선즈가 Chris Paul에게 그를 웨이브 할 것이라고 알렸다는 소문입니다. 6월 말까지 그를 웨이브 하면, 30.8mil의 연봉 중 보장된 15.8mil만(?) 지급하면 된다고 하네요.

The Phoenix Suns have informed Chris Paul that he will be waived, which will allow him to become a free agent this offseason, sources tell Chris Haynes of Bleacher Report.
The Suns have until late June to waive Paul with only $15.8 million of his $30.8 million salary next season guaranteed.
Paul's production during the 22-23 season dropped off and he also was injured again during their playoff run. Paul plans to play for several more seasons and hopes to join a championship contender.
Brian Windhorst reported earlier in the week that the Suns could bring Paul back at a number below his $30.8 million salary.
Chris Paul Wants To Remain With Suns Amid Possible Trade, Release
선즈가 Chris Paul을 두고 다양한 가능성을 검토 중이라는 소문입니다. 그 중 하나는 Deandre Ayton을 포함한 트래이드라고 하네요.

The Phoenix Suns met with Chris Paul and his represenatives on Wednesday to discuss his future with the franchise, including the possibility he could be waived by his June 28th guarantee date.
The Suns insist they're still working through multiple possibilities, including trade opportunities including Paul and Deandre Ayton.
Paul is only guaranteed for $15.8 million of his $30.8 million salary for 23-24.
If Paul is waived, the Suns are expected to stretch the $15.8 million over the next five seasons to create more salary cap space and open up the team's ability to use the $12.2 million taxpayer midlevel.
Paul would still like to return to the Suns.
Rival Execs Expect Wizards To Engage In Full Rebuild Under Michael Winger
리그 관계자들은 워싱턴이 Michael Winger를 고용한 이유는, 구단을 완전히 리빌딩 하기 위해서라고 본다는군요.
JUN 7, 2023 11:47 AM
When Michael Winger was hired by the Washington Wizards, sources told The Athletic that Ted Leonsis autonomy to rebuild the roster if that's the direction he decides is best for the franchise.
The Wizards have long resisted embarking on a rebuild and have been firmly in the middle of the NBA since John Wall's injuries in the 18-19 season.
“We spent hours and hours and hours together on the phone, on Zoom, in person,” Winger told The Athletic of Leonsis. “I was really moved by Ted’s vision for the team. And I thought to myself, ‘He is all about the right things and he’s proven he’s all about the right things because he’s done it with the Caps.’ There’s a real potential here to be great. There’s a real potential here to help these players grow. There’s a real potential here to give the fans an enjoyable team.”
Many rival executives expect Winger to engage on a full rebuild either this offseason or within the next year. At this time, Winger says he doesn't know which direction he'll go.
Bradley Beal has four years remaining on his five-year, $251 million contract signed last offseason. The deal contains a no-trade clause, which would mean partnering with Beal on a trade if the Wizards decide to take that route. Kristaps Porzingis and Kyle Kuzma are free agents this offseason.
“The raw, unfiltered truth is, I haven’t yet crafted the immediate vision for the franchise,” Winger said. “There are a lot of talented and high-character players on the team. I want to get to know them a little bit. The construct of a team isn’t just a matter of what is demonstrated on the court. It’s not just a matter of the box score. Team dynamics are personal, and I think that I need to understand those things before hatching an actionable plan. And I know that that’s not necessarily measurable in this moment. But it is the truth.
“Then the question is, well, are you going to trade Brad? Are you going to keep Brad? I don’t know. I would like to meet with Brad. I haven’t yet met with Brad. What are you going to do with K.P.? What are you going to do with Kuz? I don’t know. They have choices. They have the power of choice, as does Brad. So, what I really want to do is I want to get to know these guys. If the visions align for being competitive and doing things the right way with a little bit of patience, absolutely there’s a path forward with them.
“I don’t think we’re going to be an overnight title contender; that I’m pretty confident about. And so, if they would rather pursue immediate winning, then they probably do have to pursue that somewhere else. But I think that there’s a very open dialog, a very open invitation to talk about the future of the team — the near-term future and the long-term future — and see where goals align and see where they don’t align.”
Damian Lillard Wants Blazers To Use Assets To Build Competitive Team
포틀의 Damian Lillard는 포틀에서의 우승을 원하며, 따라서 구단이 경쟁력 있는 팀을 꾸려주기를 원한다고 말합니다.
JUN 7, 2023 9:03 AM
Damian Lillard wants to win. He ideally wants to do it with the Portland Trail Blazers. Lillard knows that changing teams won't guarantee success, so he'd prefer the Blazers try and build a competitive team themselves.
“I want to have an opportunity to win in Portland," Lillard said. "We got an opportunity, asset-wise, to build a team that can compete. If we can’t do that...then it’s a separate conversation we would have to have."
The Trail Blazers have the third overall pick at the 2023 NBA Draft. It's been suggested that Portland could package that pick with current players to bring in win-now talent.
Lillard has repeatedly said that has no interest in being a part of a rebuild. But the Portland star has also said he's not at the point of asking for a trade from the only franchise he's ever played for.

Herro has been out since suffering the injury in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference quarterfinals against the Bucks.

Adrian Griffin 'Humbled' By Opportunity To Coach Title Contending Bucks
벅스의 새로운 감독인 Adrian Griffin은, 벅스와 같은 재능 넘치고 최근에 우승한 팀에서 감독 커리어를 시작하는 자신은, 겸손할 수 밖에 없다면서, 팀을 둘러싼 높은 기대를 잘 알고 있고, 이를 받아들일 것이라 말합니다.
JUN 7, 2023 4:06 PM
Adrian Griffin was introduced to the media as head coach of the Milwaukee Bucks on Tuesday. Griffin is a first time head coach with a team that won the championship two years ago and will enter next season with aspirations of winning another one.
"Let's be real," Griffin said. "What first-time head coach gets to coach the Milwaukee Bucks, with all the special talent on this team? I'm extremely humbled."
Griffin spent 15 year as an NBA assistant since the end of his eight-year NBA career.
"Yes, we have high expectations, but we're going to embrace them," Griffin said. "But it starts by getting to work. Never lose sight of the work involved. I think going undrafted and going the minor league route, it taught me the value of hard work. That's what we're going to build upon from day one."
