Upon his trade to the Golden State Warriors, Chris Paul wasted no time in addressing the lingering tension between himself and teammate Draymond Green. 

In a recent appearance on the Pat McAfee Show, Paul candidly shared that he promptly texted Green upon hearing the news of the trade, expressing the immediate need to resolve their prior conflict. 

“As soon as I got traded, I sent him a text. 'Yo, we need to talk.' That's what adults do. You don't talk through the media, you let all these people make up whatever story they want to. I mean it when I say it, that's one of my favorite teammates I ever had in my career,” CP said on the show. 


Emphasizing the importance of direct communication over media speculation, Paul demonstrated his maturity and professionalism by swiftly initiating a conversation to address their differences.
