The most surprising trade of the off-season was the one between the Wizards, Warriors, and the Suns. The loss of Jordan Poole, combined with the fact that Paul was a strong rival of the franchise, the news of the trade raised a lot of eyebrows back in July 2023. With the flaring rivalry between Draymond Green and the ?Point God?, CP3 attracted a lot of attention to his ability to enhance the overall play.

With the 2014 elimination of GSW and Paul?s LA Clippers sweeping the game, the trade was not a much-foreseen moment. However, the PG is under speculation to play in the starting five this regular season.?

With rigorous mentoring sessions with Jonathan Kuminga and Moses Moody, it?s an open secret that CP3 has some leadership qualities to tame the younger players to get better in the game. With the recent revelation made on 95.7 The Games, Matt Steinmetz even gave this observation a green signal.

Matt said, ?You need his leadership. Let me tell you what happened last year: the whole, ?Oh Curry?s a leader, is okay, Draymond?s the heart and soul, Klay, NO! That maze came to an end last year.”

He continued: ?One of the reasons Chris Paul is here is that it?s going to take away a little of Draymond?s voice… I absolutely think they need Chris Paul to lead this team because it doesn?t come naturally to any of these three right now.”

After the praise showered by head coach Steve Kerr as well, the path seems a little less hectic for the 38-year-old PG. However, the Draymond-CP3 beef is yet to prevail!
