During this time, the Suns' point guard Chris Paul became the focus of major media and a hot topic of discussion in the outside world. Because the old club has informed Paul about the buyout, the team will cut him in order to free up salary space for subsequent upgrades. Subsequently, several teams expressed interest in signing the superstar, 1 out of 3! Paul's new owner was exposed, and the Lakers' offer of contract was too touching.

Paul immediately expressed his desire to return to the Suns after learning that he was going to be laid off, but the team was quite difficult to achieve. According to league rules, if Paul wants to return to the Suns after being cut, the team needs to pay a one-time salary of $15.8 million for the guaranteed part of his contract for the new season. For the team, if the one-time payment of $15.8 million is paid, this part of the salary will occupy their salary space, and it does not achieve the team's purpose of cutting him. Therefore, the Suns will most likely implement another payment method, paying Paul $15.8 million in salary over 5 seasons. According to league rules, players cannot sign a new contract without having a contract with the original team.

So, the championship-contenders saw an opportunity and threw olive branches to Paul. It is reported that the Lakers, Clippers and 76ers are interested in signing Paul after the buyout, and if he is unable to return to the Suns, he is expected to pick 1 of 3 of them. It has to be mentioned that the Lakers led the battle for Paul, and rumors of his teaming up with James have been circulating for many years, and this is undoubtedly the best opportunity. The Clippers also have a chance to visit the traditional point guard, and the team has been looking to strengthen its weak possession position. The 76ers are right because it's not certain whether Harden will stay on the team, and if he leaves Philadelphia, Paul is undoubtedly his perfect replacement.

It is worth mentioning that a Lakers insider revealed that the team offers Paul's new contract, planning to provide a multi-year middle-class contract with an annual salary of $6 million. Compared with the base salary contracts that other teams may offer, the Lakers can be described as full of sincerity, and this pension contract is more touching. According to relevant agency forecasts, the odds for the Lakers, Clippers and 76ers to get Paul are +225 for the Lakers, +450 for the Clippers, and +700 for the 76ers, respectively. Don't be surprised if Zhan Pao gathers in Los Angeles!

Although Paul's form has declined at the age of 39, his performance on the field is still efficient, especially the strength of the organizational end is still top-notch, and signing a middle-class contract is more than enough. This season, Paul still has 13.9 points, 8.9 assists, 4.3 rebounds and 1.5 steals, which has fallen to a career low. As for the current situation, Paul's words on his social media are strange. "Maybe it's hard to play with me and be my teammates because a lot of the time I'm a tendon and just want to win. If you have other different ideas, it's going to be hard to get along, and eventually it's hard for us to get along with each other. Paul said. Because of this, the superstars who worked with Paul ended up unhappy.
