As the Golden State Warriors seek a veteran backcourt presence this offseason to help solidify their rotation, numerous options have been floated as potential solutions to this problem.
Yet, the Warriors have sat still thus far in free agency, and, with news breaking of Chris Paul returning to the Los Angeles Clippers, where he will likely finish his career, the team has missed an opportunity to facilitate a serendipitous return for the veteran guard.
While Paul has made it clear throughout his free agency process that he wishes to be close to his family in Southern California, thus making it unlikely that Golden State could have persuaded him to sign, this news makes things even more dire for the organization this offseason.
