans Pelicans a beatdown, and one of their former teammates was on the other side of the mayhem. It was Jordan Poole, who helped the Warriors win their NBA title in 2022, and seemed to be the future of the franchise until things got sour between him and Draymond Green the following year.

That's when the Warriors traded Poole to the Washington Wizards, and after two seasons with them, he was traded to the Pelicans. Since then, Poole hasn't been able to find his footing with neither team, but if there was ever a chance for him to return to the Warriors, he'd do it in a heartbeat.

“Yes … it feels like home,” Poole said via Joseph Dycus of The Mercury News.

Even Stephen Curry and Draymond Green would welcome Poole back to the organization.

“That would be incredible. That’s one of the one things I look back at my career and just kind of …,” Green said. “I have no issue with that at all. I will never stand in the way of this organization thinking they can better themselves. The issue will never be me. Ever.”

“Jordan is at the top of the list,” Curry said. “There aren’t many guys I’ve played with that I wouldn’t welcome back.”

Poole brought a new energy to the Warriors when he was with them, and everybody remembers the crazy shots and swifty moves he would make on the court to get the crowd hype.

“I was a baby, essentially,” Poole said via the Bay Area News Group. “I was really young, so just learning about the city, learning about the things that I like to do, and kind of growing up here definitely makes it nostalgic when I come back.”

Now, Poole is barely seeing minutes with the Pelicans, and it wouldn't be a surprise if he were traded. In the event that happens, the Warriors might be the ones on the phone.
