Suns expected to shop CP3 in the off-season

[BigMoneyGrip]

Following their elimination in the second round of the playoffs by the Denver Nuggets on Thursday night, the Phoenix Suns are reportedly looking to make a significant change to their roster by moving on from future Hall of Fame point guard Chris Paul.

Speaking Friday on Brian Windhorst & The Hoop Collective (beginning at the 31:30 mark), ESPN's Tim MacMahon said he expects the Suns to "aggressively shop" Paul on the trade market.

MacMahon called it "pretty likely" that CP3 will play for a different team in 2023-24 and added that he believes the Suns will try to trade Paul before June 28, which is when his guaranteed salary goes from $15.8 million to $30.8 million.

I mean he can always come to the goat squad to back up the goat pg.. we can make all his dreams come true

I think he should retire but it's too much money on the table for that. He should go to the Mavs, since I like them the least, and drain drain their budget.

I would imagine the team that trades for him is going to let him walk and not make that last year fully guaranteed. With the upcoming CBA changes, I would imagine that they wouldn't have an issue finding suitors for his services.

Nobody:


CP0 to other teams starting today:

I’m guessing he’ll get dumped to a rebuilding team, they’ll eat the partial guarantee then waive him so he can latch on to a contender

Not sure he’ll be able to get another starting job though

My grandfather used to tell me "Boi, dont take no woman that no other man wants."

You cant shop something no one wants or values

He’s washed and will never win anything

Chris Paul is a great point guard. Criticisms I make of him are from his team's playoff results. Same criticism that other greats get based on team success.

But I think the ship has sailed for him being a starter for contending teams. Great run, very long peak career, but time to transition to backup PG for a serious team.

He's going to the Lakers

If he goes to the right contender, then he might.

He makes too much though to do that in the immediate future
