Why is Paul expected to leave the Spurs in the offseason? The back line is full of talents, where can we go

5:56pm, 4 June 2025【Basketball】

No doubt, Paul spent a brilliant season with the San Antonio Spurs this season. Not only did he achieve full attendance in the regular season, but more importantly, he played an important role in the team -

Paul is still one of the most trusted ball handlers on the Spurs' back line, sorting out the team's offense in an orderly manner as always, just like the important role he played in the team's entire career.

This season, Paul played 82 regular season games (the second time in his career) and averaged 28 minutes per game, contributing 8.8 points, 3.6 rebounds, 7.4 assists and 1.3 cuts per game. The assists and losses are still well controlled. This data is still at the forefront of the league and is worthy of praise.

The classical point guard is like Paul, and his butterfly passes the ball like a flower like a precise shell, which can always be appropriately delivered to his teammates. The salary of 10.46 million this season is far worth the money, not much.

However, this offseason is another time for Paul to come to the crossroads of his career. Should he continue to stay behind the Spurs to play happily or choose a team to earn money to retire, and there is a high probability that he will not have a championship in his life...

or join a team to continue to play its value and continue to compete for the championship...

However, even though there are many choices, no matter how you choose, there is no such thing as Paul.

Looking at the Spurs' strong back line next season, Fox undoubtedly occupies a starting guard spot. After all, the team spared no effort to attract him in four first rounds. This once Kings star is obviously in the Spurs' future plans.

On August 4 this year, Fox will be eligible to renew a four-year, 229 million maximum salary contract with the Spurs in advance.

The best rookie Castle of the season made a name for himself. The point guard averaged 14.7 points per game this season, and his score almost crushed Paul, and his future is promising.

Wasel, whose average salary is close to 30 million, shoulders the responsibility of firepower support on the team's bench, and it is obvious that next season is worth an important round of spots.

Don't forget, the Spurs had previously drawn the second draw with an extremely low probability, and the team is likely to choose Dylan Harper, the son of the NBA legend, who is very likely to form a defender trident with Fox and Castle.

After all, Harper, who is 1.93 meters tall, is second only to Flag's second highest pick this year, and is a well-deserved hit in the draft.

When the Spurs' back line is full of talents, how much place is there to use when Paul chooses to stay.

As arrogant as Paul, he certainly did not want to play the role of a water dispenser in a team, even though he was 38 years old.

For Paul, the ideal state is to join a team to continue to play its value and still have hope of winning the championship, but it is so difficult, isn't it?

Paul was selected by the Charlotte Hornets in the first round in 2005, and started his legendary career -

He played for the New Orleans Hornets, Clippers, Rockets, Thunder, Warriors and Spurs, and his personal honors are everywhere -

career has been selected as the All-Star 12 times so far, 11 times selected as the Best Team, 9 times selected as the Best Defensive Team, 6 times the Stealer King, 5 times the Assist King, and 1 time the Best Rookie of the Year.

2021 season is undoubtedly Paul's most recent season to the championship -

That year, the Phoenix Suns passed five levels and beat six players, eliminated the Lakers, Nuggets, and Clippers and finally broke into the West. Paul reached the finals for the first time, but unfortunately the team finally returned 2-4...
