Sent only a few days earlier to Washington, Chris Paul finally landed in Golden State. A scenario he did not expect, as he made it clear when revealing the context in which he discovered the news.
As is always the case when such names suddenly change teams, it will undoubtedly be difficult to integrate the fact of seeing him evolve under new colors. Installed in Phoenix since 2020, Chris Paul is about to discover a new environment, and not the least. Initially transferred to the Wizards, the veteran point guard will ultimately wear the colors of the Warriors next season.
Chris Paul’s revelation about his Warriors trade
Sent to Golden State in exchange in particular for Jordan Poole, Paul will certainly have a good card to play on the spot. In effect, the five major madness he could form offers him a serious chance of winning the first league title of his career. For now, the Point God is already content to digest this sudden upheaval, which he learned about in a funny way. He tells Lindsay Czarniak:
NBA star Chris Paul told me it was a “full circle” moment finding out he was traded to the Golden State Warriors. We sat down for a previously scheduled podcast conversation shortly after the news broke. Appreciate his honesty still processing the news @CP3 #chrispaul #nba pic.twitter.com/gu5m8kyTjU

Massive departure from the Warriors? “They are sweating…”
It was my son who told me I was traded to the Warriors. I was playing a pickup game in my room here at Winston Salem, and after the game was over, little Chris came up to me and told me everything.
Even for a star as respected as him in the league, the NBA remains a business where he does not really have a say. CP3 therefore had to project itself into the bay of San Francisco in this way, not without haste:
I was immediately excited to join a franchise like this and play with players of this quality. It’s crazy how life can take you to places you never imagined. For ten years, maybe more, I faced them. But what matters most to me is winning. So no matter what gives me the opportunity to win, I’m always in.
The prospect of evolving with the Dubs therefore leaves him dreaming, as does the fact of sharing the backcourt with Steph Curry, whose the final opinion on this exchange has already been revealed. Invited to discuss the role he could take on alongside him, Paul also offered a response that promises:
I do not know yet. What I know is that when you play with great players, you always find the solution.
Like a lambda player, Chris Paul would therefore have been transferred without his knowledge, and would only have heard of it thanks to his son. Funny way to start this new adventure in the league, which could also remain as the last of his career!
