New Warriors guard Chris Paul candidly offered his perspective on teaming up with his longtime rivals entering his 19th season on the heels of the shocking deal that sent him to Golden State.
Paul’s whirlwind week began on Sunday when he was dealt from the Suns to the Wizards in a deal for star Bradley Beal. On Thursday, Washington traded Paul for Jordan Poole in a move that will team the 12-time All-Star up with Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson, (potentially) Draymond Green and coach Steve Kerr.
Just hours later, Paul, still in the midst of processing the news, told Lindsay Czarniak of NBC Sports he was “excited” to continue his storied career with the Warriors. He then admitted it was “crazy” how the full circle moment came together, considering he’s been battling Kerr’s Warriors since 2014.
