San Antonio Spurs, Gregg Popovich to Meet with Chris Paul

Spurs Eyeing Playoff Push, Paul Seeking New Contract

The San Antonio Spurs are reportedly set to meet with veteran point guard Chris Paul in the coming days, according to ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski. The Spurs are in the midst of a playoff push, while Paul is seeking a new contract after opting out of his player option with the Phoenix Suns.

Spurs Hope to Bolster Backcourt

The Spurs have been looking to add a veteran point guard to their roster, and Paul would fit the bill. The 37-year-old is a 12-time All-Star and has averaged 14.7 points and 10.8 assists per game this season. He would provide the Spurs with a much-needed boost in the backcourt, alongside Dejounte Murray.

Paul Seeking Long-Term Deal

Paul is reportedly seeking a three-year, $100 million contract, according to Wojnarowski. The Spurs may be hesitant to commit that much money to a player of Paul's age, but they may be willing to make an exception if they believe he can help them contend for a championship.

Suns Unlikely to Re-Sign Paul

The Suns are unlikely to re-sign Paul, as they are looking to build around their young stars, Devin Booker and Deandre Ayton. Paul's departure would leave a void in Phoenix's backcourt, but they may be able to fill it with a younger, cheaper option.

Intriguing Possibility for Both Sides

A deal between the Spurs and Paul would be a win-win for both sides. The Spurs would get a veteran leader who can help them make a playoff run, while Paul would get a chance to compete for a championship on a contending team.
