By trading for Chris Paul, the Warriors are adding one of their biggest rivals. The two sides have engaged in playoff battles while Paul was with the Clippers and Rockets, but Golden State got the best of the star point guard more often than not.
For the first time since the trade, Warriors stars Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson discussed what it will be like to play with Paul. Curry, who hasn’t always gotten along with Paul, praised the veteran for consistently raising the level of play on his teams.
“Every team that CP has been on gets better,” Curry said, via The Athletic’s Anthony Slater. “That’s the most consistent thing about him, and who he is and what he brings to the team. Everybody’s going to talk about the age. It’s on us to put that all together and figure out how all the pieces work.”
