On October 24, the Golden State Warriors will play Chris Paul’s former team, the Phoenix Suns, in their first regular season game as a member of the Warriors.
Twelve-time All-Star Kevin Durant says his adjustment to the Warriors has been “seamless,” giving fans hope for the Steve Kerr–Stephen Curry era’s pursuit of a fifth title.
I told the Dubs Talk show, “I’m being serious, this seems so simple,” Paul said.
A 19-year work history has given me a wealth of knowledge. Until they started using different weapons, nothing had altered in the game. One thing that has worked in my favor is that this is not my first time switching squads. Every time I switch teams, people remark “it’s not gonna work” since I’ve heard interference from the outside before.
Paul came in last, thus no championship for him.
Despite his impressive resume, Paul has never won an NBA title, making his addition all the more meaningful.
After spending time with the New Orleans Hornets, Los Angeles Clippers, Houston Rockets, Oklahoma City Thunder, and Phoenix Suns, he was traded to the Warriors in exchange for Jordan Poole.
The Warriors still have four more preseason games to play before the start of the regular season, and those games feature matches against the Los Angeles Lakers, the Sacramento Kings, and the San Antonio Spurs.
With Paul on board, the Warriors are expected to make another deep playoff run and contend for the NBA title in the upcoming season.
