# Chris Paul to NBA San Antonio… ‘Newcomer’ Wembanyama and the Same Pot It is expected that veteran NBA point guard Chris Paul will join the San Antonio Spurs and work with 'newcomer' Victor Wembanyama. Citing sources, sports media outlet ESPN reported on the 1st (Korean time) that Paul agreed to a one-year contract with San Antonio for an annual salary of $11 million (approximately 15.2 billion won). Paul, who played for the Golden State Warriors in the 2023-2024 season, was released by the team the day before and became eligible for free agency. **[토토사이트 모음](https://bsc.news/post/safe-totosite-ranking-top-15-major-safe-playground-2024)** Paul's choice was San Antonio, where Wembanyama is holding on. Local basketball commentator Chris Haynes announced Paul's move to San Antonio through social media, saying, "Paul had a satisfactory conversation with coach Gregg Popperbich. He was attracted to the idea that he could help elevate Wembanyama's game," the commentator said. Paul still wants to prove that he is a high-level guard in the league, he added. Born in 1985, the upcoming 2024-2025 season will be Paul's 20th season in the NBA. Paul made his debut in the 2005-2006 season with the New Orleans Hornets (now the Pelicans) and later played for the Los Angeles Clippers, Houston Rockets, Oklahoma City Thunder, and Golden State. He was selected to the All-Star team 12 times, was selected as the [All-Star MVP](https://wakelet.com/wake/uAHiIrLrEf_dgYqT8TT5s) in 2013, and was named to the 2006 Rookie of the Year Best Five four times. He was selected for the world's best U.S. national team and won gold medals at the 2008 Beijing and 2012 London Olympics, making a name for himself as a top-class guard in the league. In the 2023-2024 season, he played in 58 regular league games wearing the Golden State uniform, averaging 9.2 points, 6.8 assists, and 3.9 rebounds. His professional career regular league record per game is 17.5 points, 9.4 assists, and 4.5 rebounds. San Antonio, where Paul is joining, is rebuilding the team centered around Wembanyama, who unanimously won the 2023-2024 Rookie of the Year award. Paul's addition is welcome, as the team struggled last season due to a lack of ball handlers to take charge of developing the offense. San Antonio finished 14th in the Western Conference with 22 wins and 60 losses. Wembanyama, who joined San Antonio as the first overall pick in last year's rookie draft, was once called the 'talent of the century'. Despite being over 220 cm tall, he showed movements similar to guards and forwards, such as producing stable shots while dribbling. [Victor Wembanyama](https://casinositewiki.edublogs.org/2024/10/13/kim-seung-dae-multi-goal-daejeon-wins-3-1-over-seoul/) played in 71 games in his debut season, averaging about 30 minutes per game, recording 21.4 points, 10.6 rebounds, 3.9 assists, and 3.6 blocks.
