Chris Paul is believed to be deciding between the Los Angeles Clippers, Phoenix Suns and Milwaukee Bucks in free agency. Paul is coming off a one-year, $11 million deal he signed with the San Antonio Spurs during the 2024 offseason. Paul played in all 82 games for the Spurs.

Paul previously played for both the Clippers and Suns, while he would have the opportunity to reunite with Doc Rivers if he were to sign with the Bucks. The future of Giannis Antetokounmpo with the Bucks could factor into Paul's decision to sign with a team further from the West Coast.

"Chris Paul has levels of interest from the Clippers, Suns and the Bucks," said Shams Charania on a Thursday afternoon Sports Center appearance. "I'm told he had a conversation with Bucks' officials on Wednesday. He told the Pat McAfee Show several weeks ago that his preference is to stay on the West Coast. He is sorting through options right now. Whether on the West Coast, or a team like Milwaukee."

Paul averaged 8.8 points, 3.6 rebounds and 7.4 assists last season.

I know he wants to be in the West, but I was hoping he would look at the Bucks. Exactly the kind of situation he needs; if he was 10 years younger, he would be exactly what they need... but he's still the best PG available and probably the best they could hope for.

Yeah if he wants a meaningful playing time with a starting role (assuming Giannis stays) Bucks is the best situation for him at the moment. I don't think they will start him on the Clippers and Suns are rebuilding.

My homie and I were talking about the exact same destinations the other day. I think he should of stayed in San Antonio though.

Spurs want to develop young players, so they don't really need CP anymore... I mean it was perfect for him, but that was before they got Fox.
