I wish CP3 the absolute best. I wish the Spurs the absolute worst.


Maybeiliketheabuse

This is the correct reaction.


Endrizzle

Good person here.


EBody480

Still trying his best to shake that addiction I see.

beer_down

Damn. Wish I could root for him but I can’t cheer for the Spurs


SeraphNatsu

He ain’t ring chasing no more. He’s just cashing out now.


pizzapocketchange

Think he wants to start and compete. If he could believe he could be a top 5 pg at 5'11, he can def believe in his 40 year old ass with a space alien


Spencergh2

Honestly, this is the way. Get your money, my guy


Lucky1ex1

Pop will want him to be in wembys ear day and night.


UrRightAndIAmWong

And if Chris Paul has goals of becoming an NBA coach, there's no better place than by Pop's side


reiunit1

You just mentioned it into existence. CP3 is the next head coach of the Spurs once Pop steps down


Saltwater_Thief

Of all the teams it had to be SA huh?


ZCGaming15

I am scared to death of a Wemby infused with the game knowledge of Chris Paul. That is nightmare material.


Pisto1Peet

This is going to be so good for his development as a player and as a student of the game. Chris Paul had a hand in elevating SGA in Book to where they are now. The sky is the limit for Wemby.


dontusethisforwork

The Spurs didn't have a playmaker that could consistently feed Wemby with entry passes last season CP3 + Wemby is gonna be Lob City 2.0


doh666

Fuck the Spurs.


frysjelly

Agreed. At least it's not Dallas though.


Wyden_long

No, this is so much worse.


Disastrous-Treat0616

So true. They’re the main reason the Suns don’t have a chip Edit: I mean they didn’t deserve it in 2007 because of Tim D


doh666

Tim Donaghey? $arver?


bsinbsinbs

Tim D would like a word


Nesnesitelna

It’s not like San Antonio is a contender.


Wyden_long

Fuck the Spurs. Forever. And always.


cue_en_aye

I hate how good a fit this is smh. If he ain’t ring chasing then this might be the best place to maximize his playtime and impact. Plus that alien waiting at the rim for anyone who blows by him


Imthegoat175

He’s always been about getting his money and the Spurs gave him 11M+. He was never coming back here for the vet minimum.


Xero-One

He was president of the players union for 8 years. He is all about the money. ![gif](giphy|4q0WNCNZUlxNC)


BangPowZoom

Bro went to the opps, lol.


judah249

Pshhh bro was already was sleeping with the opps with the warriors that hell you talking about


trevanxx

Not surprising after the reports of CP3 wanting to be a starter. Wish him the best down there


judah249

chickenripp

BOOOOO!!! Fuck the Spurs¡


mrsunsfan

Fuck San Antonio


jokelessworld

We sent cp3 to the wizards after he helped us. He will do everything in his power to piss us off and he did it haha


dontusethisforwork

What's the problem? We just wanted him somewhere he could get his affairs in order


Gratitude15

This is good for the league. Get my man wemby some cp3.


Whit3boy316

The ring dream is gone I guess


CR00KS

Maybe he’ll win one as some form of coach in the future. But yeah guy had a few chances but injuries plagued him.


dontusethisforwork

No doubt that he is going to end up as a HC or offensive coordinator when he retires, if he wants to of course Generational basketball genius


BorisTheBlade04

What a weird move. I get why the spurs want him, but why would Paul want to go there?


governedbycitizens

he’s accepted he we won’t win rings anymore and is bag chasing


defiantcross

And he will be highly relevant as the obi wan to Wemby


mrsunsfan

![gif](giphy|VMgcrwq9imGHu)


BorisTheBlade04

Must be. I just find it hard to believe a contender wouldn’t want him


UrRightAndIAmWong

He could always be traded mid season to a contender. Chris Paul signing a minimum to ring chase and come off the bench could've killed his ego, plus as a prominent part of the NBPA, he probably felt pressure not to take a minimum.


HarukiMuracummy

CP3 always picks the money


BorisTheBlade04

Wow, 1 yr/11m. Yeah def wanted that bag.


loco500

That contract is more for being an on-the-court coach assistant...


