The Golden State Warriors go big

What they're saying: Šarić, who played with Paul on the Phoenix Suns, is expected to bring shooting, defense and most importantly, size, to the Dubs.

• "He's a frontcourt shooter they can put next to Draymond Green or Kevon Looney or Jonathan Kuminga and better spread the floor in otherwise cramped lineups," The Athletic's Anthony Slater writes.

Catch up quick: The Warriors began the offseason with a bang, trading Jordan Poole, Patrick Baldwin Jr., Ryan Rollins and two future draft picks to the Washington Wizards in exchange for 12-time NBA All-Star point guard Chris Paul.

• During the NBA Draft last month, the Warriors selected guard Brandin Podziemski and acquired forward Trayce Jackson-Davis.
• Meanwhile, the Warriors were able to retain Draymond Green and brought on point guard Cory Joseph, who last played with the Detroit Pistons.
• Yes, but: The Warriors lost sharpshooter Donte DiVincenzo (New York Knicks) and guard Ty Jerome (Cleveland Cavaliers) in free agency.

The intrigue: Paul and Green have had a contentious relationship over the years, but Paul put any concerns about their history to rest.

• Paul said Green "competes just like I do," adding "it's going to be definitely dope to see us now as teammates."

What to watch: Whether Paul will start or come off the bench. In an interview over the weekend, Paul said he hasn't spoken to head coach Steve Kerr about whether he'll be a starter.

• Plus, it remains to be seen if Lester Quinones, the guard who has averaged 22 points on 48% shooting and 47% from the three-point range in the NBA Summer League, obtains a two-way contract with the Warriors and its G-League affiliate.
