On Monday evening, the San Antonio Spurs lost to the Memphis Grizzlies by a score of 128-109.

Chris Paul finished the loss with three points, four rebounds, eight assists and two steals while shooting 1/4 from the field in 28 minutes of playing time.

After the game, the future Hall of Famer was asked about the trade that landed the Spurs with De'Aaron Fox.

Paul (via ESPN's Michael C. Wright): "That’s a no-brainer. You bring somebody in that has been an All-Star & knows what it takes to win. He commands a double team a lot of times, especially in transition.... The biggest thing about Fox that I know our team can use is his competitiveness. I’m excited to have that"
