Chris Paul, Warriors agree to push back contract deadline: reports

The first major hurdle the Warriors must clear this offseason will have to wait.

Chris Paul agreed with the team to push back his $30 million contract guarantee deadline date two days — from today to Sunday. Extending the deadline date allows Golden State extra time to seek trades in which they could guarantee Paul’s contract and include it in a deal.

The maneuver was first reported by ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski.

Paul’s new deadline is now the same day as the official start of free agency.
