Chris Paul has broken his silence after being traded to the Golden State Warriors for Jordan Poole, Ryan Rollins, and two future draft picks to the Wizards, just days after being traded to Washington from the Phoenix Suns for Bradley Beal.
At this stage of his career, Paul is aware of his status as a complimentary piece to a championship team rather than being the superstar who carries a team to the NBA Finals, especially as a 38-year-old veteran who will look to integrate himself into a core group of players who have won four NBA championships together.
Through 18 seasons in the NBA, Paul has played in over 1,200 NBA games, managing to register every minute on the floor as a starter - not as a reserve or backup to any player. With the Warriors, that position is secured by Stephen Curry - who owns Warriors franchise records for all-time scoring, assists, and steals.
