The Warriors made a surprise trade when they sent Jordan Poole to The Wizards for Chris Paul in a multiplayer trade.
With the championship season set to begin in 2022, Golden State has been eliminated in the second round of the playoffs by this year’s Lakers.
The goal for the Dubs is to win now and that’s what Paul’s trade signifies, says Warriors assistant coach Kenny Atkinson.
“It’s been an amazing week,” said Atkinson. “Obviously we’re hungry, we’re hungry to get back to Championship level. We got to the last eight last year but it’s not good enough, not in this organisation. We’re excited about what we did last week, excited for next season. We’re ready to rock.”
