Chris Paul Signs with Spurs After Warriors Waive

Veteran point guard Chris Paul has signed a one-year, $11 million-plus deal with the San Antonio Spurs after being waived by the Golden State Warriors. The move reunites Paul with head coach Gregg Popovich, who convinced him with the team's culture and the opportunity to mentor young star Victor Wembanyama. Paul's signing adds valuable experience to the Spurs' roster, which includes promising talents like Tre Jones and UConn's Stephon Castle. Despite a career-low performance last season, Paul aims to prove his relevance and contribute significantly to the development of the Spurs' young core. This acquisition is seen as a strategic step towards building a competitive team around Wembanyama.
