Warriors Making Chris Paul MOVES After Lakers Show Interest? + D’Angelo Russell To Golden State?
[Music] well looks like the Los Angeles Lakers could be interested in adding Chris Paul to their roster this off season which is exactly what we’re going to talk about here on Warriors today by chat sports I am your host Ali Barefoot I’m going to be breaking down what the Warriors should do with Chris Paul in the offseason leading up to 2024 NBA regular season but first I want to hear from you that’s why we have Warriors today by Chad Sports I talk show you facts and you guys talk down below but first things first pick one action the Warriors should do with Chris Paul type K for keep type w for wave type t for trade with his non-guaranteed $30 million contract this season let’s go ahead and break down the actual rumor here from Eric pinkis of Bleacher Report saying I would be remiss without mentioning Chris Paul is a real possibility of course talking to Los Angeles Lakers there is a reasonable chance he gets traded or just cut by The Warriors he and LeBron obviously have a close relationship there is a universe where the Lakers sign Chris Paul it makes a lot of sense to me is Chris coming for the minimum I don’t know I don’t want to say he comes cheap to the Lakers but in the absence of a better offer I could also see that so now there they did follow up to say there is a real possibility that Chris Ball could possibly go to the Lakers and I do see where he says it makes sense the fact that he and LeBron have played together the fact that they’re not really happy with D’Angelo Russell could really be looking for a veteran point point guard to take over that back court or else just get a really good role player which which is what the Warriors have had this last season and it is no secret that Chris Paul’s future is very uncertain with the Warriors right now we know that Mike dun leevy they want to make some changes in this off season $30 million a year seems like a lot to be paying a role player especially one that does not start right now for the Warriors and the $30 million for Chris Paul is not guaranteed until June 28th so a move here for CP3 could be coming a lot sooner than a lot of Warriors fans might expect so I want to make sure you guys know everything there is to know about CP3 moving forward so to keep you guys in the loop Golden State Warriors can actually wave Chris Paul’s $3 million salary just by cutting him it’s not guaranteed last year $3.8 million was he is rumored to have shopped Chris Paul at the NBA trade deadline there’s no secret that dun leevy tried to get some resources to the Warriors this year of course they’re going to use Chris Paul’s veteran asset and his $30 million to go out and get possibly a bigger player but nobody did bite and then they could trade him for other assets this offseason I was talking with Bulls now host Patrick seatman talking about hey maybe they could add Chris Paul $30 million a year tack it onto a younger player and go out and get a major superstar in the NBA right now but there are several things the Warriors can decide to do so I want to ask you guys with that $30 million a year knowing they could trade that and go get somebody that’s worth the exact same or maybe even more if they add on other players who would you want on the Warriors roster for Chris Paul’s salary of $30 million go ahead and comment that down below while you guys are doing that I’m going to talk about what the Warriors will do with Chris Paul and what I think they should do with him moving forward but before we get into that I want to tell you guys about our sponsor here on Warriors today by chat sports I’m going to tell you guys all about the number one daily fantasy sports app in America because I love this app let me tell you I’m talking about prize picks of course and here’s how you play

least four correct picks to make it up to 100 times your money but I’m just focusing on two picks right now I did combine the WNBA with the NBA postseason there’s also NHL MLB Call of Duty League of Legends MLS there are several events you guys can go on ahead and choose from right now and but I have Clark looking for the first win here for the Indiana Fever to have more than 19 and a half points Anthony Edwards He’s been crushing it for the Minnesota Timberwolves so far in this postseason to have more than three and a half boards I got game one later tonight going up against the Dallas Mavericks of course it’s also a goblin which is actually an easier pick doesn’t pay out as much but it is an easier pick and you know what I just want to be successful so if you guys want to copy feel

