Phoenix Suns general manager James Jones said he is “confident” that the team will have a conversation with starting point guard Chris Paul regarding his impending contract negotiations “that will make everyone happy” during a Zoom call with local reporters on Thursday night.
Paul, who helped lead the Suns to their third NBA Finals appearance and first of his career during his opening season with the team in 2020-21, could enter unrestricted free agency on Monday if he declines his player option of $44.2 million, which is viewed as the most likely scenario.
