The Warriors are unlikely to have Chris Paul back next season, despite his excellent performance and contribution to the team’s non-Curry minutes. The issue lies in the team’s financial situation, as they are looking to reduce their tax bill and may not be willing to pay CP3 what other teams could offer him as a backup point guard.
One potential destination for Paul is the Spurs, who are seeking a point guard to pair with Victor Wembanyama next season. Reports suggest that San Antonio is interested in pursuing Paul if he becomes available, as they look for a veteran player who can provide leadership and guidance to their young core. While Paul may not be the ideal long-term solution for the Spurs, he could potentially fit that role and provide valuable experience and mentorship to the team as they compete in the postseason.
The Spurs have also 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.
