While the rumor of a departure from Chris Paul had the effect of a bomb in Arizona, this one would not fail to interest several teams if it were indeed to be cut by the Suns.
So, ESPN reports that, in the race for the 38-year-old leader, it will probably be necessary to keep an eye on the Lakers (of his friend LeBron James…), the WarriorsTHE Knicks (chaired by his former agent…) and the Clippers (where he has already played…). On his side, The Ringer add the bonus Spurs as a potential destination.
So many avenues that make sense, since the two franchises of Los Angeles And Golden State intend to fight for the Larry O’Brien trophy, just like new Yorkand while Chris Paul is still chasing a ring, we imagine that he will favor competitiveness.
AT San Antoniowe understand why Gregg Popovich would like to be able to count on him to accompany Victor Wembanyama’s first steps in the league, but not sure that the prospect attracts Chris Paul…
As a reminder, the leaders of phoenix have until June 28 to make a decision on “CP3” because, from that date, the $30.8 million he is supposed to get in 2023/24 will become fully guaranteed. By parting with it before, they would save money (almost 16 million dollars), to modify the workforce around Devin Booker and Kevin Durant for the next campaign.
