Warriors to release Chris Paul, making him a free agent

The Golden State Warriors have decided to waive point guard Chris Paul as he enters free agency as an unrestricted free agent. The move comes ahead of a Sunday deadline that would have guaranteed Paul’s contract for $30 million next season. Despite attempting to trade Paul before the deadline, the Warriors were unable to find a suitable partner and ultimately released him.

Paul spent a single season with the Warriors, serving as a backup to Stephen Curry and occasionally sharing the backcourt with him. Although his scoring has declined with age, Paul remains a reliable playmaker and floor general who can contribute offensively. In the previous season, he averaged 9.2 points, 6.8 assists, 3.9 rebounds, 1.3 turnovers, and 1.2 steals per game.

As a result of releasing Paul, the Warriors are looking to reshape their roster around Curry to remain competitive in the Western Conference. Meanwhile, the future of Klay Thompson with the team is uncertain as talks have reportedly broken down, making him an unrestricted free agent. Thompson is expected to meet with various teams, including the Lakers, Clippers, Mavericks, and 76ers, as he explores his options in free agency.
