The Phoenix Suns did not hesitate to release a future member of the basketball Hall of Fame like Chris Paul.
Indeed, various sources, including The Score, reported that the 12-time NBA All-Star was released this Wednesday by the Arizona franchise, where he spent the last three seasons.

In fact, it is striking that the Phoenix Suns quickly threw in the towel in their attempt to trade Chris Paul to whom they had to pay a good part of the remaining $60.8 million on his contract, prior to releasing him.
With Phoenix, “CP3” comes from registering 13.9 points per game and 8.9 assists in the finalized regular round, while he added 13.6 units and 6.1 assists in the first round of the NBA playoffs, but barely played two challenges in the semifinal of conference against the Denver Nuggets due to injury. Of course, he helped them reach the league finals in 2021, despite losing in six games against the Milwaukee Bucks.

For this reason, the auction will soon begin in the market in the process of obtaining the services of a Chris Paul who, at 37, would fit in with some currency that seeks to win the title for 2023-2024, such would be the case of the Los Angeles Lakers. Or the Boston Celtics. His time with the Phoenix Suns is history.
