On July 1, 2024, Beijing time, according to Haynes, Chris Paul plans to sign with the Spurs, and the two sides reached a one-year, 11 million contract. San Antonio promises to be the new city of air connections.
Paul had a great conversation with Bobo before he decided to join the Spurs, and he was attracted to the Spurs' culture and opportunities to help Wemban's game. At the same time, Paul remains hungry and motivated to prove that he is still an elite defender in the league.
Originally, the Warriors wanted to trade Paul's contract for George, but the Clippers rejected it. After the operation, the Warriors simply laid off Paul, Paul's salary next season was originally 30 million, but because the contract is not guaranteed, the Warriors do not need to pay him salary to cut him.
Last summer, the Warriors traded for Paul with Poole as the main body. Now Paul has been cut, and this is a change of air with Poole. Last season, Paul averaged 9.2 points, 3.9 rebounds and 6.8 assists in 26.4 minutes per game in 58 games for the Warriors. So far in his career, Paul has played for six teams, namely the Hornets, Clippers, Suns, Rockets, Thunder and Warriors.
Looking at the 39-year-old Paul's stats, although his personal ability has declined, his veteran leadership ability, especially organizational ability, is still top-notch. Paul has also worked with many great interior players before, including Griffin, Jordan Jr., Howard, Capela, Ayton, etc., and under Paul's leadership, these interior players have played very well. Wemban, under Paul's leadership, will definitely play more powerfully, and he will play more easily.
Paul and Wembanyama are naturally the best combination, after all, Wembanyama is a superstar who won the Rookie of the Year last season, and is expected to be the face of the next stop in the league. Paul's addition is undoubtedly beneficial to Wembanyama's growth, and we are looking forward to the new season!
The famous commentator Wang Meng commented: "That's it, old Paul let go of the pursuit of the championship!" "Coming to a place where he is better suited to his strengths, Paul finds the best home, and Wembanyama gets the best mentor. In a few years, Paul may take over the whip directly from Bobo, and Wenban will lead the team to win the championship!
Paul's goal was to give more to whomever he wanted. Now at this age, you should have seen it, it doesn't matter if you are a champion or not, the money you get is real. I wonder if Popovich will start Paul or not?
Fans, are you looking forward to the Wemban + Paul combination? Can Paul take the Spurs to the next level
