Chris Paul spoke about his unexpected trade from the Washington Wizards to the Golden State Warriors in an interview with Lindsay Czarniak. Paul expressed his enthusiasm at competing with Golden State’s core and his desire to contribute to their pursuit of yet another championship.
“I’m excited, I’m grateful,” Paul said. “To get a opportunity, to get an opportunity to play with that core group of players, Steph, Klay, Draymond, Looney, [Wiggins], all them, play for Steve… It just happened, so I’m just processing it all. I definitely want to get on the phone and talk to those guys and whatnot and see what’s what.”
On what’s left for him to accomplish, Paul said, “Obviously it’s that elusive championship. So going to a team with guys who have that pedigree. They’ve shown the ability to do it over and over again, with a coaching staff, with a primetime organization. As long as I’ve been playing I still love learning, so I’m excited about going into this team, this organization and seeing how I can be a piece or just be part of the puzzle to help our team win.”
Despite the fact that Steph Curry is already the starting point guard for the Warriors, Paul is eager to contribute to their success. Paul will be hoping to win his first championship with Curry and this squad as they go after their fifth title.
