    • Cut loose by Golden State
      The Warriors waived Paul on Sunday, Chris Haynes of Turner Sports reports.

      Advice: Paul's $30 million salary for 2024-25 would have been fully guaranteed had the Warriors opted to keep him on the roster until free agency officially began at 6 p.m. ET Sunday, and after no trade partner emerged for the 39-year-old point guard, Golden State opted to cut him loose. Though he career-low 9.2 points on 44.1 percent shooting from the field in 26.4 minutes per contest over his 58 appearances in 2023-24, Paul still demonstrated aptitude as a playmaker (6.8:1.3 assist-to-turnover ratio). Paul could still have plenty of appeal around the league as a stopgap solution at point guard, though at this stage of his career, he's more ideally suited for a sub-30-minute starting role or as a lead guard off the bench.

    • Chris Paul to be waived by GSW, enter free agency
      Chris Haynes of TNT reports that the Warriors will waive Chris Paul, and he will enter free agency.

      Advice: Paul and the Warriors agreed to push back the guarantee date on his 2024-25 $30 million salary to search for a trade partner, but no deal emerged. Paul is past his prime, but he should still draw plenty of interest due to his high basketball IQ, elite passing and veteran leadership. Rotoworld Today, 2:46 pm
       
    • Woj: Max Christie to ink 4-year, $32M extension
      ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski reports that Max Christie intends to sign a four-year, $32 million deal to remain with the Lakers.

      Advice: A 2022 second-round pick out of Michigan State, Christie averaged 4.2 points and 2.1 rebounds across 14.1 minutes in 67 appearances last season. Woj notes that Christie has been a “developmental success story” for the Lakers, but that doesn’t mean he’ll be a success story for your fantasy hoops team. There’s no reason to target Christie in 2024-25 drafts. Rotoworld Today, 2:13 pm
       
    • Staying in L.A. on four-year deal
      Christie agreed Sunday with the Lakers on a four-year, $32 million deal, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.

      Advice: After tending a qualifying offer to Christie, the Lakers had the right to match any offer the young guard might have received as a restricted free agent, but the two sides worked quickly to come to terms on a new deal. The 21-year-old appeared in 67 games (seven starts) in his second NBA season in 2023-24, averaging 4.2 points, 2.1 rebounds and 0.9 assists in 14.1 minutes. He fell out of the rotation during the postseason, but the Lakers' financial commitment to Christie likely suggests he's expected to become more of a key cog on the second unit in 2024-25.

    • Haynes: ‘Growing optimism’ PHI signs Paul George
      According to TNT’s Chris Haynes, there is “growing optimism” that Philadelphia will sign Paul George in free agency.

      Advice: George’s desire for a four-year deal factored into his decision to opt out of the final season of his contract, as the Clippers have only offered three-year pacts thus far. Philadelphia has long been rumored as a potential landing spot for George, and the 76ers clearly remain interested despite reports to the contrary on June 20. George will reportedly hold meetings with the Clippers, 76ers, and Magic when free agency begins, but it’s fair to wonder if this report changes things for LA and Orlando.

    • Becoming restricted free agent
      San Antonio extended Duke a qualifying offer Sunday, Jeff Garcia of KENS 5 San Antonio reports.

      Advice: Duke didn't appear in a game for San Antonio last season until April despite being on a two-way contract. Still, he was a standout performer with the Spurs' G League affiliate, and the Spurs will now have the option to match opposing offers. Rotowire.com Today, 7:19 am
       
    • To hit free agency
      The Kings did not extend a qualifying offer to Edwards, Sean Cunningham of Fox 40 Sacramento reports.

      Advice: Edwards is now set to become an unrestricted free agent. He made 54 appearances for the Kings in 2023-24 but didn't make much of an impact with an average of 1.7 points in 5.1 minutes per contest. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 8:35 pm
       
    • To become free agent
      The Pistons declined Umude's (ankle) team option for the 2024-25 season Saturday, Michael Scotto of USA Today reports.

      Advice: Umude missed the end of the 2023-24 season with a hairline fracture in his ankle, and a timetable isn't currently known. Umude will now have to test the open market as a free agent after making 24 appearances with the Pistons last season with averages of 5.3 points, 2.1 rebounds and 1.0 three-pointers.

    • Report: Damion Lee declining Suns player option
      According to Hoops Hype’s Michael Scotto, Damion Lee has decided to opt out of his player option with the Suns ahead of the 2024-25 season.

      Advice: Lee missed all of last season with a meniscus tear and will look to pursue a new deal after taking all of 2023-24 to recover from surgery. He averaged 8.2 points, 3.0 rebounds, and 1.3 assists per game in his lone full season with Phoenix. Rotoworld Yesterday, 3:07 pm
