Jun 30, 2024, 09:43 PM

The Golden State Warriors are waiving veteran guard Chris Paul, making him an unrestricted free agent, sources tell ESPN. The decision comes on the day of Paul's $30 million guarantee date. This move follows the recent trade that brought Paul to the Warriors in exchange for Jordan Poole. The trade now effectively serves as a salary dump for the Warriors, allowing them to reset their financial commitments and become a full non-taxpayer mid-level team. The release of Paul marks a significant shift in the Warriors' roster strategy.
