Suns Coach Reveals Truth About Chris Paul Situation

The Phoenix Suns have not waived Chris Paul

It was initially reported by Bleacher Report's Chris Haynes that the Phoenix Suns planned to waive Chris Paul, but it has now been officially clarified by their new head coach Frank Vogel that Paul has not been waived.

Speaking with Chris Mannix of Sports Illustrated, Vogel said the following:

"Obviously there was a misunderstanding yesterday. We did not waive Chris, as was reported. But there's ongoing conversations about all of the options to improve the roster. I personally communicated with Chris and feel strongly about the opportunity to work with him. He's someone I've just had an immense respect for over the years, not only just his game, his toughness, IQ, he's one of the great winners our game has ever seen. He's done so much for this team the last few years, so I'm really hopeful to have an opportunity to work with him this next year, and I think he can really help us get over the top."
