The NBA Finals have yet to finish, but the Phoenix Suns have notified veteran point guard Chris Paul that he will be waived by the team. Both parties are already in talks to figure out his next team ahead of Paul’s June 28 contract date.
Paul’s agent, Steven Heumann of CAA Sports, discussed with the Sun's organisation on Wednesday to explore potential options for a next landing spot. The Athletic detailed that both parties are working on resolution possibilities, including a trade, stretching his contract over multiple years, or waiving him entirely and with the potential to re-resigning the star guard in free agency.
NBA league sources have revealed that Paul has also expressed his desire to play for several more years and is eager to help a team contend for a championship.
