The Golden State Warriors made a questionable move this offseason when they traded away Jordan Poole for Chris Paul.
Initially, most thought that the Warriors lost the trade as they traded away a 24-year-old talent for a declining 38-year-old veteran.
However, as of now, the Warriors have seemingly won the trade.
In his first four games as a member of the Golden State Warriors, Paul has left his impression on the game.
In fact, so far, Paul has a team-high plus/minus of +46, as revealed via the Golden State Warriors’ official Twitter handle.

On paper, Paul’s numbers have certainly taken a hit, as he’s averaging 11.3 points, 4.8 rebounds, and 8.3 assists per game for the Warriors.
But considering the fact that Paul is currently sharing the court with elite scorers such as Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson, the veteran guard’s numbers were bound to take a dip.
Although Paul’s contributions may not be highlighted in the box score, he’s still contributing to the Warriors’ wins in another way.
Thanks to a red-hot start to the season by Stephen Curry and steady performances by Chris Paul, the Warriors currently have a 3-1 record.
The Warriors are behind the Denver Nuggets and Dallas Mavericks in the standings, who are the only two undefeated teams in the Western Conference right now.
All things considered, the Warriors are playing with a chip on their shoulder after failing to defend their title in the 2023 playoffs.
Can the Warriors make a stunning comeback and ultimately win another NBA Championship this season? Only time will tell.