gameplay and an enormous selection of players and projected stat types that’s why I play prize picks go ahead and find out why you do too pick more pick less it’s that easy let’s talk about the 39-year-old who said he does not plan on retiring just yet Chris Paul has been in this league 192 years without a championship ring he did come to a championship contending team the Golden State Warriors who have dominated in the last decade but CP3 just really didn’t push the needle for me or The Warriors so far this regular season however his Advanced stats when you look at it really is not bad at all his catch and shoot from a three-point line 42% which is really great adding on to what Steph Curry can do from downtown which of course we all know his mid-range is even better 63% from the field when he shooting inside that three-point line within 10 ft and then his effective which is overall field goal percentage here 52.4% when you look at that CP3 has a lot of resources and assets still to offer do I think he fits in well with the Warriors unfortunately I don’t I really expected this to be a lot different than it was but if CP3 still has the assets to be included in a trade I definitely think you might as well shop it here’s what CP3 had to say at the end of The Warriors season after they lost the kings in the playing tournament when it’s time for that Mike D leevy and Steve Kerr will have a conversation and we’ll see what it looks like so obviously the three are going to sit down ahead of June 28th figure out what’s best for Chris Paul his family who he said he has spent the most time with him this last season because he is now within the same state as his family is so it’ll definitely be interesting to see what these three decide to do with Chris Paul moving forward and just hopefully you do hope that it is amicable and you do hope that Chris Paul is happy with the decision that they have made and he’s made but if it was me I would at least want some assets for Chris Paul there is some success in just waving them and saving that $30 million a year obviously with the Warriors who had the highest payroll last year in the NBA but I think I would really like to see what else is out there that could possibly go for $30 million player because you’re telling me there’s nobody out there that wants a veteran Point God and Chris Paul he still has some talent and a lot left here in the tank in his last couple of years in the NBA so what could the Golden State Warriors get with Chris Paul I don’t know how many NBA teams would be willing to take on the $30 million salary for possibly a role player in some scenarios you could get a starter at of Chris Paul he did hop in when there were a couple of injuries there with the Warriors but you could include him in a trade for a superstar that’s worth over $30 million if you pair him with a younger Talent like a Moses Moody A Brandon psky a Jonathan kaminga but that’s a whole another conversation whether whether or not you want to trade those three young guys with Chris Paul but I’m not sure the Lakers can commit to a $30 million contract either if they are interested in bringing Chris Paul to the roster I’m wondering if it’s more of an interest after the Warriors do wave him maybe they can sign CP3 to a vet minimum Kelly UB Jr signed a vet minimum with the Philadelphia 76ers and he is a lot lot younger than Chris Paul is as well so it makes me really intrigued here to see what the Lakers could possibly do to to bring Chris Paul to La keep him in the same state keep him in the same conference and see if Chris Paul still has a little bit left to go because if he’s 39 years old and doesn’t plan on retiring just yet it’ll be super interesting to see what they can kind of pull together to make this trade happen let’s look at a possible trade idea that could work out for both teams here D’Angelo Russell who the Lakers have out outright said they just want to part ways with Russell sometime in this off season Gabe Vincent and as well and then you will send Chris Paul and I put a 2027 first round pick maybe thinking that would be enough they might want a second round pick they might not want any first picks at all here but overall these salaries do match up yes you would be getting two point guards but here’s the beauty of it you can just pull a nice trade and flip you can use a gay Vincent or a D’Angelo Russell to immediately get another player here in the NBA you don’t have to necessarily keep them on your roster but this would get rid of Chris Paul’s $30 million a year you would tack on two players for about $30 million a year and I do think you could have some resources and assets here with a D’Angelo Russell or a Gabe Vincent in the backourt with Steph Curry but this is just a possible trade idea how do you guys feel about it let me know in the comment section down below would you accept this trade type A for accept type D for Decline and feel free to comment let me know what you would rather see if there’s a player on the Lakers you would rather see as well but I know the Lakers are pretty pretty high up on Jared Vanderbilt so the next salary guy that does match would be Gabe Vincent overall if it was my choice I probably would just wave Chris Paul just to make it a little bit easier yes I would want some assets for Chris Paul but I’m not sure what exactly you can go out and get for him as of right now so ultimately you are going to have to just possibly wave him save yourself the $30 million a year that you would pay Chris Paul and maybe make a move here before the off season starts because there is no secret that Mike dun leevy and Joe Lup want to really shed some salaries this season and because the Warriors need to cut back on cost it could be hard to trade CP3 and he didn’t push the needle he didn’t he was a role player for the Warriors he stepped in he led the team an assists he helped out in scoring but it wasn’t enough to get the job done and the Warriors now have a small window with Steph Curry and retirement to get the job done once more if anything happens here with the Golden State Warriors I got you guys covered I promise I’ll do all the work for you all you guys have to do do to be completely in the know is hit that sub button for me [Music]

Pick one for Chris Paul: Keep – Type ‘K’ Waive – Type ‘W’ Trade – Type ‘T’
Trade CP3 if there's a market as he was solid this season, but otherwise the Dubs can't afford to pay him much more than the vet minimum. Worst case just waive him for cap space and tax savings.
resign if we clear space after the trades
Trade Chris Paul,I've wouldn't have signed him in the first place!
Noooo trade for Russell, plz no! Hachimura Yes… and CP3 trade was the dumbest thing ever if you refuse to get athletic bigs so he can run pick and roll. Get Bigger and Get Better on Defense. Robert Covington or Nic Claxton or Mikal Bridges or etc. Athleticism Height Wingspan Defense and 3s
Keep em
W
I was looking to get rui or christian wood in return for cp3, instead of another 2 guards and giving out a frp
Best move if CP3 agrees
Waive him
Resign at a better number they can trade him
No ones trading for him at 30m per year
Renegotiate CP3’s contract.
D… Do not want DLO back to the Dubs!
Base on Kerr/GM style; they think CP3 is valuable and won’t trade him. But, it’s absolutely good for W’s to package him for more needed Big/Guard shooter/
Sign miles bridges day talking about this
DLo? Hell No
It was a horrible trade period
If you can do it but if not wipe the contract call it a lost. Teams got W by the balls want too much.
Tradre him for D-Lo and Vando
He's just too expensive. I wouldn't mind keeping him for the amount that Russell westbrook signed for the clippers. If we get dlo again we got to trade him maybe to the heat or the nets to get some quality role players.
T
K for Keep chris paul 😊
trade for Austin Reeves and/or one of their forwards
T
Trade Chris Paul to the East! Nets
Who gives this woman her trade ideas? Shes horrible!
Hell no that’s a dumb trade why we give the lakers cp3 especially for no mid nigga like d russ
nobody wants that trade
Thirty million dollars is a LOT of money to pay anyone on the Warriors who is not named Steph Curry.
The Warriors couldn't figure out what to do with Russell when they had him back in the 15-50 season. Why would they have a defined role for him now?
What ever best for our team. It's time to make an adjustment to better our team and for our fans 🙌
T-rade! Too much $$
Trade cp3 to LA for vanderbuilt and 2 first round picks. 🎉
