Quotes
The Warriors recently signed veteran point guard Chris Paul who revealed that he hasn't spoken to the team or coach Steve Kerr about the intricacies of his new role.
"At the end of the day, it's basketball. I'm going into a situation with a bunch of guys who've been playing together for a long time," Paul said.
"I'm not as worried about it as everybody else is. We'll figure all of that stuff out at camp. You don't have the answers right now.
"We'll practice, and I'm sure there will be things I've got to learn about them, they've got to learn about me, but that's the case with any team."
