The Washington Wizards guard Jordan Poole is likely to get acquired by the Memphis Grizzlies in the coming days. The youngster was traded by the Golden State Warriors recently, and now, after a few games, the Wizards are open to trading him as well. When the Wizards offered Jordan a huge contract, they expected him to play at an All-Star level and change the dynamic of their squad. But things didn’t go according to plan, and they are already open to trading him off.
One team that could really benefit from the youngster is the Memphis Grizzlies. They have been struggling pretty badly this season. They would fancy landing somebody who can help them get back to winning ways so that when their key players return, they still have a chance to make it to the playoffs. Jordan has been to his ultimate best or the level he was expected to be at, but he is still doing great. Should the Wizards wait, or should they let him go? Here is all the information you need about the trade between the Memphis Grizzlies and the Washington Wizards involving Jordan Poole.
What would the Grizzlies offer for Jordan Poole?
The Grizzlies are expected to offer Luke Kennard, Brandon Clarke, and one first-round pick each from the years 2024 and 2026 in exchange for the Wizards’ #13. Should the Grizzlies make a bet on a player whose current team is sitting at the same spot on the table as them?

Why would the Grizzlies like to sign Jordan Poole?
The Grizzlies have started the season with a 3-12 record. Ja Morant is serving a suspension, and Brandon Clarke is not likely to be available this season. The Grizzlies would love to land a potential superstar who can lead the way before Ja Morant takes over.
