Chris Paul Will Not Retire In Offseason 

Post#1 » by RealGM Wiretap » Wed Apr 17, 2024 3:07 pm

Chris Paul has no plans to retire this offseason as he all but certainly hits free agent. Paul's $30 million contract with the Golden State Warriors for 24-25 is non-guaranteed and they're not expected to pick it up unless it is used in a trade.


“I’ll talk to my wife and my kids, my family, my support system, see what it looks like,” Paul told The Athletic. “But this isn’t (the end of my career). I know it for sure.”


Steve Kerr talked about wanting Paul back with the Warriors next season.


“I haven’t thought about it,” Paul said. “I’m too in it. I was in the gym at 8 a.m. this morning, lifting and getting ready for this game. When it’s time for that, Mike (Dunleavy) and Steve (Kerr), we’ll have a conversation and see what it looks like. But I loved it. It’s honestly — this is my fifth year living without my family — I probably saw them more than any other year.”

Why the F not? 3 points and 2 assists in 18 minutes says you should retire CP.

A return to OKC would be interesting.

Because some team will give him $10 mil for 1 year to be a back-up pg, and then the year after that, another team will sign him to the vet minimum.

No one will want him in a trade at 30 mil a year either.

Took him long enough to finally find a way to defeat the Warriors in the playoffs.

Spurs and pelicans seem like good spots. he can help out wemby for sure by being a floor general and actually passing him the ball unlike his teammates. and NO needs a PG in general
