“I’m excited, this is exactly where I wanted to be,” Paul told NBC LA. “I think it’s a great time to be a Clippers fan.”
A day earlier, the Clippers acquired Paul in a bold four-player trade with New Orleans, outmaneuvering the Lakers and several other suitors.
“I can’t really make a prediction of what we’ll do but I can guarantee you that we’ll work hard from day one. When everybody steps out on the floor we’re going to compete—the guys on this team, that’s how they’re built,” Paul said.
Blake Griffin says he’s sad to lose teammates Eric Gordon, Chris Kaman and Al-Farouq Aminu in the deal, but the Rookie of the Year is looking forward to lining up with Paul and fellow newcomers Caron Butler and Chauncey Billups.
