His current goals include competing and mentoring, which comes as a surprise to many. Chris Paul has found a new team. He’s signing with the Spurs in San Antonio, where he’ll partner up with Victor Wembanyama in an intriguing duo. Paul, who is 39 years old, teams up with the youthful French prodigy following the point guard’s departure from the Warriors and his status as a free agent.

While ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski broke the news of Paul’s departure from the Warriors, Chris Haynes of TNT and Bleacher Report broke the news of his signing with Gregg Popovich’s squad. Paul’s new deal is for a single season and will pay him $11 million.

Chris Paul was relegated to a supporting position in the Warriors’ second unit and only lasted one season with the team. Despite playing in 58 games (40 as a substitute), he failed to make an impact with the San Francisco side, averaging 9.2 points and 6.8 assists in 26.4 minutes.The supporting cast for Wemby is rather intriguing.

The Warriors did not promise Chris Paul his $30 million contract for the upcoming season. In the wake of his dismissal, he has traveled to San Antonio to be with Victor Wembanyama and another young player, a Spanish phenomenon, whom the team acquired in the draft.The 20-year-old point guard Juan Núñez has just joined the NBA as number 36 thanks to the San Antonio Spurs, who have recruited the unique talent and vibrant style of play of the clairvoyant and perceptive 20-year-old.

After the Pacers first chose Núñez, they traded selections 35 and 36 with the German Ratiopharm Ulm and sent him to San Antonio. After a three-year absence, Spain’s point guard is drafted for the first time. Prior to 2021, the only examples were Santi Aldama and Usman Garuba.
