More on this storyline
League sources believe Andrew Wiggins, who struggled to find a consistent role last season, will be aggressively dangled in trade talks. The Warriors are also working hard to find a trade partner for Chris Paul, whose non-guaranteed $30 million salary for 2024-25 could be useful for matching purposes—but they have only until Friday, the last day they can waive Paul before his deal becomes fully guaranteed for next season. (Unless Paul and the Warriors agree to push the guarantee date into July.) -via The Ringer / June 26, 2024
The Warriors also don’t have much time to wait before they need to determine whether or not they’ll pick up guard Chris Paul’s $30 million team option for the 2024-25 NBA season. That deadline is on Friday, June 28. During his pre-draft press conference Monday, Warriors general manager Mike Dunleavy didn’t give away much of a strong inclination around the team’s plans for Paul. “We know what it is. We planned for it,” Dunleavy told reporters. “I think it’s more difficult about balancing the salary versus the quality of player and taking that into account, which makes it tough.” -via NBC Sports Bay Area / June 25, 2024
Dunleavy commented on the organization’s stance regarding the timing for Paul’s contract and its possible flexibility. “I’m okay with the date. I guess we’ll see if that changes,” Dunleavy said. “But for now, I’m good with it. I understand the rules. We’ll abide by it.” In his first season with the team in 2023-24, Paul was a key part of the Warriors’ bench, averaging 9.2 points and 6.8 assists per game in 58 appearances. It’s not often a team has the ability to bring in a 12-time All-Star to relieve a 10-time All-Star, but the Warriors had that luxury with Paul playing behind Steph Curry. -via NBC Sports Bay Area / June 25, 2024
