The Warriors guard has been struggling in the playoffs, and his underwhelming performances have led to rumors that he may no longer be viewed as a foundational piece for Golden State's younger roster. Poole's four-year, $123M contract extension signed last summer has also raised eyebrows among executives, with one criticizing the team for overpaying him.

Although Poole himself remains confident, stating that "you just take it for what it is," some fans are frustrated with his recent performances. His defensive lapses and poor shooting percentages have led to diminished playing time, forcing the Warriors to look for alternative options.

With Poole's struggles continuing to mount, speculation has emerged that the Warriors could look to offload his contract and negotiate new long-term deals with veterans Draymond Green and Klay Thompson. Whether or not Poole will bounce back in time to save his future with the team remains to be seen.
