In an unexpected move, the Golden State Warriors traded 24-year-old Jordan Poole for the seasoned veteran, 38-year-old Chris Paul.
Golden State’s head coach Steve Kerr expressed his admiration for the 12-time NBA All-Star and his leadership.
“I think he’s the perfect fit for us right now. Frankly, I think we needed leadership,” during his appearance on the Willard & Dibs podcast.
Kerr’s endorsement highlights the significance of Paul’s arrival and the impact the veteran point guard is expected to have on the Warriors’ gameplay and locker room dynamics.
