5.7 million in one year! The Mavericks offer Paul! It is expected to join forces with 3 No. 1 picks

On June 21, according to open-air stand reporter Eric Pincus, the Mavericks are helping Irving find a substitute point guard and may sign Paul with a mini middle class special case ($5.7 million a year). In fact, the Mavericks are looking for more than just a substitute point guard. Irving is missing the first half of the season, so this new player has to start.

If Paul can join the Mavericks, he will join forces with three No. 1 picks: Irving, Davis and Flag. Paul is also paying attention to Flag's dynamics: "I trained in Los Angeles during the offseason, and Cooper Flag is also here. I have met him in the training hall several times. According to the training situation I have seen, Flag is indeed well-deserved." In this year's draft, the Mavericks held the No. 1 pick and had already decided to choose Flag. The Spurs won the second draw, and they were basically sure to choose the double-time defender Dylan Harper. The Spurs wanted to train Harper and refused to use the second draw for Durant. Add to that of the season's best rookie Castle, the Spurs' back line is too crowded, and Paul's chances of returning are slim.

Paul was born on May 6, 1985 and is 40 years old. His family is in Los Angeles. Speaking of whether to retire, Paul said in an interview: "My son just turned 16 and his daughter is 12. For the past six seasons, I have lived alone and have not been able to accompany them to grow up. I want to continue playing, and I also want to be a good dad."

If Paul wants to play and his family at the same time, he can only go back to Los Angeles to play. The Clippers want to find a substitute for Harden, and Paul is indeed the best candidate, and both sides are also interested in reuniting. The Clippers should be the Mavericks' biggest competitor. Paul is familiar with the Clippers and Harden, and can still go home to grow up with his two children.

Paul played 82 regular season games with the Spurs this season, all of which were starters. He averaged 28 minutes per game, scoring 8.8 points, 3.6 rebounds, 7.4 assists, 1.3 steals and 1.6 turnovers, and his three shooting percentages: 42.7%, 37.7%, and 92.4%. He ranked 7th in the league in assists per game, and his free throw shooting percentage set a career high in the NBA!

The 20th season of his career, and he can play 82 regular season games, Paul is the only player to do it. Nowitzki played 77 games in his 20th season of his career, ranking second in history, and Paris ranked third in history in 74 games. Paul played 82 regular season games last time, which can be traced back to the 2014-15 season, exactly ten years ago.

Paul never stings in coaching young players. In the 2019-20 season, Paul brought the young Thunder into the playoffs. At that time, Alexander was in his second year of his career and was in the stage of rising football. Paul taught him a lot. Recently, SGA said in an interview: "Paul is not only my brother and mentor, but also my close friend. I rely on him very much!"

Spurs' best rookie Castle said: "Paul made me understand a lot of tactical understanding. I am so happy to understand these tactics. He also told me not to put too much pressure on myself, after all, this is only my first season. Rookies will inevitably make mistakes. The important thing is to constantly summarize and grow in these mistakes."

Paul is not worried about his next home. Where do you think he will go next?
