Wizards trade Chris Paul to Warriors for Jordan Poole and a first round pick

Warriors going all-in on trying to get this Steph Curry group a 5th title. They probably also had some buyer's remorse on giving Jordan Poole such a lucrative deal. Poole will get to show us what he has on a rebuilding Washington team while the Wizards also pick up a 1st rounder down the road, somewhat salvalging their Bradley Beal trade.

Deal is agreed on, per sources https://t.co/bq3yNk3Wbg

It should be noted that due to last night's 3-team trade the Celtics own the Warriors' 2024 1st rounder. Golden State getting Paul won't help the Celtics as he's a very good regular season player.

The 2030 GSW first-round pick going to Washington is top-20 protected, sources tell ESPN. https://t.co/dCHuSnlTNg

In the end, the Wizards made two separate trades with the Suns and Warriors. Phoenix isn't looped into the Golden State deal. https://t.co/Dl15yPLWmg

Update:

The Warriors are trading Patrick Baldwin Jr. to the Wizards as part of the Chris Paul-Jordan Poole trade, sources said.
