The question of whether the 38-year-old NBA veteran point guard Chris Paul will secure a spot in the Golden State Warriors‘ starting lineup or come off the bench has been a significant topic of discussion since July. This debate stems from both his extensive career as a starter ever since his NBA debut in 2005 and a light-hearted remark he made when questioned about his role with the team.

When asked about his role, Paul cheekily retorted, “You coaching?” and then added, “I don’t know what the situation is going to be yet. That’ll be for us to figure out once we get going.” CP3’s tone and impish grin suggested a strong belief in his starter status, regardless of the Warriors roster.

Warriors head coach Steve Kerr acknowledges the quandary the Golden State Warriors confronted with the arrival of Paul. CP3 brings leadership and star quality, but he has predominantly been a starting point guard on his previous teams.

“We basically have six starters, the way I look at it. And only five can go each night. So, I haven’t decided yet what we’re gonna do. I’m wanna see in training camp. We’re gonna try different combinations and take a look. Obviously, all six guys are gonna play a lot of minutes for us. If this is gonna work, then everybody has to embrace it regardless of who’s starting and who’s not,” said Kerr.
