Confirmed to leave the team, Paul personally inherited the two teams intentions, and may achieve his long-cherished wish of joining the Lakers after 15 years.

There are many NBA superstar veterans who will become free agents this year. For example, Westbrook, Harden and Paul, Westbrook and Harden may still have the possibility of staying in the original team, but for various reasons, Paul, who is already 40, will most likely leave the Spurs and join the 8th team of his career, and continue to pursue the championship by himself.

Last year, Paul joined the Spurs with a salary of $10.46 million in one year. At that time, the team thought that Paul could not only serve as the team's point guard, but also control the offense and defense rhythm. Secondly, new stars such as Newenban and Castle also need a veteran on the court to provide guidance. But plans never keep up with changes.

The Spurs traded a younger All-Star point guard Fox in the mid-season, and was lucky to win the second draw in the draft, selecting Dylan Harper, a double-sports defender from Rutgers University. The joining of the two players instantly left Paul's place in the team, so the possibility of them reaching a contract renewal this year is very low.

Secondly, Paul also said in a recent interview that he no longer wants to make his basketball life run too hard, and he wants to choose a team close to home. With Paul averaging 8.8 points, 3.6 rebounds, 7.4 assists and 1.3 steals per game last season, there is no problem with getting a veteran's basic salary contract. But which team will the Lakers and Clippers in the end, which team will he choose?

Regularly speaking, Paul once played for the Clippers and was more familiar with the team. He once averaged 19 points, 4 rebounds, 10 assists and 2 steals per game for three consecutive seasons. It was the peak of his career. But then again, the current Clippers' lineup is completely different, and rejoining is no different from changing teams. And there is another past event that may make him hesitant to join the Clippers.

Chris Paul once joined the Houston Rockets after he left the Clippers. The team had good competitiveness in those years, but he never crossed the Warriors' mountain. In the end, the team used Paul to get Westbrook from the Thunder trade. As for this incident, it was the trading demand made by James Harden himself that the Rockets sent Chris Paul away.

And now, James Harden is likely to continue to stay in the Clippers. After Paul joins, the two will be in the same team again. For Paul, this may be the reason why he tends to join the Lakers. Once Paul joins the Lakers, he will realize his dream 15 years ago.

As early as 2011, the Lakers, Rockets and Hornets (now Pelicans) planned a big deal in the league. The Lakers sent Paul Gasol and Odom to get Chris Paul, Hornets sent Chris Paul to get Odom and Martin, Scola, first round, Dragic, Rockets sent Kevin Martin, Scola, Dragic and the first round pick to get Paul Gasol.

If this deal is reached, Paul, who was at the peak at the time at the age of 27, and Kobe, who was still at the end of his peak, the super backcourt he formed will definitely focus on a large number of spotlights. But in the end, the deal failed. David Stern, then president of the league, refused the deal for "basketball reasons", and Paul also regretted that he failed to join the Lakers.

However, now, Paul joining the Lakers with a basic salary is a good choice, which not only meets his requirement of playing close to home, but also makes up for the regret of not being able to join the Lakers 15 years ago. The most important thing is that in the Lakers, there is not a small chance of winning the championship.

As one of the most popular teams in the league, the two superstars, James and Doncic, have already given the Lakers very high competitiveness. In addition, the new boss of the team has joined the Lakers this year. Judging from the way the new boss runs the Dodgers, he is also a manager who likes to spend a lot of money to quickly improve his competitiveness. And this may allow Chris Paul to realize his dream of winning the championship in his 21st season of his career at the age of 40! Which team do you think Chris Paul will eventually join?
