The Phoenix Suns made headlines a couple of weeks ago when the news broke that they were planning to waive their perennial All-Star point guard Chris Paul. Paul has been a member of the Suns since 2020 and was key in the team’s playoff run to the 2021 NBA Finals. The decision being made by Mat Ishbia, the Suns’ new owner, and the front office could have ripple effects on the Philadelphia 76ers’ offseason free agency.
Paul has been linked to the Philadelphia 76ers before.
Entering the 2020-2021 NBA season, Paul was coming off one of his most complete seasons having played 70 games with the Oklahoma City Thunder and showing he still had good basketball left in him.
