The Pelicans are now paying Jordan Poole roughly $66 million for the next two years and Dejounte Murray roughly $95 million for the next three.
But the guard on that team I think I’d want most is Jose Alvarado at $4.5 million. – 4:11 PM

Bobby Marks: Here are the financials (starting in 2025-26) To New Orleans Jordan Poole: $31.8M, $34M, UFA 2027 * $4.25M in unlikely bonuses that count toward the apron Saddiq Bey: $6.2M, $6.5M, UFA 2027 * $333K in unlikely bonuses that count toward the apron To Washington CJ McCollum: $30.7M, UFA 2026 Kelly Olynyk: $13.4M, UFA 2026 -via x.com / June 24, 2025
Shams Charania: The trade swaps guards — the Wizards shifting from Poole to the veteran in McCollum, who has an expiring contract. Washington now is expected to approach $100 million in projected cap space in 2026. Pelicans move younger, possibly more dynamic with Poole and Bey. -via x.com / June 24, 2025
Washington Wizards general manager Will Dawkins and team president Michael Winger had just taken over when they flipped Chris Paul to the Golden State Warriors for a package including Jordan Poole in July 2023. Almost two years later, Poole’s name is swirling in trade rumors, via NBA Big Board’s Rafael Barlowe. “Also worth noting — around the league, there’s growing belief that Jordan Poole could be moved, either on draft night or later this summer,” he reported on Wednesday. “That potential shake-up adds another layer to Washington’s draft strategy and could open up a path for a new backcourt face.” -via Yahoo!
