Although it hasn't happened yet, it's safe to assume that the Warriors won't exercise Paul's $30 million team option next season.
A 39-year-old man who averaged only 9.2 points, 3.9 rebounds and 6.8 assists per game last season is really hard to deserve an annual salary of $30 million.
However, if it is a veteran or middle-class contract version, it will be so fragrant that it can go from a hot potato to the object of 30 teams licking wildly in an instant.
Therefore, Paul in this summer's offseason is not worried about a new home, and can even wait for the offers of various teams very comfortably.
So far, according to incomplete statistics, many teams, including several traffic teams, have expressed their willingness to sleep with Paul, no, play side by side.
The Spurs were the first to strike, and they have been planning to find a pie feed master for Wembanyama to help him soar to the top of the charts sooner rather than later.
Immediately after NBA reporter Pincus revealed that Paul is likely to join the Lakers.
On December 9, 2011, the New Orleans Hornets (now Pelicans) were close to a deal with the Lakers, and Paul went to the Lakers to partner Kobe.
However, the deal was strongly opposed by other team owners, and the Hornets were in league custody at the time, and was ultimately vetoed by then-president Stern for "basketball reasons".
Now that Paul can choose to join the Lakers, no one will come out to stop him, but unfortunately he is no longer as brave as he used to be, and the Purple and Gold can no longer dominate, and it seems that there is little point in joining forces.
But being on the same team with his good friend James has always been a big wish of Paul, so it depends on whether the former continues to stay with the Lakers?
After 11 years of not being able to go to the Lakers for basketball reasons, Paul turned around and went to the Clippers next door to the Lakers.
Paul played for the Clippers for six seasons and led the team to the playoffs six years in a row, making the team a well-known empty city.
Unfortunately, the actual achievement is almost equal to zero, and the Clippers in the Paul era have only gone as far as the playoffs in the Western Conference second round.
Although the partnership didn't live up to expectations and parted ways in the summer of 2017, Paul and the Clippers got along relatively well.
In the first round of this year's playoffs, the Clippers played against the Mavericks G2, and Paul brought his children to the scene to watch the game and cheer for his old club.
There may be an old brother who squirted, don't the Clippers have the idea of renewing the lead with Paul?
Not to mention, the latest news of the new home coincides with Stein's revelation that the Clippers are also interested in signing Paul back this summer, along with the 38-year-old Lowry.
The premise is that Willis refuses to exercise his $4.03 million player option for next season and chooses to leave the Clippers for another job.
Otherwise, put Paul and Wei Shao on the bench, I am afraid that the ball will not be enough to score at all, and even the two will clash over this.
Wei Shao disappointed in this year's playoffs, averaging 6.3 points, 4.2 rebounds and 1.7 assists per game, shooting 26% and 23.5% from the field.
In last year's playoffs, Wei Shao could still average 23.6 points, 7.6 rebounds and 7.4 assists per game, and once became the absolute core of the Clippers.
It can only be said that Wei Shao, who does not have enough ball in hand, is really difficult to support.
In fact, Wei Shao and Paul are not unable to coexist, and the ghost champion coach Tyronn Lue can just adopt the suggestions of netizens, as follows:
As for Paul's choice, no one knows yet, the only thing that can be confirmed is that he wants to go to a championship team to continue his dream of winning the first championship of his career.
Or, look at the Nuggets, they happen to be short of people on the bench, and they are also dragged down by the bench if they don't have a chance to defend their title this year!
