Golden State Warriors Sing a new Big Superstar Form Boston Celtics…
Is reunion in the cards for Golden State Warriors star Chris Paul and the Los Angeles Clippers this summer?
The Clippers have joined the list of teams interested in signing Paul if the Warriors waive him, according to NBA insider Marc Stein.
“The Clippers, I’m told, should be added to the list of teams that could emerge as a suitor for potential free agent Chris Paul.
Caveats are immediately required in this situation since Paul might not even make it to free agency if the Warriors decide next month to keep him or trade him to a team that wants to keep him,” Stein wrote in his Substack newsletter on May 26.
The Warriors have until June 28 to decide on Paul’s future. They can go three different routes: fully guarantee Paul’s $30 million salary for next season, waive him or trade him.
Stein also reported that the Warriors can push back the June 28 deadline to July but they need Paul to sign off such move.
Paul, 39, is coming off the worst season of his career moving on to a bench role after starting in his first 18 seasons in the NBA. He averaged under 30 minutes for the first time. But Paul made the most of his opportunity, producing 9.2 points, a team-high 6.8 assists, 3.9 rebounds and 1.2 steals in 26.4 minutes for the Warriors.
