Re: CHRIS PAUL TO BE WAIVED?

I’d take D-Lo cheap, he’s a free agent, but I’m not paying him what he probably wants
He still realizes we're his best chance at a championship. Seems he's willing to make it work so we're not financially handicapped.Superbone wrote: ↑Thu Jun 08, 2023 12:17 pmWe know the bad stuff about Paul. He's fallen off a 50% cliff due to age and he can't stay healthy in the playoffs. But the good thing about him is that he's such a basketball head that he understands the Suns financial situation and he is willing to work with them in order to optimize the team.
I looked into this and it turns out the Suns have one business day after waiving him to inform the league that they want to stretch the contract. I suppose this means they can waive him at 8 am on a Friday (after the draft, for example) and they have until Monday afternoon to decide.
Where did you find this?

It's in the (current) CBA, Article VII, section (d), paragraph 6.Split T wrote: ↑Thu Jun 08, 2023 1:01 pmWhere did you find this?

Just read it, thanks!

Yeah, any new rules would not apply.Split T wrote: ↑Thu Jun 08, 2023 2:23 pmJust read it, thanks!

But not even sure the new cba would be in effect as we’d have to waive him before July 1st
Though that 15.8 million in dead cap will still be on our books in the new cba, so maybe the rules would then allow us to now stretch it? We’ll see.JeremyG wrote: ↑Thu Jun 08, 2023 3:28 pmYeah, any new rules would not apply.Split T wrote: ↑Thu Jun 08, 2023 2:23 pmJust read it, thanks!

I do believe the guarantee date can be pushed back by mutual agreement, however (unless that doesn’t apply when crossing league years). For example, if one or both parties want the waiving to happen during free agency when he can immediately talk to teams.
