On June 29, Beijing time, Woj talked about the current situation of the Warriors on the latest show. He mentioned that the team is most likely to cut Paul, and has stopped communicating with Klay about offers, and it is possible to send the shooter away by signing and trading to recover some assets.
Paul's contract guarantee date was postponed. Commenting on Paul's situation, Woj said: "The most likely scenario is that they're basically going to cut Paul, make him a free agent, and sign with other teams for a much lower salary. It was previously reported that both the Lakers and Clippers were interested in signing Paul if he was cut by the Warriors. As things stand, Paul's warrior career should be over.
As for Clay, Woj said: "There wasn't really much communication [between the two sides] and no offers were made...... This could look like a potential sign-and-trade possibility so that the Warriors could reclaim some assets. ”
It was previously reported that multiple teams such as the Magic, 76ers, Nuggets, and Mavericks were interested in Klay. Clay himself prefers to stay in the West, while Stein reports that the Mavericks and Clay have a strong interest in each other.
However, some fans filmed Klay appearing in Colorado (Nuggets' state), and it was previously reported that the Nuggets see Klay as a potential replacement if they lose Pope. Pope has decided to decline the 15.4 million player option to test the free agent market.
The Warriors are interested in George, but multiple sources say they are not keen on making any trade for Kuminga this offseason, meaning that if the Clippers ask for Kuminga, the Warriors won't agree. The Warriors are primarily selling Wiggins and Paul contracts, but such chips aren't too attractive to the Clippers.
Now it seems that the Warriors are expected to have big changes to their roster next season, with Paul, Wiggins and Klay all likely leaving the team.
