Chris Paul Says He Is Excited To Play For The Golden State Warriors

Chris Paul has joined the Golden State Warriors in a shocking trade with the Washington Wizards. The Warriors sent Jordan Poole and draft picks in exchange for the services of CP3.

The move took most fans by surprise. Sure, Paul wasn't expected to play even a single game for the Wizards, but no one expected him to be traded to the Dubs. After learning about the trade, the 38-year-old veteran point guard shared his views on playing for the Warriors and potentially competing for an NBA Championship.

"Excited," Paul said. "I got that question, I don't know how many times already. I'm really excited."

Chris Paul was then asked if he had already talked with his longtime rival Stephen Curry.

"It was good," CP3 said of his talk with Curry.

Paul concluded by revealing his role would be to help the team "win games."

Chris Paul will most likely lead the second unit for the Warriors in the 2023-24 NBA season. But there's no guarantee that head coach Steve Kerr won't use him as the point guard while shifting Curry to the shooting guard position.

The Warriors Want To Win An NBA Championship With Chris Paul

Chris Paul averaged 13.9 PPG, 4.3 RPG, and 8.9 APG during the 2022-23 NBA season. Paul's playmaking ability could be used to the full extent, with the likes of Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson surrounding him at all times.

Initially, it was believed that the Warriors might waive Paul after trading for him. But as per Bleacher Report's Chris Haynes, the Dubs intend to keep CP3 on the roster.

"Golden State will not waive Chris Paul and is looking forward to partnering with the star to make a championship run, league sources tell NBA on TNT, Bleacher Report."

It may take some time for Paul to forge a bond with the Warriors. After all, Paul was showered with NSFW chants after the Warriors eliminated the Rockets from the 2019 playoffs.

Can CP3 finally win the first ring of his NBA career? He may not get a better chance than riding the coattails of the Warriors' potential last season as a dominant team.
