In a recent interview with Anthony Slater of The Athletic, Golden State Warriors star Steph Curry was asked about his team trading for Chris Paul. As reported in Slater’s article, Curry said the following:

“The business is crazy. We all know that. If you asked us six months ago if this was something that could happen, the answer probably would’ve been no just based on where we were. Then you get to the summer and are trying to find ways to get better and put yourself in position to chase another championship. Every team that CP has been on gets better. That’s the most consistent thing on him and who he is and what he brings to the team. Everybody’s going to talk about the age. It’s on us to put that all together and figure out how all the pieces work.”

Curry also mentioned the loss of Jordan Poole, saying it’s tough to lose somebody like that, but he also knows Paul is going to help the Warriors win:

“You hate losing JP. I know it’s not all the way official yet. So I don’t want to talk too much before it is. But that’s the tough part of the business, seeing a young guy come into his own (and then get traded). It’s a great opportunity for him. It’s just you get to know someone like that, build a friendship, build a bond. It’s tough to see him go. But, you know, we’re trying to win next year and CP can help us do that.”

It was a wild move that the Warriors made, but Curry seems on board with it.
