?I?ve Been the Sworn Enemy?: Days After Joining Forces With Stephen Curry?s Warriors, NBA Veteran Vents His True Feelings

We are back with more news coming out of the off-season. The Draft has sent the fans, analysts, and in some cases even the players into a tizzy. Especially for fans of Golden State, the past few months have been a whirlwind. Starting with their early playoff exit, things have looked contentious for Stephen Curry & Co. But as the grind of the season has come to a halt, this could be the chance for new narratives to emerge.

An 18-year NBA veteran is hoping for exactly that as he welcomes a new challenge.

Enemies to teammates: Legendary PG set to join Stephen Curry

Stephen Curry is arguably the best point guard in the league right now. As an offensive force, he has been unstoppable for nearly a decade already. But with an aging core around him, the front office in Golden State has made some desperate moves to revitalize the team. The most noteworthy change to their roster has come in the form of CP3.

Chris Paul needs no introduction. He’s a two-time Olympic gold medalist and one of the best in the league at spreading the rock.

In an interaction with TMZ Sports, the 38-year-old spoke about his new team, “I am excited. I know I have been a sworn enemy for a long time, but I cannot wait to be there and I cannot wait to be there in a locker room with all the guys.”

When asked if he would want free agent Draymond Green to return to the team, Paul replied, “Absolutely!”?

Despite playing on opposing sides of the court for most of their careers, it’s clear that Paul values what Green can bring as a defensive powerhouse. And with the Golden State Warriors‘ rumbling uncertainties, they could surely do with the return of their franchise forward.

For an NBA team, it is very important that all the players and members, on and off the team have a great rapport and camaraderie that ensures not just a smooth experience of playing the game but victories as well.

As a long-time competitor of the team, the mixed message that Chris sent to the locker room could be a talking point before the games begin.

Simultaneously, the Dubs will be hoping that they can secure a few more competent pieces to set up around Curry.

With an exciting young core brewing in San Francisco, the team’s mixture of veteran leadership and youthful explosiveness will certainly be fun to watch next season. Only time will tell though, if it translates into wins.
