With news of Bradley Beal’s trade to the Phoenix Suns filtering through the league on Sunday, the NBA landscape has already shifted less than a week after the Denver Nuggets won their first ever championship.

Per reports by Josh Robbins of The Athletic, there are many league executives who seem to believe that the […]

Chris Paul is one of the smartest players in the NBA today. His playmaking is elite, and the way he manages the floor to put his teammates in a position to succeed has been well documented. There’s a reason he’s called the Point God. With those qualities, it’s no wonder why many see him as […]

A Bradley Beal trade between the Washington Wizards and Phoenix Suns might very well hinge on Chris Paul. It’s not Beal’s desire to play with the point god that could prevent a deal from ultimately getting done, though. On the contrary, Paul’s inclusion as the salary centerpiece of a trade could be what gets discussions […]

The Phoenix Suns have emerged as a “serious threat” to trade for Washington Wizards guard Bradley Beal, according to The Athletic’s Shams Charania. Beal has a no-trade clause and the right to approve or deny a trade he is included in. The Miami Heat are also contenders to land Beal, Charania reported. The pathway to […]

The Los Angeles Lakers reportedly plan to pursue Chris Paul if the veteran guard ends up being waived by the Phoenix Suns. However, that puts D’Angelo Russell’s future with the team in question as he enters free agency. Apparently, though, the Lakers are also interested in keeping Russell to have him form what could be […]

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.

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. If the future Hall-of-Famer ultimately hits the open market, though, it seems highly unlikely he’d re-sign with the Suns for pennies on the dollar. […]

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.

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.

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.

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 […]
