After being traded to the Washington Wizard for Bradley Beal, Chris Paul is yet again part of another trade with the Golden State Warriors, that will send Jordan Poole, Ryan Rollins and two draft picks to the Wizards.
This was reported by ESPN Adrian Wojnarowski and Shams Charania of The Athletic.
Warriors receive:
- Chris Paul
Wizards receive:
- Jordan Poole
- Ryan Rollins
- 2030 first-round pick (protected)
- 2027 second-round pick
Stylistically, Paul plays a slower kind of basketball, which is different style from the the “fast pace and spaced the floor” that the Warriors are playing. Also, it does not address the “size” factor that the GSW need in order to content in the West, specially with now NBA Champs Denver Nuggets.
If Golden State does keep Chris Paul for the season, they will have at least 3 months to retool and fit Paul into their system or the Warriors to adapt to CP3’s kind of the basketball.
