Someone Else On The Cavaliers Needs To Score, Too

The Phoenix Suns met with Chris Paul and his represenatives on Wednesday to discuss his future with the franchise, including the possibility he could be waived by his June 28th guarantee date.

The Suns insist they’re still working through multiple possibilities, including trade opportunities including Paul and Deandre Ayton.

Paul is only guaranteed for $15.8 million of his $30.8 million salary for 23-24.

If Paul is waived, the Suns are expected to stretch the $15.8 million over the next five seasons to create more salary cap space and open up the team’s ability to use the $12.2 million taxpayer midlevel.

Paul would still like to return to the Suns.

Rui Hachimura has undergone a procedure to repair a nasal fracture.

Hachimura did not accompany the Los Angeles Lakers on their four-game trip starting in Cleveland on Saturday and continuing through Philadelphia, Detroit and Oklahoma City.

Los Angeles signed Hachimura to a three-year, $51 million contract extension in the offseason.
