Having an all-time point guard is good, having two is better. On paper anyway. Chris Paul arriving at the Warriors in exchange for Jordan Poole, that’s breaking news, and it’s also the start of an association as intriguing as it is hyping. Stephen Curry X Chris Paul in Californian lands, the poster sends, the synopsis makes your mouth water.
In all likelihood, Chris Paul should start on the bench to back the Chief. 1214 matches started out of 1214 for Chris, but legend or not… we don’t touch the Splash Brothers in San Francisco. CP3 as a sixth man is great, especially given his current performance. We saw it on the start of a decline this season in Arizona, but with fewer minutes and therefore more juice to lead an orchestra like that of the Warriors, here is the massacre in perspective. Steph Curry is one of the absolute specialists in off-ball play, a marathon runner like few others. SO, Seeing him shift to position 2 to enjoy the Point God caviars is not at all utopian. It was already a purge to have a Steph running around between screens to afford an open shot, now imagine that it is one of the best brains in the history of the game who will be able to find it… n anywhere around the arc. Hell on earth.
We’re still talking here about the combination of a guy battling Magic Johnson for the title of best all-time point guard, and a guy trying to make his way into the Top 5. Stephen Curry and Chris Paul is 9 and 12 All-Star Game selections, the best shooter in history associated with the third most prolific passer of all time… and 4 NBA titles in total. Lol this one was just a missile for Chris Paul, let’s get back to business.
With this association, the Warriors ensure a level of playmanship as we have rarely seen in the history of the NBA. Because yes, we said it, the ex-leader of Phoenix declines. But a Chris on the decline is still 14 points and 9 assists. We don’t know how long the streaks will last with the two on the pitch, we let Steve Kerr cook it for us, but knowing that one of the two will always be on the floor is reassuring. Whether it’s Klay Thompson, Andrew Wiggins, Kevon Looney or any guy down the line, everyone should have something to eat.
We ignite a little, sorry it’s the hype, but we must not forget the pans of CP3 in career. Between the Clippers, the Rockets or the Suns, Fruit alternated between injuries at bad times and big chokes, forever the same result: disappointments in the Playoffs. If his presence may not reassure the Bay, the opposite should be the case. What better than to join forces with the most influential dynasty in modern history, and its Chief Leader, to chase after a ring? Certainly not a season in Washington anyway.

We are waiting to see all that, but knowing that Chris Paul and Stephen Curry are going to defend the same jersey, it awakens something in us. We don’t really know what, surely a mixture of expectations, perplexity, doubts, without forgetting a good dose of hype. On paper, it sounds good. It remains to be seen how Steve Kerr can transcribe that on a tablet.
