Clippers ‘Seriously Considering’ Signing Household Name

After all, Paul is thought to want to return to L.A. and has a positive history with the franchise. In fact, he’s one of the most important players in Clippers history. On top of that, Paul’s last contract paid him $10.5 million to play just one season with the San Antonio Spurs. Though the 40-year-old is preparing to embark on his final career season, money does still appear to matter to him.

It may even be more important given that it’s the last one he’ll sign.

Where Could He Go?

Paul has been linked to multiple teams throughout the offseason, most of them in the West. Aside from the Clippers, the Charlotte Hornets, Dallas Mavericks, Sacramento Kings, Phoenix Suns have previously been named as suitors.

The Hornets don’t need Paul, who preferred playing for a contender anyways, due the offer additions they’ve made to their backcourt. The Mavs recent signing of D’Angelo Russell may have impacted their interest in Paul. However, the Kings are still looking for guard help despite signing Dennis Schroder. The Phoenix Suns are another franchise that could make sense for Paul, for similar reasons as Los Angeles. Yet, the Suns don’t plan to sign Paul, per Arizona Sports 98.7 FM Phoenix’s John Gambadoro.

Ultimately, it may only be a matter of time until Paul signs with the Clippers. The fact that the deal has yet to be completed could be much ado about nothing. Still, until the situation is resolved, there’s still a real question of where Paul will spend his final season.
