Golden State Warriors welcomes Former Player , who says coming to the Team was a never a βbig dealβ for Him
Chris Paul received the βsaddestβ reception for the Golden State Warriors since the NBA trade.Β
Β The Golden State Warriors acquired one of the best guards in NBA history last month, but their announcement of his signing has been met with a lot of disrespect since the trade. The deal to send CP3 to the Warriors became official last week when the team moved on from Jordan Poole after he signed a huge contract extension last season. The deal appeared to be one the Warriors were willing to make to get rid of Pooleβs contract, rather than see the point guard as a player to help them return to the championship. Paul, 38, is still one of the best players at his position in the league and one of the best ever to do it. But fans felt the Warriorsβ official announcement of his confirmation as the latest signing seemed a little disrespectful.Β
Β A few days after the Washington Wizards made the trade official and Poole held a press conference after joining the team, the Warriors released a photo of Paul holding a crumpled Warriors jersey in what appeared to be a blurry room with no background. Another perspective was shared on social media, showing Paul literally about six feet away from the bin β hardly worthy of his legendary status.Β
Fans on Twitter took to the comments
section to slam the Warriors for their
efforts, with many sharing the same
message: βCP3 deserves better.β The deal
was always going to be interesting, as Paul
played the same position as the teamβs
legitimate superstar in Steph Curry, and it
was suggested that the point guard could
come off the bench for the first time in his
career.
The Warriors could also choose to move
Curry to shooting guard, using Klay
Thompson as a new-look power forward.
But Paul is looking for a change, having yet
to win a championship in his illustrious
career. He told NBA Today, βThatβs the only
thing missing (winning a championship),
thatβs pretty clear. Iβm in my 19th season
and every season itβs been the same plan, go
and try to win a championship. Itβs not going
to happen . . . It will happen this Season
