NBA Rumors: The Team Where Chris Paul Could End Up

Chris Paul had a good season at 40, playing a leadership role and putting up good numbers in playmaking and shooting while starting all 82 games for the San Antonio Spurs. However, the team hit the market and secured their future starting point guard, acquiring De'Aaron Fox from the Sacramento Kings at the last minute. Not to mention the presence of rookie of the year, shooting guard Stephon Castle, also in the backcourt.

This leaves CP3 likely seeking a new team this summer, which would be the fourth in four years. But according to Bleacher Report's Eric Pincus, Paul won't have to go far this time, as he is expected to sign with the Dallas Mavericks in free agency.

Prediction: the Dallas Mavericks, in need of a backup point guard until Kyrie Irving returns, will use the TMLE (taxpayer mid-level exception) on Paul.

Irving is expected to be out at least until midseason due to a torn ACL he suffered last March. The injury occurred just a month after the shocking trade of Luka Doncic, derailing the Mavs' season.

The Dallas Mavericks Option

But Dallas aims to return to playoff contention next season, with a healthy Anthony Davis in the frontcourt and Kyrie's eventual comeback. CP3 would be a great option to hold the fort until Irving is back.

He averaged 28 minutes per game with the Spurs last season, with 8.8 points, 7.4 assists, 1.3 steals, and 37.7% from three-point range. The future Hall of Famer remained in shape in his twentieth season.

We'll see if Dallas secures his twenty-first season.
