The Washington Wizards’s guard Jordan Poole is likely to get traded to the Utah Jazz in the coming days. Generally, when a youngster shows potential, teams inclined towards focusing on the future try to land him. These players are seen as a way out of mediocrity. But the Warriors weren’t struggling; they had short-term goals. They wanted to win now, and that is why they traded Jordan off to the Wizards. The youngster was offered an expensive contract, but he has failed to fit into the system and help the Wizards the way they had expected him to. They are open to trading him this season.
The Jazz has a 4-11 record this season, and they would like to make some changes to their roster. They know that they can upgrade themselves at some positions. Rather than going for a star player, they might land a future star. But Poole is not having a convincing season, and the deal might backfire for the Jazz. Should they take the risk? Here is all the information you need about the trade between the Utah Jazz and the Washington Wizards involving Jordan Poole.
What would the Jazz offer for Jordan Poole?
The Jazz are expected to offer Collin Sexton and Talen Horton Tucker in exchange for the Wizards’ #13. A player should be given some time to settle in a new organization. Should the Wizards wait a little more?

Why would the Wizards trade-off Jordan Poole?
When the Jazz made an offer for Jordan, they expected him to play at an All-Star level. But the 24-year-old is far from being at that level and the Wizards might flip him for two other future prospects due to the same reason.
