Although it is thought that the Wizards will move Chris Paul after acquiring him via the Bradley Beal trade, there is a path that would keep the veteran in Washington, according to NBA insider Adrian Wojnarowski.
While the priority for the Wizards is to move the 12-time NBA All-Star, but the team is also preparing to keep Paul in case other options don’t work out.
“Chris Paul is waiting now for the Washington Wizards to continue trade conversations around the league about expanding this two-way deal with the Suns into a three-way deal that perhaps could send Chris Paul to a contender…,” Woj said, via HoopsHype.
“If they’re not able to do this, Washington imagines a scenario I’m told, where Chris Paul is their point guard this season. They’re in a rebuild, they’re reshaping this roster. I don’t sense they’re trying to bottom out and really tank tank.”
