The Golden State Warriors made a shocking decision after trading Jordan Poole to the Wizards in exchange for Chris Paul. Now, the veteran gets a big chance to win his first championship alongside Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson.
In the negotiation, the Warriors also gave Washington a protected 2030 first-round pick and a 2027 second-round pick. Considering Poole is only 24-years old and Paul is in the final stage of his career, many people wonder if it’s a lopsided trade.
This has been a crazy week for Chris Paul in the NBA. One day he was at the Wizards with free agency looming and now he’ll play for a star caliber team like the Warriors. That’s why he had a very special reaction.

Paul also confirmed he already had a first conversation with his new teammate, Stephen Curry. “It was good, yeah.” Furthermore, the point guard had a brief message when asked about his role with the Warriors. “To help us win games (laughs).”
