Catch up quick: Warriors' offseason moves

Why it matters: The Warriors, after failing to defend their 2021-2022 championship title last season, are working to get back to their title-contending ways.

Catch up quick: The Dubs are expected to finalize a deal with the Washington Wizards that would trade Poole for Paul, ESPN reports.

• Other reports indicate the Warriors would also trade Ryan Rollins and Patrick Baldwin Jr. as part of the deal.
• At last week's NBA draft, the Dubs selected guard Brandin Podziemski, a sharpshooter with a knack for rebounding, and acquired Trayce Jackson-Davis, a 6-foot-9 forward who will give Warriors more size and physicality.
• Of note: The Warriors have yet to confirm the Paul-Poole trade, but Paul has already spoken positively about his anticipated move to the Dubs.

What they're saying: "I'm all about winning, so whatever's going to give me an opportunity to win, I'm all for it," Paul said during an interview last week.

The intrigue: Paul has a long history with the Warriors and Steph Curry, as he's faced them numerous times in the postseason while with the Los Angeles Clippers and Houston Rockets.

• Of note: There's a classic clip out there involving Paul fake-laughing at Warriors head coach Steve Kerr during a game between the Dubs and the Rockets.

The big picture: The Dubs seem to be abandoning the two-timeline plan, where the team tries to develop young talent to build for the future while also supporting Curry and the rest of the core.

• Instead, the Warriors appear to be going all in on doing whatever it takes to maximize Curry's remaining prime years.

What to watch: Assuming the deal goes through for Paul, will he come off the bench and lead the second unit or will Kerr work Paul into the starting lineup?

• Also, is Green coming back? There's an expectation that he will, but we still don't know for sure.
