Should the Warriors trade Jordan Poole?

After watching last night's game against the Raptors, and seeing how much more effective Donte Divecenzo (+24, 11 assists, 1 TO) is than Jordan Poole (-13, 2 assists, 3 TO) in the Warriors system, I'm starting to wonder if the best way out of the Warriors upcoming luxury tax crunch might be to trade Poole and use that $$$ to resign DDV and extend Draymond.

Because it's pretty clear by now that DDV is a much better fit for the Warriors style of play than JP is.

There are several teams with plenty of cap room and more 1st round picks than they know what to do with (OKC, Utah, San Antonio, New York) who could use a young player like JP to try and rebuild around, or alternatively they could try and trade him before the trade deadline (maybe to Indiana for Myles Turner and a 1st) for someone who could help them this year.

Thoughts?
