New Chris Paul Update Amid Lakers, Clippers Rumors

The Golden State Warriors have several different options this summer when it comes to Chris Paul. The veteran's $30M contract becomes guaranteed on June 28th, which means Golden State can use that expiring salary in a trade, guarantee it and keep Paul, waive it and allow him to enter free agency, or mutually agree to push the date back. Several reports have indicated at least some level on interest in Paul from the Los Angeles Lakers and LA Clippers. For the Clippers, their potential need for guard help will be dependent on what Russell Westbrook does with his player option, while the Lakers may be looking to add a veteran facilitator like Paul regardless of what happens to their current roster.
