NBA legend and former Golden State Warriors guard Gilbert Arenas recently proposed a wild offseason trade scenario he believes Golden State should consider. During the latest episode of No Chill with Gilbert Arenas, the former NBA star said the following:

"I would see if I could try to get Jordan Poole [traded], and see if we can find someone who is more stable," Arenas said. "Because his game is erratic. It's AAU style. It's a herk and jerk highlight reel type of game where I want to shake you, I need to bake you on every single play. And when you're talking about being great and being consistent, you have to understand how to get easy buckets… Jordan right now, it's 90% of his game. So I'm going to try to move him and maybe if I can move him I can get Jaylen Brown."

The wild offseason scenario did not stop there for Arenas, as he suggested the Warriors should let Draymond Green walk and acquire Ben Simmons:

"If I'm looking at them, I'm going to try to package Poole and Wiggins and see what I can get out of it," Arenas said. "If I can get a strong third option, save money. If I can get rid of Poole and Wiggins, get Jaylen Brown, let Draymond walk, sign Ben Simmons… there are so many options that can happen. It all depends on the mindset and what everyone is thinking."

Needless to say, this offseason scenario will not be happening.
