Phoenix Suns star Chris Paul has a tough choice to make this offseason. He can stay with the team that he led to the Western Conference finals for the first time since 2010, or he can opt out of his $30.8 million contract and test free agency.
The 36-year-old point guard has said he loves playing in Phoenix and has a strong bond with his coach and teammates. But he also has other suitors who are interested in his services, including the Golden State Warriors. But according to Shams Charania of the Atheltic, Suns’ brass is considering waiving Paul.
The Warriors, who lost to the Los Angeles Lakers in the Western Conference Finals, are looking to bounce back and compete for another title. ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski reported that the Warriors are among the teams that would chase Paul if he becomes available this summer.
The Warriors have a core of Steph Curry, Klay Thompson, and Draymond Green that has won three championships and reached five straight Finals from 2015 to 2019. Adding Paul would give them another elite playmaker and leader who can run the offense and mentor their young players.
Paul and Green are both fierce competitors who don’t shy away from confrontation. They have a history of going at each other on the court, as they are both notorious for their trash-talking and physicality.
Can Chris Paul and Draymond Green handle each other’s egos? NBA Twitter is waiting to find out
Some fans have wondered how Paul and Green would coexist on the same team, as they would likely clash and challenge each other and their rivals. Some have even imagined that they would compete over who gets to inbound the ball or call timeouts.
Here are some of the best reactions from Twitter:
It’s hard to imagine how they would mesh as teammates, given their contrasting styles of play. Paul is a master of slowing down the game and orchestrating pick-and-rolls, while Green thrives on fast breaks and passing from the post.
So don’t expect to see Paul and Green in the same jersey anytime soon. The two stars are better off as rivals than as allies. They will continue to battle it out on opposite ends of the floor for the foreseeable future.
