Steve Kerr on Chris Paul trade: We needed a shift
The Warriors don’t have to say the words. But after Friday’s news conference to introduce Podziemski and Jackson-Davis, and days before anybody with the team is allowed to address the Chris Paul acquisition, Kerr explained the general terms of the Warriors’ offseason objective. “We’re going to be a lot different,” Steve Kerr told me. “The last thing I’m going to do is say anything about a team that just won a championship a year ago and then fought through a difficult season. Made a helluva run at the end of this year. I’ve loved this group that we’ve had the last couple years. “But the biggest point is that we sensed we needed a shift. Didn’t mean we needed an overhaul, but we needed a shift of some sort. I think everybody in the organization sensed that. And it feels like we’ve made a pretty significant shift without giving up our identity and our sense of who we are as a team. I think, all in all, it’s a very positive shift.”

The Warriors, per @ShamsCharania, are essentially flipping the Patrick Baldwin Jr. roster spot (and first round contract) for Trayce Jackson-Davis on a cheaper second round contract. Older prospect. This part of CP-Poole trade will be judged on which player is better quicker. – 12:47 AM

Brandin Podziemski is a quintessential Warriors player. Perfect fit for their system with his shooting, feel, toughness.

Suns only need to guarantee $25.0M of Chris Paul’s $30.8M 2023-24 salary to complete the Beal trade, but I’m guessing they’ll guarantee $28.1M, which avoids using Saric TPE, avoids Wizards from being hard-capped on GSW trade, and gives GSW has no financial incentive to waive CP3. – 4:17 PM

CP3 will be 39 in May. He got injured this postseason (first time he didn’t finish a playoff run since 2018) and he’s played fewer games a year each of the last three.

– Teams like Marcus Smart two 1st-rders & Tyus Jones more than Brogdon.

Initial thoughts: This move doesn’t make the Dubs better in the regular season. CP3 is not an 82 game player anymore. Jordan Poole doesn’t miss games.

Notably, Chris Paul will actually make more this season ($30.8 million) than Jordan Poole ($28.7 million). Now, Paul is on an expiring deal, so Golden State saves long-term money… but the Warriors just added to their 2023-24 luxury tax bill. – 3:30 PM

More on this storyline
The idea is to give the Warriors another way to challenge the defense. Paul can run his style of offense with the second unit (maybe igniting Jonathan Kuminga’s rim-running game) and then he can possibly close halves alongside Curry and Klay and let them both sprint around screens away from the ball while Paul probes and pressures the defense in his own way. “One of the things Steph said … I thought his most revealing quote after the Lakers series was that we didn’t have enough variety in the ways that we could score,” Kerr said. “And everything was high pick-and-roll with Steph. That whole series. We just couldn’t create enough. When we’ve been our best, this team has had a lot of good passing, a lot of connectors, a lot of guys who understood how to play with Steph and free him up and use his gravity to slip for layups or create shots on the other side of the floor. -via The Athletic / June 24, 2023
ClutchPoints: “I was at my gym here in Winston playing pickup… After the game… little Chris came up to me & told me… Whatever’s gonna give me an opportunity to win I’m all for it.” Chris Paul on how he found out about the Warriors trade (via @lindsayczarniak) -via Twitter @ClutchPointsApp / June 23, 2023
Dunleavy sure gave every indication at the presser that he supported Poole and his contract extension and said, “We plan on having him four more years at least.” But that was the day I started hearing rumblings that the Warriors were interested in Paul, that they believed he could fit in with old rivals Stephen Curry, Draymond Green and Klay Thompson and that they were hoping to check in with Paul in the wake of his reported trade from the Suns to the Wizards. -via The Athletic / June 23, 2023
