[Stein] Chris Paul’s $30 million salary for next season becomes fully guaranteed on June 28…Warriors, league sources say, are currently evaluating those options…Another option, I’m told, that has not yet been ruled out is Golden State and Paul agreeing to move that guarantee date into July

I’d rather we just move on and let the young guys finally step up entirely. May also mean moving Wiggins and focusing on getting a solid starting 5.
I guess it’s interesting that the possibility exists. The missing piece is what’s in it for CP3 to extend the date?
I don’t think there are any good teams who want to pay him the full 30m. Certainly not the Lakers. So from his point of view he might as well be a free agent.
For the Lakers, maybe they want to move DLo, but what other salary would they throw in? Same with the Spurs. They would need to give us Keldon Johnson plus one more guy.
I suppose if we start throwing in unprotected firsts?
But if the Warriors want to do a trade, June 28 is probably enough time. It’s a day after the draft.
If salary caps didn’t exist, I would love to see him come off the bench again. But they do and we already can’t afford this team lol
Omg trade this bum he’s too old to play a full season
#Simplicity is beautiful.
#Just let the dude walk.
(lol some of yall love being mid)
he was a steadying force amid all the turmoil of this past year, but I think they need to find a balance between the floor of ball control and the swings of fast-paced chaos.
If they keep him on a decent deal while giving more minutes to Moody and making some other changes around the margins, I wouldn’t mind. I’m also fine with them deciding to move off him and get something in return, tho.
I hate CP and always have and this past season has been the hardest ever to watch as a Warriors fan with this sucka in our jersey. I knew it wasnt going to result in shit him being on our team but i didn’t think our season would end like it did. Mikey needs to do right by all true dubs fans and get this mf off my mf team! That is all.
Edit: that’s strike 1 Mikey. 2 more your outta here!!!
This shouldn’t be a difficult decision… let him go.
If the plan is to dip below the 2nd apron, Chris gone.
goodbye sweet prince
If CP3 suddenly becomes 5 years younger and grows to 6’7, I’d love to keep him.
Keep him for another year. TJD and Moody loves him on the floor.
He’s still a good productive player but he also is just not a good fit as his weaknesses (old, unathletic and undersized) overlap with the rest of the Warriors issues. Best to let him walk or use him as a trade piece if possible.
CP3 wants his money – I bet he moves it to July
anybody wanting to keep a 30 million dollar chris paul on this roster is absolutely not serious about steph getting a 5th ring.
I don’t think Chris is coming back if Joe really wants to dodge the tax line completely.
Team still needs a true big and more size.
