I'm not super wild about the trade, but I understand it. The Warriors want to win now, and they suffered by not having a true backup point guard. Paul has played between 59 and 70 games each of the past three seasons, and has averaged between 31 and 33 minutes per game. He was on the all star team three of the last four seasons and is a 12 time all star. He led the league in assists per game as recently as season before last. And he's $110 million cheaper than Poole, a player who I saw as regressing, a malcontent, and who would be better as an egocentric starter on a second division ballclub. Rollins was never going to add anything. The Rollins and Poole salaries are close to Chris Paul's salary (not sure if the Wizards or Suns are paying off any of CP3's salary). Chris Paul's $30 mms. salary is not guaranteed for 2024-2025.
And frankly...Kuminga fits into the same category. He'll be gone in two weeks, my best guess. And I'm going to guess the Warriors are going to draft a college senior, 22-23 years old, best wing or center they can find.
