A few hours after being waived by the Golden State Warriors, 39-year-old guard Chris Paul agreed to a one-year, $11 million-plus deal with the San Antonio Spurs, sources told ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski on Sunday.
Paul, a 12-time NBA All-Star and 19-year veteran, teams up with one of the league's most intriguing young talents in 20-year-old Victor Wembanyama.
The Spurs, after finishing the regular season 22-60, entered the offseason in search of a point guard to help facilitate the ball to Wembanyama, who led the team in points (21.4), rebounds (10.6), steals (1.2) and blocks (3.6) in his first season in the NBA. Paul, who came off the bench for the first time in his career last season, will look to fill that role as a one of the most prolific assisters in the league -- Paul is third all time in assists with 11,894.
ESPN Insider Kevin Pelton breaks down the contract and hands out a grade on the deal.
