The San Antonio Spurs finally decided to pursue Chris Paul after he'd been mentioned as a target several other times. Now, the 20-year veteran is set to bring his expertise to the NBA's youngest squad.
The NBA offseason has just entered its busiest time. The draft is over. Teams have their rookies — or future prospects, like Juan Nuñez — and now the focus shifts to all of the players who are up for extensions or new contracts with new teams.
So far this offseason, the Spurs have elected to take a patient approach this offseason. They found a point guard who can learn to play a facilitator role next to Wembanyama in Stephon Castle, but electing him over a bona fide star-caliber one guard means they're willing to wait.Using both of their second-round picks and trading away the No. 8 pick to the Minnesota Timberwolves further proved that.
It makes sense why the NBA's youngest team wanted to bring in a player like Paul. They've only scratched the surface of what Victor Wembanyama can do on a basketball court, so finding a player who could effectively get him the ball was priority No. 1.
