It is unlikely that Chris Paul will return to the Golden State Warriors next season due to financial reasons. While Paul’s contributions to the team have been significant, the Warriors are looking to reduce their tax bill and another team is likely to offer him more money than Golden State is willing to pay for a backup point guard.

One potential destination for Paul could be the San Antonio Spurs. The Spurs are in need of a point guard or lead ball handler to pair with Victor Wembanyama next season. Sources have indicated that San Antonio could be interested in pursuing Paul if he becomes available.

The Spurs are looking for a player who can be a long-term or medium-term fit at point guard to complement Wembanyama and help the team grow and compete in the postseason in the future. While Paul may not be the ideal choice, his veteran leadership could benefit the team if he were to join forces with coach Gregg Popovich.

On another note, there have been rumors among Spurs fans about the team potentially acquiring Trae Young in a trade this summer. However, sources have indicated that San Antonio is more interested in a player like Dejounte Murray, as they do not see Young as a good fit with Wembanyama moving forward.
