Why would he do this? If he knew Phoenix was willing to move on from him, this play would decrease the Suns’ ability to do so while increasing his odds of choosing where he goes next.īy having the league believe that the Suns are going to simply waive him, it decreases his overall value on the market. Reporting for NBA Countdown on the Suns beginning conversations with Chris Paul on his future with franchise /2DoOaRX3fV- Adrian Wojnarowski June 8, 2023Īssumedly, Chris Paul provided Haynes with half of the information. Per Chris Haynes, who clearly has an open text message thread with the Point God, it appears that Golden State is likely to hold on to CP3, however. If the Golden State Warriors did this move simply in an effort to salary dump Jordan Poole’s contract, and if they choose to waive Chris Paul, he could return to the Suns. Because of the two trades, Bogut could have resigned with the Warriors. In July 2016 the Warriors traded Andrew Bogut to the Mavericks, and in February 2017 the Mavericks traded Bogut to the Sixers, who waived him. There is a loophole, however, and that is if that player is traded again then waived. This rule is intended to prohibit teams from bypassing salary cap laws by trading a player to another team and then signing him to a new deal right away. The “reacquisition rule” prevents teams from doing this. The way it works is simple: if a team that trades a player, and then that player is waived, they cannot return to the team that traded him. What is unique about this transaction as it relates to the Suns is it opens the door for the possibility of Chris Paul potentially returning to the Valley.
He’s going to get the shot attempts and will be relied upon to do so as the team is amidst a massive rebuild. Instead, they received a decrease in efficiency and a player who Draymond Green deemed punch worthy.ĭo not be surprised if Poole averages 30 points-per-game next season with Washington. It wasn’t the smartest move last offseason by Golden State to drop that kind of money on Poole, but they hoped they would see a quality return on their investment.
This is an astute move by the Warriors, who sent Jordan Poole to Washington, along with his 4 year, $128M contract. Washington and Phoenix have finalized the Bradley Beal trade, landing the Wizards six second-round draft picks and four first-round pick swaps, sources tell ESPN.
