Reports surfaced that Chris Paul was waived by the Phoenix Suns, but head coach Frank Vogel claimed the team did not waive Chris Paul after all. Rumors have surrounded Chris Paul’s future with the Phoenix Suns as the organization will have to pay Paul over $30 million if he isn’t waived before June 28.
As a result, Chris Paul’s odds at legal NBA betting sites favor the Los Angeles Lakers to be his next team. Paul’s exceptional passing and pick and roll offense makes a good fit with Anthony Davis and LeBron James.
Chris Paul hasn’t made any comments about where he would like to play, but he doesn’t make a good fit on the Los Angeles Clippers considering his relationship with Paul George. Although there isn’t much to it, Paul George has denied media comments about Chris Paul and the two refused to shake hands after a game.
Betting Odds for Damian Lillard’s Next Team
- Portland Trail Blazers -300
- Miami Heat +350
- Brooklyn Nets +750
- Philadelphia 76ers +1000
- New York Knicks +1600
- Chicago Bulls +4000
- Toronto Raptors +4000
- Golden State Warriors +5000
Damian Lillard has remained loyal to the Portland Trailblazers throughout his career despite never coming close to an NBA Championship. Lillard recently expressed his desire to join the Miami Heat, influencing his +350 odds at legal online sportsbooks to play down south next season.
However, the Trailblazers have expressed their desire to build around Damian Lillard, and are willing to move the No. 3 pick in the NBA Draft to add another star to their roster. The Miami Heat are at their peak value with +350 legal sports betting odds if a trade doesn’t work out and Lillard states he wants out.
