I have a feeling there are going to be some new CP3 fans among the Warriors fanbase this season...

His pg skills are still there but not his offense.
Not excited about what we got.

Ah yes right…it was Poole’s fault. That’ll fix our defense. Add the great Chris Paul and we’re out of the defensive cellar.

Warriors had the League #1 defensive team rating in 2021-22 and were #6 in the playoffs in 2022-23 - right behind the Lakers, and ahead of the Heat.

There's no trophies for regular season results!

5’11” and 38 years old.

Worst Warriors trade in the last 10 years. Bob would have never made the trade for this washed up, molasses-paced, attitude-ridden flopfest. Does not fit our offense in the least.

Poole is younger, healthier, and a better volume scorer than cp3. I think that's it as far as basketball goes.

Defensively, you don't want either of them on the ball. But cp3 is a much better and smarter team defender. Another aspect that will massively improve our defense are the live ball turnovers, cp3 is simply much better with the ball. Steph and dray are also careless at times, but they bring alot more to the table to help offset that issue. Adding a 3rd turnover machine playing big minutes was a problem for us last year.

Offensively cp3 should help others while poole helped himself. Cp3 might not score as much as poole, but he might generate as much if not more offense than Poole.

Hate cp3 or just love youth. But cp3 is an improvement over poole on the basketball court (if he can stay healthy)for at least next season.

Never said to keep Poole. Said this trade i.e. acquiring Chris Paul is the worst trade in the last 10 years. Even if we kept Poole and merely acquired Paul in a FA pickup, it’s still a pathetic move to add him.

The only thing Chris Paul brings to this team is more experience and a minute amount of less turnovers.

Otherwise, this is a horrible, terrible trade that dramatically slows down our offense when he’s on the floor.

We will score less. The defense will not improve solely with his addition.

Such a strong stance on this trade, will be interesting if you're willing to fall on your sword if it works out.
