Chris Paul is still chasing that elusive first NBA title and after his future is being discussed on Wednesday, he'll likely be searching for a new home next year. It was initially reported Phoenix informed Paul they are planning to waive him, but recent reports indicate the Suns are exploring all options including: waiving and re-signing as well as trade avenues.
The 38-year-old veteran point guard is in the twilight of his eventual Hall of Fame career's landing spot not might be the place you think.
That's right, Broooooklyn. Reuniting Paul with ex -Suns teammates Mikal Bridges and Cam Johnson makes too much sense. In fact, the trio made an NBA Finals in 2021 and in fact led the Bucks 2-0 before dropping four straight and the series.
The Nets have been lacking a true point guard send distributor since James Harden quit on the squad.
It's unclear what Paul's contract demands will be and his willingness to play on the east coast, but basketball-wise it's an absolutely no brainer.
If the Nets, who are rumored to be in the Damian Lillard sweepstakes, pull the trigger on that deal, Paul could be a finishing piece for a contending team.
