Pelicans: C- I see this as at best a lateral move for the pelicans. Maybe I’m wrong and Poole can be a good fit, but locking yourself into his money while giving up two solid vets and not adding any additional draft compensation seems like a bad idea when the prize is Poole. I will say I do like Sadiq Bey for the Pels

Wizards: B+ Everything I said about the Pels, the inverse can be applied for the wizards. Getting back 2 expiring deals and not giving up any draft compensation is a great way for the Wizards to move off of Poole’s contract, not to mention they now have a ton of cap space for next year so look for the Wizards to be big spenders to complement their young core next offseason
