I don't know how the specifics and rules work but is Danny able to have a meeting or conversation with Chris Paul? I'm guessing not since he isn't a FA until next year right
I believe a team can get permission to speak to a player. Or maybe that was in the past?
Anyway, that usually occurs when both teams have agreed with the parameters of a trade. If a trade is contingent on the player expressing interest in the new team.
We don't seem close to that scenario here.
