![]() ![]() Suns having discussions about Chris Paul future but have not made a decision as of this time. The idea is the Suns would explore trade options - for Paul and Deandre Ayton - but waiving before June 28 could happen, according to the reports. The second wave of reports says the Suns are exploring options with Paul of which waiving him is just one, with similar reporting from Duane Rankin of the Arizona Republic and Shams Charania of the Athletic, among others. Which seemed the logical path the Suns would take. Soon after Haynes’ Tweet, multiple other reports from Suns sources came out pushing back on the idea he would automatically be waived. Phoenix expected to discuss trades ahead of Paul’s June 28 contract date. Sources: The Suns and Chris Paul are exploring multiple options, including a trade, stretching his contract, or waiving and re-signing him in free agency. Instead, the Suns informed Paul they intend to waive him before the deadline, making CP3 a free agent, reports Chris Haynes of Bleacher Report and Yahoo. Paul for a couple of rotation players would be a way for Phoenix to add needed depth to the roster. There was a lot of talk in league circles that the Suns would try to trade Chris Paul around the NBA Draft - he still had $60 million over two years on the books, but only $15.8 million of it is guaranteed (all of that this season) with a June 28 guarantee date. ![]() LeBron in 20, Abdul-Jabbar in 1974 and Shaq in 1995 did not. Here’s each with the player’s stats/leader’s stats (rank in the series): Add the percentage for each category, so a perfect score is 300%.īefore his 300% this year, LeBron had 293% in 2012 and 290% in 2013. If he had 30 points per game to the leader’s 40 points per game, that’s 75%. So, if a player led the series in a stat, it’s 100%. To measure how close a player came to leading the Finals in all three major stats, we’ll add the percentage of the leader in each per-game category. In 2013, LeBron led the series against the Spurs in points and assists but finished third in rebounds to Tim Duncan and Kawhi Leonard. In 2012, LeBron led the series against the Thunder in rebounds and assists but finished second in points to Kevin Durant. ![]() Nobody had come closer than him in 20 with the Heat. Really, it shouldn’t be a surprise LeBron broke that barrier. The Cavaliers forward became the first player to lead a Finals in points, rebounds and assists – averaging 35.8, 13.3 and 8.8 per game. This is no knock on him.īut he doesn’t hold a candle to LeBron James’ production. Iguodala had an impressive series, the culmination of a stellar and unselfish season. Andre Iguodala – fittingly, though not deservedly – won NBA Finals MVP. ![]()
