Chris Paul’s One-Word Answer When Asked Whether He Wants Draymond Green Back With Warriors

Chris Paul is ready to let bygones be bygones following the trade which sent him to the Warriors. And from the sound of it, he's ready to join Golden State's 'big three,' not replace a member of it.

During Fanatics’ “Merch Madness” event, Paul spoke to TMZ Sports and was asked about Draymond Green, who’s now an unrestricted free agent, and whether he wants the 33-year-old forward to re-sign with the team. Paul gave a quick and emphatic response.

“Absolutely,” Paul told TMZ Sports when asked whether he wanted Draymond Green back on the Warriors.

Paul also addressed something of an elephant in the room in relation to the trade as a whole. Specifically, the fact that he’s had some back-and-forth with the Warriors and players like Steph Curry in recent years.

When asked if he had a message for Dub Nation, Paul fully admitted and embraced the fact that he was the “sworn enemy” previously.

“I’m excited, I’m excited. I know I’ve been sort of the sworn enemy for a long time, but I cannot wait to be there and I cannot wait to get in the locker room for those guys. Appreciate y’all and we on the way,” Paul said.

The Warriors have a major looming decision on Green as free agency approaches, but if he's back with the team, their original big three with Paul in the mix should be dangerous next season.
