The Golden State Warriors find themselves at a tough crossroads as the new CBA strictly limits teams from spending or else they’ll face numerous restrictions when it comes to roster building.
The Warriors for years have eschewed the salary cap and spending to field contending-level teams, but after missing the 2024 NBA Playoffs the organization is looking to pivot.
Their upcoming restructure will mean the loss of multiple high-priced veterans, most notably Klay Thompson who appears to be on his way out.
However, eyes will be on Chris Paul who recently moved his guarantee date on the final year of his contract to July 8.
This move gives Golden State more time to search for a deal to move the legendary point guard, though him getting bought out is the most likely result if they can’t find a trade.
If Paul were to be bought out, the Phoenix Suns are reportedly interested in a reunion via Jake Fischer of Yahoo.
“The Suns have been connected to a potential reunion with Chris Paul if he’s waived today by the Warriors. Phoenix will look to the veteran’s minimum market for point guard help,” Fischer reported.

Like the Warriors, the Suns are limited in terms of spending power but will still have veteran minimum contracts to offer to players looking to ring chase alongside Devin Booker, Kevin Durant and Bradley Beal.
Paul was a serviceable lead guard for Phoenix during his time there and would be a solid upgrade at the position should he find himself available on the market.
