So, at 38 years old and about to enter his 19th NBA season, Paul could find himself in a new position. But it obviously seems unlikely that he would supplant guards Stephen Curry or Klay Thompson in Golden State’s starting lineup.
He has appeared in 1,214 regular-season games and another 149 in the playoffs, and has started every single one of them. It may usher in something totally new and different for Paul - a bench role. Paul is due about $31 million this coming season and has nothing guaranteed after that. Poole is about to begin a four-year, $128 million deal. The move could also provide the Warriors with financial flexibility in future seasons. And in 2019, the Warriors beat Paul and the Rockets again, that time in the West semifinals before ultimately falling to Toronto in the NBA Finals.

In 2018, Paul and the Houston Rockets had a 3-2 series lead in the Western Conference finals before he got hurt, missed the final two games and Golden State prevailed - on the way to the NBA title. However, he regressed in the 2023 NBA Playoffs, shooting 34.1% and averaging 10.3 ppg, playing only 21.8 minutes per game because of the struggles.Īs for the veteran point guard Paul, he had two of his title-hope seasons thwarted by the Warriors. He averaged a career-best 20.4 points over 82 games during the 2022-23 season, along with averages of 2.7 rebounds and 4.5 assists (career-high). Poole joins a Washington team now fully in the midst of a complete rebuild. Golden State selected Poole with the 28th pick in the 2019 NBA Draft, and the 24-year-old guard has shown steady improvements since entering the league. Poole was a key contributor to the Warriors’ 2022 NBA title run. The reported deal comes just a few days after Paul was traded to the Wizards from the Phoenix Suns in exchange for guard Bradley Beal, and hours before the 2023 NBA Draft. Golden State is also trading 2022 second-rounder Ryan Rollins to Washington as part of Poole-CP3 deal, sources said.
Per multiple reports, the Warriors also will send 2022 second-round pick Ryan Rollins and two future picks to the Wizards as part of the deal for Paul.ĮSPN Sources: The Washington Wizards are finalizing a deal to send Chris Paul to the Golden State Warriors for a package that includes Jordan Poole and future draft assets. The Golden State Warriors reportedly are finalizing a deal to acquire All-Star guard Chris Paul from the Washington Wizards in exchange for guard Jordan Poole. Jordan Poole averaged 20.4 points, 2.7 rebounds and 4.5 assists with Golden State during the 2022-23 season.
