The Washington Wizards’ guard Jordan Poole is likely to get traded by his current team after playing only 14 games. The Wizards acquired the 24-year-old from the Warriors and offered a huge contract. But the youngster couldn’t live up to the expectations and the Wizards are open to trading him.
Poole is still a great player but we don’t know how long it would take him to play at an All-Star level. The Wizards don’t want to wait to find the answer and they are listening to offers for their guard. Here are 5 teams we think can make a push to land Jordan Poole on their roster.
5 Potential Wizards Jordan Poole Trade Deal
1. Jordan Poole to the Charlotte Hornets
The Hornets would like to pair the young guard with LaMelo Ball. They are likely to offer Terry Rozier, James Bouknight, and a 2026 first-round pick in exchange for the Wizards’ #13. The Wizards will get a veteran along with future assets in this deal while the Hornets would strengthen their backcourt.
2. Jordan Poole to the Miami Heat
The Heat are expected to offer Nikola Jovic and a 2027 first-round pick in exchange for the Wizards’ guard. Jordan can be the prospect for the Heat while they continue their hunt to be a powerhouse.

3. Jordan Poole to the Memphis Grizzlies
Brandon Clarke has a torn Achilles tendon. The Grizzlies need a scoring guard and they might offer Brandon Clarke, Luke Kennard, and a first-round pick from the years 2024 and 2026 to land one from the Wizards. Grizzlies have been performing well this season. They need quality on the bench as well.
4. Jordan Poole to the New York Knicks
The Knicks can offer Evan Fournier, Quentin Grimes, and a 2024 first-round pick for the 24-year-old. The Knicks need a franchise player and Jordan might fill that slot for them.
5. Jordan Poole to the New Orleans Pelicans
The Pelicans are speculated to offer Larry Nance, Dyson Daniels, Kira Lewis, and Jordan Hawkins to land a future star. The Pelicans are looking forward to having a stronger offense.
