Chris Paul given 'saddest' welcome at Golden State Warriors following NBA switch

Chris Paul might not be the player he once was - but fans insist he deserved a better welcome from the Golden State Warriors.

The trade to send CP3 to the Warriors became official last week, with the team moving on from Jordan Poole after giving him a huge contract extension last off-season. The deal appeared to be one the Warriors wanted to complete in order to rid themselves of Poole's contract, rather than seeing the point-guard as a player to help them get back to competing for championships.

Paul, 38, remains one of the better players at his position in the league and will go down as one of the greatest to ever do it. But fans felt the Warriors official announcement for confirming him as the newest signing felt somewhat disrespectful.
