Warriors star Steph Curry sent best wishes to his former teammate, Jordan Poole, and welcomed Chris Paul hours after Golden State’s trade with the Wizards became official on Thursday.
Golden State traded Poole, Patrick Baldwin, Ryan Rollins, a 2027 second round draft pick and a 2030 first round draft pick to Washington for the 12-time All-Star guard. Curry posted a video in his Instagram story praising Poole’s growth in his four-year run with the franchise while also hyping up Paul as he joins the team.
“Just [want to] say JP how much I appreciated the four years brother, you’re champion,” Curry said in the video. “You grew up right in front of everybody’s face. That first year, it was rough with a lot of injuries, and trying to find your way, to going to the G-League and coming back, and helping us finish 15–5 that second year, us winning a championship your third year and fighting to the end this past year. … I can’t wait to see you shine in your own situation.
