NBA hammer: Suns will probably release Paul
Butler vs. Jokic: Titans Meet in the NBA Finals
Chris Paul apparently has to look for a new team in the NBA. The Phoenix Suns should separate from the point guard.
Twelve-time NBA all-star Chris Paul apparently has to look for a new team. As several US media reports, the Phoenix Suns are about to be separated from the star playmaker.
Most recently, the Arizona franchise hired former Lakers master coach Frank Vogel as the new head coach.
Vogel does not appear to be counting on Paul, who has been directing the Suns’ game so far. The point guard is still chasing his first NBA title at 38. Phoenix lost to the Denver Nuggets in the quarterfinals of the playoffs that year.
Will Paul become a free agent?
The release is expected to take place in the coming days. With the Suns reportedly unable to guarantee Paul’s contract for next season, the point guard is likely to become a free agent and a hot spot in the transfer market. There may also be a trade in the room.
Paul had signed a contract worth around $ 120 million in the summer of 2021. According to reports, the 38-year-old wants to play for several more years in order to become a champion.
During the regular season, Paul played 59 games, averaging 13.9 points and 8.9 assists. However, the veteran injured himself in the playoffs.
