40-year-old Paul may say goodbye to the Holy City! The Mavericks lead the battle, and the Lakers and Clippers follow closely

According to the latest news from the US media, the San Antonio Spurs are planning a major reshuffle in the backcourt. With the growth of Fox and Castle, as well as the potential rookie Dylan Harper, and the urgent need for ball rights to grow, the 39-year-old legendary point guard will most likely end his short Spurs career. Sources revealed that the team has clearly informed Paul's team: There is no 40-year-old veteran in the new season's lineup.

Open Paul's report card this season, you will be amazed at the veteran's "reverse growth": attendance rate: 82 games, full attendance, Iron Man attributes are full; efficiency value: average 8.8 points and 7.4 assists per game, and Paul's fuel tank still has oil. The odds offered by the bookmaker show that the Mavericks rank first, the Lakers followed closely behind, and the Clippers unexpectedly entered the top three.

The truth that the Mavericks urgently need a point guard is hidden in the bandage on Irving's left knee. Dallas holds the No. 1 pick and locks in potential star Flag (NCAA averages 21.4 points and 9.1 rebounds per game), and Paul can be both a temporary starter and transform into a locker room leader. The Lakers' sentiment has become the biggest selling point. The deal that was not completed 14 years ago - Paul and Kobe were stopped by the league - may now make up for the regret by joining forces with James. Another team in Los Angeles also extended an olive branch. Paul once led the Clippers to the playoffs six times, and his status in team history is undisputed. This return can make up for the unfinished ambition of "an absent-connected city". Paul's field control ability can significantly improve the problem of connection segment collapse.

Standing at the intersection of your career, Paul's decision-making weight has become clear. Paul, who has a total career income of $400 million, faces realistic considerations at the end of his career. Paul still has unfinished dreams in his heart. As one of the greatest "uncrowned kings" in league history, he has always had a slim relationship with the championship in his 19-year career. In the 2018 Western Conference Finals, when the Rockets led the Warriors 3-2, Paul's hamstring injury became a turning point, and it also became the closest but most regrettable moment in his career to the championship. The veteran who has been fighting for 20 years will make the final decision within the next 30 days. No matter what team robe you wear for the next stop, Chris Paul's name has long been engraved on the monument of basketball history. This time, he is not only choosing a team, but also defining how to write the final chapter of the legend. Where will the last assist from the point guard God be passed? The bright prospects of Dallas, the unfinished love in Los Angeles, or the unexpected dark horse's emergence in the middle of the road - in the next 30 days, this game around the legendary point guard will usher in the final chapter.
