After asking him to wait 48 hours, the Warriors finally decided to cut Chris Paul ! ESPN announces that the leader finds himself an unprotected “free agent”. This will allow him to cross himself wherever he wishes.
At 39 years old, the former All-Star with the Hornets, Clippers and Suns was thrilled to be back in California to be close to his family and was expected to closely study possible offers from the Clippers and Lakers. Many expected him to join his friend LeBron James in a bid to win the title he lacks, but the Spurs will finally win the bet, reports the Bleacher Report ! For $11 million over one year.
It is therefore alongside a certain Victor Wembanyama that Chris Paul will try to become NBA champion, giving him valuable advice with his experience. All under the orders of Gregg Popovich who always adored and respected the future Hall of Famer…
On the Warriors side, this departure frees up payroll in any case, but will it be enough to convince Klay Thompson to stay? It's not going that way, since the “Splash Brother” is more than ever on the way out. He should meet the Mavericks, the Lakers, the Clippers and the Sixers in the coming hours, to negotiate a “sign-and-trade”.
Team option : possibility for a team to activate (or not) the last year of the contract of one of its players, so that he ends his lease or becomes free agent one year in advance.
