It’s highly unlikely that Chris Paul will be back with the Warriors next season. This is not because of his performance, which has been excellent and helped improve the team’s non-Curry minutes. The issue lies in the financial situation of the Warriors, who are looking to reduce their tax bill and may not want to pay CP3 what other teams might offer him to be a backup point guard.
One team that could be a good fit for Chris Paul is the Spurs, who are in search of a point guard to pair with Victor Wembanyama next season. Reports suggest that San Antonio could be interested in pursuing Paul if he becomes available. They are looking for a veteran player who can provide leadership and guidance to their young core, and Paul could potentially fit that role.
While Paul may not be the ideal long-term solution for the Spurs, he could provide valuable experience and mentorship to the team as they look to compete in the postseason in the coming years. If he can develop a good relationship with coach Gregg Popovich, it could be a beneficial arrangement for both parties.
It is worth noting that the Spurs have been linked to other point guards like Trae Young in trade rumors, but sources indicate that this may not be a likely scenario. Instead, San Antonio may be more interested in pursuing players like Dejounte Murray from the Hawks, who could be a better fit alongside Wembanyama in the future.
