Unsurprisingly, Chris Paul should never wear the Wizards jersey, following the transfer of Bradley Beal to the Suns. THE Bleacher Report And ESPN confirms that the Wizards are ready to facilitate the transfer of CP3 to the team of his choice, and the exchange between Phoenix and Washington will not be official until this 3rd formation is known.
The All-Star point guard wants to play for the title, and there is no shortage of applicants. All eyes are on Los Angeles where his family still resides, along with the Clippers and Lakers. In the East, we imagine that the Heat and the Sixers are following the file closely. The Bleacher Report reports that a return to the Clippers is more than a possibility, and if so, that would also mean that Russell Westbrook should not be extended. Unless the latter agrees to become 6th man again.
The bargain for Chris Paul
It also remains to be seen what the Clippers could let go in exchange. For now, on paper, the Wizards have sold off Bradley Beal since they will only recover Landry Shamet and the second rounds of the Draft. Maybe they’ll find reinforcements in the Los Angeles squad.
Finally, remember that the next year of Chris Paul’s contract is not guaranteed, and that the team that will recover him has a “team option” to extend him to 30.7 million dollars for the season, or make him a “free agent”. “, with severance pay of … 25 million dollars. Indeed, a clause in Chris Paul’s contract stipulated that he would receive ten million more if he was transferred and then cut by a team other than the Suns.
