    Worst contract I’ve ever seen, in business or in sports. ;)

    “One thing I’ll never do is take this game for granted,” Paul told Yahoo Sports. “I love to play. It’s a real privilege. I’ve said this time and time again, I don’t care what type of business endeavors I’ll have set up when I’m done playing, it’s going to be so hard and tough whenever I finish playing. Because I love the game, I love the grind, I love the workouts, all of it. This game means a lot to me, and I’m so thankful to be in this position.”

    His name was linked to the New York Knicks and the Los Angeles Lakers, but Paul realized he was in the midst of something special and elected to run it back.

    “After this season in Phoenix and experiencing how amazing the fans were, my chemistry with my teammates, with [Devin Booker] Book, with Monty [Williams], I knew Phoenix was where I wanted to be,” Paul told Yahoo Sports. “It’s time to get back to work.”

    “I think the biggest thing for me and my advice is you can’t get bored with the process,” Paul told Yahoo Sports. “It’s crazy to think about all of this. My brother CJ [Paul], my agents, they see everything that goes into my training, the masseuses, the body work. I’m always working out. Getting up at three in the morning, five in the morning to go work out has paid off.”

    Has Chris Paul had earned more contract money than LBJ ?

    The last two years better be team options..but I highly doubt it.

    Karma for Sarver that now will have to finally pay.

    I highly doubt Phoenix is making back to the Finals any time soon. Getting to the Finals this season was the greatest thing to happen to CP3, because it ensured lots of money.

    Imagine if the Suns lost to an AD-less Lakers team. Suns overpaid this man.

    I feel the same way. It's hard to see them improve unless Ayton takes a massive leap into being a top 10 kind of player.

    Right now they are just a really tough out in a playoff series. Easily putting them behind the Clippers, Lakers, and Warriors next season.

    Here's what I think is an important gauge for valuing bigs: free-throw attempts. Ayton has been at 2.5 for his career. So it doesn't look like he's capable of being a focal point offensively. His greatest contributions will be on defense and rebounding. He could work on being unstoppable in those two areas. He is already a solid rebounder, but he was off his entire game against the Bucks.

    Supposedly the last year is not fully guaranteed, which makes a lot more sense for PHX. Bucher even reported that the 3rd year was not fully guaranteed, but I don't trust Bucher.

    That would exclude State Farm and Jordan Brand / Nike deals. I am sure CP has other endorsements, that is a cool $500M+

    eh, maybe behind Lakers and healthy Nuggets… but Warriors in particular will have to see to believe.

    I think Chris Paul will make a great coach someday.
