NBA star Chris Paul will join Steph Curry and the Golden State Warriors following another massive NBA trade deal this week. The Washington Wizards, who just traded for Paul on Sunday, will deal him to Golden State in exchange for Jordan Poole, Ryan Rollins, a 2030 first-round pick and a 2027 second-round pick. Beyond the unfathomably distant draft picks, the Warriors’ exchange of Poole for Paul is an obvious sign that the team is looking to bolster its short-term outlook. Though Poole is a budding NBA talent coming off a career-best scoring season, the 2019 first-rounder also struggled mightil...

The Phoenix Suns are reportedly preparing to waive Chris Paul, which would end his three-year tenure with the team and allow the team to pursue younger talent. Reports suggest that Paul wants to sign with a title contender for the 2023-24 season, and based on his ability at age 38, the 12-time All-Star could end up on a number of rosters. The current front runner to sign Paul is rumored to be the Los Angeles Lakers, who may be in need of a point guard if they fail to resign D’Angelo Russell. Based on the team’s run to the Western Conference Final this season with LeBron James at the helm, Paul...

LeBron James released a statement on social media criticizing the NBA after the league banned Phoenix Suns owner Robert Sarver for one year and fined him $10 million for abusive workplace conduct. James, along with other NBA players, believe that the punishment is not enough. “I gotta be honest…Our league definitely got this wrong,” James said on Twitter. As the face of the NBA, James’ dissenting opinion represents a schism between players and management regarding Sarver’s actions. Following a 10-month investigation, the NBA found that Sarver used racist and misogynist language in the workplac...

The relationship between fans and players has been a focal point in many different sports recently—most notably the NBA, with Chris Paul’s family getting harassed in Dallas at Game 4 of the Suns-Mavericks series. That’s not even getting into Draymond Green and Kyrie Irving giving fans the double bird. As the rowdy Dallas fan was escorted out of Game 4, Paul could be seen on video saying to him, “I’ll see you later.” It’ll be much later, as the fan has been banned until 2023. Reports surfaced that the fan put his hands on Paul’s mother and his wife was also shoved. His children were also in att...

Those rowdy fans are at it again. As if watching a close relative play in an NBA playoff game wasn’t stressful enough, several of Chris Paul’s family members also had to deal with verbal and physical confrontation Sunday at Game 4 of the Western Conference semifinals between the Dallas Mavericks and Phoenix Suns—a 111-101 Dallas win that tied the series at 2. Paul addressed the situation on social media: “Wanna fine players for saying stuff to the fans but the fans can put they hands on our families….f**k that!!” Paul’s mom, Robin, and his wife, Jada, and their two children were behind the Sun...

Devin Booker —”homies” with a dinosaur— finished with 28 points, Chris Paul 20 and 11 assists, as the Phoenix Suns rallied to beat the Dallas Mavericks 109-101 Thursday. Phoenix (35-9) swept its season-long, five-game road trip to win its ninth straight against the Mavericks thanks in large part to outscoring them 35-19 in the fourth frame, during which Paul tallied 10 of his points. “Chris knows when to go,” Dallas coach Jason Kidd said. “He showed that again in the fourth quarter.” Luka Doncic scored 28 points, Jalen Brunson 19, and Kristaps Porzingis 18 points and 11 rebounds for the Mavs (...

Chris Paul was two wins away from winning his first NBA championship after the Phoenix Suns took an early 2-0 series lead. Unfortunately, Phoenix was unable to close out the Milwaukee Bucks, who mounted a comeback to win the series and the title on Tuesday. The Suns became just the fifth team in Finals history to lose after starting the series up 2-0. Paul became the first player in league history to lose four playoff series in which his team held a 2-0 lead. “It will take a while to process this or whatnot, but it’s the same mentality,” Paul said after the Bucks’ 105-98 series clincher. “Get ...

Chris Paul, until very recently, was on the precipice of having a career marred by “what-if” and “if only.” A slate of injuries and disappointing performances had many questioning whether the guard would ever redeem his previous stardom. Then the 2021 NBA playoffs commenced. Paul has propelled the Suns to their first NBA Finals appearance since 1993, with the point guard dropping 41 points in the clinching game. He has reinvented his game in nearly every facet – he is physical, aggressive, dazzles with electrifying jukes and dribbles, shoots the ball from range, drives to the hoop, dishes out ...
