Chris Paul is on the move again.
After being included in the Bradley Beal trade, Paul is reportedly being traded from the Wizards to the Warriors in a package headlined by Jordan Poole.
Not including the Wizards, the Warriors will mark the sixth team Paul has played on in his NBA career. The Warriors will not waive Paul and are "looking forward to partnering with the star to make a championship run," per Bleacher Report's Chris Haynes.
The No. 28 pick in the 2019 NBA Draft, Poole spent the first four seasons of his career in Golden State. He was the team's third-leading scorer during the 2022-23 regular season but struggled in the playoffs and saw his role reduced.
According to ESPN's Bobby Marks, the trade can't be made official until July 6 because of Poole's contract.
Here's everything we know about the trade.
