In news that was sure to make the mobile phone of Chris Haynes explode on Monday afternoon, he announced that the Phoenix Suns plan to waive future Hall of Fame point guard Chris Paul. An astonishing turn of events for the 38-year-old, given that his current teammates in Devin Booker, Kevin Durant and DeAndre Ayton represented his best ever chance to win a championship.
It is not yet known what this actually means for where Paul will next suit up, and we will return to that later, but it is clear that head coach Frank Vogel and the front office of the Suns are done beating around the bush in trying to win it all.
