Warriors, Jordan Poole finalizing 4-year, $140M extension

The Golden State Warriors and guard Jordan Poole are finalizing a four-year, $140 million contract extension, his agents, Drew Morrison and Austin Brown of CAA Sports, told ESPN on Saturday.

The sides are finalizing the details on the rookie scale extension Saturday, and a formal agreement is expected later in the day, Morrison and Brown said.

Poole's extension comes ahead of Monday's deadline for members of the 2019 NBA draft class. It also comes in the aftermath of Draymond Green's punch of Poole during a recent practice session that shook the franchise.

Poole, 23, has emerged as one of the best young guards in the league, and his extension represents a commitment to him as one of the Warriors' cornerstones for years to come. Poole, the 28th overall pick in 2019, has developed into a significant offensive weapon for the defending NBA champions.
