On June 29, according to American media reports, the Warriors are trying to lay off Paul, who has an annual salary of $30 million, and let him join other teams with a base salary, so as to significantly reduce the salary line to introduce potential reinforcements such as George.

On June 29, Woj, a well-known basketball reporter from ESPN, reported that 39-year-old Chris Paul and the Warriors have agreed to postpone the guaranteed date of $30 million in his contract next season until free agency opens.

According to The Athletic's Anthony Slater, Paul only agreed to postpone that date by one day, July 1.

And ClutchPoints reporter Brett Seigel said the Warriors are going all out to make a blockbuster trade. The Warriors have pushed back the guaranteed date of Paul's contract to give them more time to try and broker a deal, and the first name on the trade list is Clippers forward Paul George, who is currently at an impasse with the Clippers and is likely to leave, according to several NBA league sources.

Woj spoke on the show about the Warriors delaying the guaranteed date of Paul's $30 million contract by one day.

"It gives the Warriors an extra two days to find a trade for Paul, but the most likely scenario is that they cut Paul and Paul becomes a free agent and signs with another team for a lower salary," Woj analyzed. ”

Previously, according to another basketball reporter, Eric Pincus, the Warriors will avoid the luxury tax as much as possible, and Paul is unlikely to get a $30 million contract in the final year. Once he waives his contract, he will end up with the Lakers with a base salary of $3.3 million.

For the Lakers, Paul has a very good relationship with James, and at such a cabbage price, why don't the Lakers want to?

In this regard, netizens have said, "Los Angeles welcomes you"

"You just say that no one wants Paul in the market."

"Just go back to the rocket, refer to the example of Paul driving the sun"

"If it's cut, it depends on whether the Spurs can win it, with a bungalow"

"30 million is really hard to get, no one will want something of high value without it."

"Personally, I don't think the deal is big, maybe there is salary space except for the Huo Sai, but the Huo Sai should not want it, and I will directly lay him off to bring young people!"

"If you cut it, the old gun's phone won't be blown up? Lakers, Spurs, Pelicans, Rockets, Grizzlies, Magic, Cavaliers... ”

"The base salary is back to the Thunder, the field is organized, and Alexander can kill as much as he wants"

"Whether it's traded or not, Paul's $30 million contract will definitely not be executed next season."
