The backcourt has limited chances of playing, Paul may leave the Spurs and turn to the Mavericks

According to B/R reporter Eric Pincus, future Hall of Famer Paul is expected to leave the Spurs and switch to the Mavericks after becoming a full free agent this offseason. Since Irving will miss most of the next season due to a torn ACL ligament on his left knee, the Mavericks urgently need to introduce a point guard in the offseason, and Eric Pincus believes that Paul will be the ideal candidate.

Eric Pincus wrote: "Paul is 40 years old, but he is still an efficient leader in the Spurs. The team is still fighting for the playoff spot before Vinbanyama's season reimbursement due to deep vein thrombosis. The Spurs may want Paul to stay and value his experience and ability, but with Fox, Rookie of the Year Castle and point guard Dylan Harper expected to be selected for the second draw, the veteran may be more inclined to choose the best-selling position. Teams that offer more opportunities to play. Although he is closely connected with the Lakers and the Clippers (his family is set in Los Angeles and cannot be completely ruled out), he may join a team with an injury to the starting point guard. "

This season, Paul played all 82 games for the Spurs, averaging 8.8 points, 3.6 rebounds and 7.4 assists per game, shooting percentage of 42.7%, three-point shooting percentage of 37.7%, and free throw percentage 92.4%.
