ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski reported Saturday morning, citing Poole's agents, Drew Morrison and Austin Brown of CAA Sports, that the 23-year-old guard's deal is a four-year deal worth up to $140 million.
Anthony Slater of The Athletic reported shortly after, citing sources, that Poole's extension, which would start for the 2023-24 season, has $123 million guaranteed with incentives that could add an additional $17 million over the life of the contract.
The Warriors were very open about their desire to extend Poole, and a deal had appeared close in recent days after Poole's altercation with Draymond Green in practice last week.
