Chris Paul spoke with Duane Rankin of the Arizona Republic on Thursday and stated he would like to remain with the Phoenix Suns this offseason.

“Absolutely,” Paul said. “That’s why I’m there.”

The Suns are exploring their options with Paul and could waive him if he's not traded by June 28th when his $30.8 million contract becomes fully guaranteed. 

“I’ve talked with my family, we’ve had conversations about what could be, what might be,” Paul said. “I’ve talked with my agent. Talked to my brother (C.J. Paul).”  

Paul joined the Suns during the 2020 offseason.

“I’m working out, training, spending time with my family,” Paul said.
