After playing a huge role in the Golden State Warriors winning their fourth NBA title in eight years, Jordan Poole is set to get paid big money. The 22-year-old shooting guard was the best young talent in a dominant Warriors team that beat the Boston Celtics 4-2 in the NBA Finals.

Based on recent reports, Poole could receive a contract worth $100 million over the next four seasons. Golden State are eager to keep him, but already have a massive payroll, which puts them in a tough situation.

Former NBA player Dennis Scott, on an episode of "The Big Podcast with Shaq," explained how things could turn out for Poole:

“Jordan Poole is gonna probably be the most interesting one because someone may offer him so much money, and he can’t refuse. Jordan Poole is about to be the new Otto Porter.

"Otto Porter’s in Washington, made a name for himself, went to get $100 million in Chicago and everybody forgot about him.”

The Golden State Warriors’ extension offer to Jordan Poole likely needs to start at around four years, $100 million, per @Con_Chron https://t.co/tCWEJGNioi

Scott was referring to Otto Porter Jr., Jordan Poole’s teammate with the Golden State Warriors. Before Porter Jr. signed for the veteran’s minimum to play with Steph Curry in the Bay Area, he was a max contract player.

The NBA journeyman signed a four-year $106 million contract with the Washington Wizards before he was traded to the Chicago Bulls. A combination of poor play and injuries torpedoed his career, making him a role player.

The Boston Celtics made it a point to consistently attack Jordan Poole for much of the NBA Finals. Warriors head coach Steve Kerr often had to pull Poole out as he was exposed on defense.

According to Andre Iguodala on "The Point Forward" podcast, that slowly changed as the series progressed. By Game 6, Poole had become a solid defender, forcing the Celtics to go around him or even shoot over him.
