Veteran guard Chris Paul is headed from the Washington Wizards to the Golden State Warriors in exchange for guard Jordan Poole, media reports said before the NBA draft on Thursday.
The Wizards, who acquired Paul from the Phoenix Suns in exchange for three-time All-Star Bradley Beal on Sunday, will receive Poole, Ryan Rollins and two future draft picks, San Jose Mercury News reported.
Paul, a 12-time All-Star and a five-time assists leader, has never won an NBA.
Paul has averaged 17.9 points. 9.5 assists, 4.5 rebounds and 2.1 steals per game over 18 NBA seasons.
Other moves reported on Thursday included the Wizards sending Kristaps Porzingis to Boston in a three-team deal that will send Celtics talisman Marcus Smart to the Memphis Grizzlies.
Latvian star Porzingis, the fourth overall selection in the 2015 draft, averaged a career-high 23.2 points, 8.4 rebounds, 2.7 assists and 1.5 blocks in 65 games last season for the Wizards.
The Celtics will be hoping adding Porzingis to a lineup already featuring All-Stars Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown helps them again challenge for a title, after falling to the Golden State Warriors in the NBA Finals in 2022 and to the Miami Heat in the Eastern Conference finals this season.