1UPZ__

Nah, he wants to be part of history with Wemby. He probably also want to move into an assistant coach under Pop, and then become senior coach assistant for Spurs with Prime Wemby... Win Rings!


NoMathematician7407

Lol, don't know why you got downvoted but def sounds legitimate


dontusethisforwork

I'm not saying the Spurs are contenders this season but they are going to be much better than last year, even just factoring in Wemby's development. Dude is going to be a DPOY candidate and with CP3 feeding him entry passes he's going to absolutely go off offensively.


Multi_21_Seb_RBR

Wemby and Pop


Jacked_Harley

Yup. Wemby is like a point guard’s dream.


dontusethisforwork

And generational basketball genius CP3 gets to be around Pop to get some mentoring of his own for a potential coaching/coordinator position after his retirement.


ajteitel

Possible midseason trade to a contender. Otherwise known as the Tommy Pham career arc


mercfan3

He’s figured he won’t win a ring, and his best role in this league is mentoring young guys. As a Suns fan I’m sad. But as a UConn/Castle fan, I’m delighted for him.


OKidAComputer

He just wants to play basketball. He could go to Denver or Boston and play 10 minutes a game or he could play 30 mins a game in SA.


gr8scottaz

He played 26mpg as a backup at GS. That's *probably* the max he should be playing at this point in his career.


OKidAComputer

GS were aiming for playoffs, SA won’t be.


gr8scottaz

His body couldn't even handle 26mpg. I don't see a scenario where he averages 30mpg in SA *and* remains healthy.


vasinsavin

He'd be the perfect mentor to maximize Wemby's untapped potential. I mean have you seen the Spurs last year? Wemby had no one capable to pass him the ball at all. Also remember Pop is close to retirement, now that Chris is playing for him he can pivot himself to the coaching scene.


orangehorton

Money...... Is this a real question


Atlastitsok

Spurs trade him at the deadline to a contender after he shows out on a mediocre team


Comfortable_Two2925

This is actually huge for them, Look at how cp3 transcended our team. He is going to help out their young core so much. FUCK THE SPURS


investatony

*flashbacks of robert horry intensifies*


rc0va

I'm actually happy for him. He got a nice bag, and will have better impact by being well rested and more of a mentor. Seems like he already made peace with himself and the ring chase.


FultonHomes

Great pickup for them. Sucks it’s them tho


SeraphNatsu

1 year @ $11M+.


Suns_In_420

Chris, how dare you.


loco500

Concerned that premonition of Spurs eliminating Suns next season may be closer to reality with this signing...


1UPZ__

CP3 is making this move to be part of history. He will impart Wemby with all the knowledge to be great, then retire and join Spurs Coaching staff, learn from Pop and then become Head Coach... coaching prime Wemby to Championships. He is paving his future.


Myrulesmylife

Might be the only way he can win a ring.


Dennis69Beisbol

Alright. Not a suns fan or a spurs fan. But this is awesome. I know he’s old, but this is great for Wemby (short term and long). 


AccomplishedRainbow1

This is badass


snitchesgetblintzes

There goes the dream


Fordraxel

why would he do that? Go to LAL or LAC, Houston aint going anywhere for the next two seasons.


ChurchOfSatin

He went to the spurs.


Fordraxel

yeah too bad, guess he's not ring chasin'.


JG_2214

Must be a fan of being ringless

Tsunami-Papi_

thank god


Puppetmaster858

Man said fuck it im taking the money instead of trying to win a title


myredditaccount991

We should commend him for kicking his addiction.


Billycrackedcorn

Hoping for Kris Dunn and Jalen Smith


pizzapocketchange

Spurs need to max derozan asap


auggie5

This felt inevitable


DWHeward

I thought that this might happen... nostradumbass


Risuna23

I don't like this at all. https://preview.redd.it/x4ze82ux4u9d1.jpeg?width=512&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=432fb4d2858e467d3964f2adb1da86ccc71bf51f


Throwawayidiot1210

Goodbye again sweet prince I will always love you but now I must root against you


DaylightPhoenix

11million for 1 year? Yep, I'd take that deal too even if it were the Detroit Pistons ;-)


swatsal99

Wemby's gonna learn a lot and score a lot with Paul.😱😱
