More than a decade after having Chris Paul cruelly dangled in front of them, Los Angeles Lakers fans may finally get to see the 12-time All-Star don the Purple and Gold this year. If the Phoenix Suns end the anticipation and waive Paul, the Lakers are expected to spring into action and try to scoop […]

The Phoenix Suns and Chris Paul have had great success in the last three years. When Paul was traded to the team before the 2020-21 season, he was expected to lead it to the playoffs. Instead, they got all the way to the NBA Finals. The Suns followed that up with a franchise-best 64 wins […]

Chris Paul is expected by many to leave the Phoenix Suns this offseason. Phoenix is rumored to possibly be interested in moving on, but Paul could still end up remaining in Phoenix. CP3’s recent comments will draw the attention of fans around the NBA though, per Duane Rankin of azcentral.com. “Absolutely,” Paul responded when asked […]

A rock, a hard place or a third option that is equally not ideal? The Philadelphia 76ers are met with a multitude of options for stars to put next to Joel Embiid and Tyrese Maxey but none of the realistic options are home runs. The balance of the Sixers’ future currently weighs on James Harden’s […]

The 2023 NBA Draft is quickly approaching on June 22, and the San Antonio Spurs are all but guaranteed to be drafting French phenom Victor Wembanyama.

Selecting Victor Wembanyama with the No. 1 overall pick in the 2023 NBA Draft will be the San Antonio Spurs’ biggest move of the offseason.

The Phoenix Suns might move on from Chris Paul this offseason. If they do, they have a few options to replace him.

Earlier this month, speculation swirled on Chris Paul potentially being waived by the Phoenix Suns. It hasn’t happened yet, but could it be because they’re waiting on a potential trade before they pull the trigger? The Suns are reported to be “actively engaged” in seeking a trade partner that wants Chris Paul with “multiple options” […]

Just because the Phoenix Suns are unwilling to pick up the team option on Chris Paul’s $30.8 million contract for 2023-24 hardly means they don’t want him back in the desert.

The Phoenix Suns are on the verge of ending the Chris Paul era in Phoenix after the front office decided to waive the services of the 38-year-old ahead of NBA free agency. There is still some hope that CP3 is able to negotiate a new deal with the Suns, but at this point, other teams […]

Chris Paul’s future is still very much up in the air. If the Phoenix Suns ultimately send the future Hall-of-Famer to free agency in one of the most stunning cost-cutting measures in modern league history, though, the Golden State Warriors are apparently one of several teams Paul could have interest in joining. ESPN Adrian Wojnarowski: […]

The Phoenix Suns sent shockwaves through the NBA world this week when it became public that they intended to part ways with Chris Paul before June 28 when his contract becomes fully guaranteed for the 2023-24 season. Although Paul is in the twilight of his career, he still capable of helping a contending team. Should […]

Chris Paul’s future with the Phoenix Suns remains in limbo amid reports that the team could waive him. If you’re going to ask new head coach Frank Vogel on what he wants to do, though, he hopes the Arizona franchise keeps the point guard. Vogel said as much in a recent interview with Sirius XM […]

Chris Paul’s future is up in the air at the moment. If he is waived by the Phoenix Suns, CP3 may look for a new team to sign with. The Los Angeles Lakers have been named as a potential landing destination for Paul. Chris Paul is in a different position than most potential free agents. […]

On Wednesday, three of the NBA’s highest-profile scoopers nearly simultaneously shared reports on the status of Paul and the Suns. In sum, Phoenix and Paul are in dialogue about whether the 38-year-old will be waived before June 30, when his $30 […]

As the Philadelphia 76ers make an effort to re-sign James Harden, they also have to figure out backup options. Meanwhile, the Phoenix Suns are definitely moving on from Chris Paul.

Ever since the Phoenix Suns announced that they will be waiving Chris Paul, the rumors have been swirling around the NBA for his next destination. Now there is a belief that a sign-and-trade possibility with the Los Angeles Lakers for D’Angelo Russell could be a possibility, that is if the Suns take interest, reports Yahoo […]

The specific path that the Phoenix Suns will choose as they prepare to part ways with Hall of Fame point guard Chris Paul remains unclear.

The Phoenix Suns appear to be moving on from veteran point guard Chris Paul. As such, his market should be robust, and the Los Angeles Lakers are one possible landing spot. Another is the Clippers, where he was earlier in his career. Moreover, the Clippers-CP3 reunion got a bit of a jolt, and even one […]

The Boston Celtics were arguably the best team left in the 2023 NBA Playoffs after the early elimination of the Milwaukee Bucks.

Chris Paul’s three-year tenure with the Phoenix Suns could potentially come to a close this offseason with the team reportedly exploring options to part ways with the point guard. If the Suns do indeed leave Paul looking for a new team, perhaps Nikola Jokic and the Denver Nuggets make sense as a potential spot for […]

Fans of the Sacramento Kings have not known hope like this for ages. After 17 long years, the Kings made the playoffs, and they played well enough to merit more than a participation trophy. They took the Golden State Warriors to seven games, which is no mean feat given the disparity in playoff experience between […]

The Dallas Mavericks have always tended to shoot for the stars, to detrimental effect. Back in 2011 and 2012, the Mavs front office refused to keep their championship core intact. Instead, they let Tyson Chandler go for nothing in the hopes of making a run for Deron Williams and Dwight Howard in future free agencies. […]

It’s no secret that Los Angeles Lakers superstar LeBron James is good friends with Chris Paul. It’s also a known fact that among his banana boat buddies (along with Dwyane Wade and Carmelo Anthony), it’s now just Paul that LeBron hasn’t had the chance to be teammates with. Well, this could become a reality in […]

Chris Paul’s playing future is very much in flux. Just because the Phoenix Suns are exploring all options regarding the future Hall-of-Famer before his contract for next season becomes fully guaranteed on June 28th, however  hardly means finding a workable trade for Paul will be easy. Don’t tell that Colin Cowherd, though. Chris Paul to […]

The Phoenix Suns have notified Chris Paul that he is going to be waived and will be allowed to hit NBA free agency. There will certainly be plenty of suitors for his services, despite the hall-of-fame point guard being 38-years-old. He didn’t have that great of a season with the Suns so his release makes […]

In 2021, the Phoenix Suns made a trip to the NBA Finals after being one of the laughingstocks of the league for quite some time. The Suns looked like they would be a force for a long time to come with Devin Booker and Chris Paul as the focal points of their team, but now […]

Has anyone seen the movie Shooting Stars, in which Marquis “Mookie” Cook stars as a high school-aged LeBron James? If not, go see it. Even if you never liked LeBron, it’s a great film. If so, then you should know where I’m about to go with this. In the film, it was made clear that […]

The Los Angeles Clippers, ever since signing Kawhi Leonard and trading for Paul George in 2019, have been hunting for an upgrade at the point.

The Phoenix Suns have released point guard Chris Paul, but there has been speculation that a reunion is still possible, and Skip Bayless believes the Suns should do what it takes to retain Paul because of the fit with Kevin Durant and Devin Booker. “He’s an all-time great player, and yet, the reason I like […]

The latest news surrounding the New Orleans Pelicans and its megastar, Zion Williamson, isn’t the most positive; while Williamson can do whatever he so pleases in his free time, his involvement in a nasty interpersonal entanglement with an adult star does not paint him in the best of lights. Amid all the Williamson hullabaloo, however, […]

Chris Paul and the Phoenix Suns are parting ways this offseason, putting one of the most decorated point guards in NBA history up for grabs.
