The news about Chris Paul potentially becoming available after being waived by the Suns reignited a discussion among Spurs fans: Should the team get a proven veteran point guard who can run the offense and help Victor Wembanyama get accustomed to the NBA?
While Paul is clearly not a good fit for a rebuilding team, the question itself is valid. A calm, selfless playmaker who can create for Wembanyama and get him the ball in the right spots would help. But there’s no need to pay exorbitant amounts for veterans when the Spurs can simply get that type of player for cheap by retaining Tre Jones.
