The San Antonio Spurs have made their first big move in free agency. In an effort to continue to grow around superstar big man Victor Wembanyama, the franchise needed a veteran floor general who can run the pick-and-roll and make things easier for Wemby and everybody else on the floor.
That guy has proven to be Chris Paul. The Spurs have agreed to a deal to bring Paul to San Antonio and will look to him to help the franchise take another leap in the Western Conference standings.
In a down year with the Golden State Warriors, Paul averaged 9.2 points, 6.8 assists, and 3.9 rebounds while shooting 37.1% from deep. He should do wonders for the Spurs to help them take the next step in their rebuild.

Paul is a 12-time All-Star and is one of the elite floor generals the NBA has ever seen. He has obviously lost a step, but he can still be a starting point guard in the NBA.
