Going into this past off-season there was a fair amount of speculation surrounding the guard situation for the San Antonio Spurs. Tony Parker had just gone down in the playoffs, Dejounte Murray had only shown flashes of his potential, Manu Ginobili was mulling retirement, and Patty Mills and Johnathan Simmons were both free agents. (Side note: Johnathan Simmons has been tearing it up in Orlando and it’s awesome.)
With all that uncertainty and speculation, rumors began to grow that Chris Paul would give the Spurs serious consideration when he hit the free-agent market.
