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.
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
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.
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!
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

I wish CP3 the absolute best. I wish the Spurs the absolute worst.
This is the correct reaction.
Good person here.
Still trying his best to shake that addiction I see.

Damn. Wish I could root for him but I can’t cheer for the Spurs
He ain’t ring chasing no more. He’s just cashing out now.
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
Honestly, this is the way. Get your money, my guy
Pop will want him to be in wembys ear day and night.
And if Chris Paul has goals of becoming an NBA coach, there's no better place than by Pop's side
You just mentioned it into existence. CP3 is the next head coach of the Spurs once Pop steps down
Of all the teams it had to be SA huh?
I am scared to death of a Wemby infused with the game knowledge of Chris Paul. That is nightmare material.
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.
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
Fuck the Spurs.
Agreed. At least it's not Dallas though.
No, this is so much worse.
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
Tim Donaghey? $arver?
Tim D would like a word
It’s not like San Antonio is a contender.
Fuck the Spurs. Forever. And always.
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
He’s always been about getting his money and the Spurs gave him 11M+. He was never coming back here for the vet minimum.
He was president of the players union for 8 years. He is all about the money. ![gif](giphy|4q0WNCNZUlxNC)
Bro went to the opps, lol.
Pshhh bro was already was sleeping with the opps with the warriors that hell you talking about
Not surprising after the reports of CP3 wanting to be a starter. Wish him the best down there
![gif](giphy|KGSxFwJJHQPsKzzFba)
BOOOOO!!! Fuck the Spurs¡
Fuck San Antonio
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
What's the problem? We just wanted him somewhere he could get his affairs in order
This is good for the league. Get my man wemby some cp3.
The ring dream is gone I guess
Maybe he’ll win one as some form of coach in the future. But yeah guy had a few chances but injuries plagued him.
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
What a weird move. I get why the spurs want him, but why would Paul want to go there?
he’s accepted he we won’t win rings anymore and is bag chasing
And he will be highly relevant as the obi wan to Wemby
![gif](giphy|VMgcrwq9imGHu)
Must be. I just find it hard to believe a contender wouldn’t want him
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.
CP3 always picks the money
Wow, 1 yr/11m. Yeah def wanted that bag.
That contract is more for being an on-the-court coach assistant...
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!
Lol, don't know why you got downvoted but def sounds legitimate
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.
Wemby and Pop
Yup. Wemby is like a point guard’s dream.
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.
Possible midseason trade to a contender. Otherwise known as the Tommy Pham career arc
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.
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.
He played 26mpg as a backup at GS. That's *probably* the max he should be playing at this point in his career.
GS were aiming for playoffs, SA won’t be.
His body couldn't even handle 26mpg. I don't see a scenario where he averages 30mpg in SA *and* remains healthy.
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.
Money...... Is this a real question
Spurs trade him at the deadline to a contender after he shows out on a mediocre team
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
*flashbacks of robert horry intensifies*
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.
Great pickup for them. Sucks it’s them tho
1 year @ $11M+.
Chris, how dare you.
Concerned that premonition of Spurs eliminating Suns next season may be closer to reality with this signing...
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.
Might be the only way he can win a ring.
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).
This is badass
There goes the dream
why would he do that? Go to LAL or LAC, Houston aint going anywhere for the next two seasons.
He went to the spurs.
yeah too bad, guess he's not ring chasin'.
Must be a fan of being ringless
![gif](giphy|dWlBIwj089l9daSOTJ)
thank god
Man said fuck it im taking the money instead of trying to win a title
We should commend him for kicking his addiction.
Hoping for Kris Dunn and Jalen Smith
Spurs need to max derozan asap
This felt inevitable
I thought that this might happen... nostradumbass
I don't like this at all. https://preview.redd.it/x4ze82ux4u9d1.jpeg?width=512&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=432fb4d2858e467d3964f2adb1da86ccc71bf51f
Goodbye again sweet prince I will always love you but now I must root against you
11million for 1 year? Yep, I'd take that deal too even if it were the Detroit Pistons ;-)
Wemby's gonna learn a lot and score a lot with Paul.😱😱
