Shortly after, Shams Charania of the Athletic added to Haynes’ report on Paul with a story of his own, stating that the Suns are considering multiple options for the 38-year-old’s future, including trades, stretching the guard’s contract after waiving him, or potentially re-signing him to a cheaper deal.
