Trade & FA 2023-24: Stein-Ingram Trade Inevitable| LAL Want Lebron Back On Any Terms

[DanSchwartzgan]

Crazy time.  It appears Paul wants to stay in PHX but he wants to keep his current contract.  If released, the Suns will have a hard time re-signing him if a team in LAL comes calling.  But maybe the market for him is really dry and he wants to stay in the West Coast. 

The new Suns owner has moved quick.  I was a Monty fan, but I thought they wound up fine their with Vogel and keeping their young assistant coach.    The Paul dance will need to be a delicate tightrope walk.  Very tricky.  And maybe he is not worth the trouble at his age.  But, I can guarantee you Cuban would screw up that tightrope walk 10 different ways.  Lets see how the new owner in PHX handles it.  Again, any move they make at least short term needs to be factored in that they think it makes them closer to a championship.

If a team can send Chris Freaking Paul packing, it tells you this new CBA stuff is serious.
