Free agent guard Chris Paul has agreed on a one-year, $11 million-plus deal with the San Antonio Spurs, sources tell ESPN.

Picked three PGs in the draft. Now they added a veteran teacher. Makes sense. Everything to avoid another season where Wemby's teammates cannot get him the ball.

I think Wemby is going to get A LOT out of this collaboration. The Spurs are such a smart organization.

Wemby appears to be the right young star. If he was your normal young kid, I would be worried bringing a know it all veteran who wasn’t elite any longer.
Pauls should provide some stability there and be an adult in the room. Not sure I have been crazy about the spurs offseason so far though.

What he “knows it all” about the most is high screen-and-roll basketball. They are going to start using Wemby like Dirk and it’s going to work.
Obviously, this doesn’t make the Spurs competitive, but I love it in terms of expediting development.

Honestly a sneaky good signing for San Antonio. They were literally 1 competent point guard away from being a playoff team. I think they are that now even if CP3 is on his last legs.
As long CP3 is healthy, Spurs are kind of scary imo.
14x All-Star, 12x all-NBA, 1x MVP, 1x Finals MVP, 1 NBA Championship: Dirk Nowitzki, the man, the myth, the legend.

really good move by the spurs tbh but does it mean CP will settle for a retirement ringless? thought he would join a contender tbh.

At least he’s not going out like Westbrook.
He’s going to start and play an important role. I do think this is the end for any championship aspirations, yes, but there’s a certain dignity in this decision, imho.
Dez Bryant seems to think they’re a playoff team now “at least”…lol.
