Chris Paul's Frustration Evident as Bench Role is Questioned with Warriors

Chris Paul, the veteran point guard and new member of the Golden State Warriors, expressed displeasure when asked about potentially coming off the bench during his introductory press conference. Having started all 1,214 regular season games in his 18-year career, Paul's role may change with the Warriors, who already have a strong starting lineup. Head coach Steve Kerr will need to manage the egos and balance the playing time of his star players, potentially considering starting Paul or using him as the sixth man off the bench. The Warriors aim to make a deep playoff run after being eliminated in the second round last season, while Paul, who has yet to win a championship, seeks his first title.
