Yes, the statements are real and verified. Draymond Green has confessed that the purpose of the 2023-2024 season is to try to get Chris Paul his first championship ring with the Golden State Warriors.
CP3’s trade for Jordan Poole was one of the most shocking of the summer. Paul, as Green describes him, was a sworn enemy of Californians. The animosity towards the point guard after so many battles on the court was not only from the power forward, but also from Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson and even the head coach Steve Kerr. But the NBA is a business and relationships can change from one moment to the next.
The journalist of ESPN, Ohm Youngmisuk asked Green if he had to rate his disdain for Paul from one to ten and he immediately replied: “Eleven! He hated it. But I also think it’s a sign of respect,” he commented at a camp at his alma mater, Michigan State.
Now with the approach of a new contest, the twelfth of his career, he seems to have left the impasses behind and added: «I see this season as one of the most important years of my career. It’s not to redeem anything about Draymond. My goal is that we can help Chris Paul get his first championship.”

«Of course, as an opponent you hate it and if you don’t, guess what? You will lose to him. We have seen many lose to him. I’m a big student of the game and Chris Paul is a master and I’m looking forward to learning from him. We have already overcome one obstacle and then there will be another bump, that of playing together, which will take us a while to get used to. But I’m excited,” said the four-time All-Star.
The Warriors fell in the final semifinals of the Western Conference at the hands of the Los Angeles Lakers. A year earlier they won their fourth title since 2015 and, according to Green, it is not unreasonable to think of two more trophies. “I don’t necessarily like to put a number on things, but I don’t see why we can’t get two more championships. Why not?”
