Klay Thompson Gets Honest About Chris Paul Trade

In a clip from Podcast P, which is presented by Wave Sports and Entertainment, Golden State Warriors guard Klay Thompson was asked about his team trading for Chris Paul. While the Warriors have had several battles with Paul over the years, Thompson is excited for what he can bring to the team.

"We're lucky," Thompson said. "He's one of the greatest players ever. He's top-75, he's elevated every franchise he ran the point for. And me as a shooter, I'm excited. I just know CP is gonna put it right here on the seams, he's gonna set me up nice. I'm gonna get a couple extra easy buckets every night. And he's a winner. I've played against him so many times, you see how competitive he is. He'll do anything to win, that's the vibes we want."

“We’re lucky, he [Chris Paul] is one of the greatest players ever.”

Every Warriors player, coach, and executive that has addressed this move has shared similar sentiments. It's clear that Golden State believes Paul can bring a dynamic to their team that was missing last season. This will likely extend even beyond what he can do on the court, because Paul's steady veteran presence should also help some of Golden State's younger players.

Whether Paul starts or comes off the bench, he will play a lot of minutes alongside Steph Curry, Klay Thompson, and Draymond Green, which should make for some fun lineups.
