On June 10, 2023, Beijing time, when the finals were in full swing, there was news from the Suns that they wanted to cut Paul, and as soon as the news came out, many teams began to plan to get Paul. For Paul, even if he leaves the Suns, at the end of his career, he wants to join a team that has a chance to compete for a championship.
And Haynes talked about Paul on his show, saying that he is a prominent Clippers player who wants to see Paul join the Clippers. Later, Forbes reporter Shane Young also updated the social media and said: "Considering that Leonard and Paul have been friends for a while, I would not be shocked if that outstanding player was him. ”
For Paul, it is also a good choice to return to the Clippers, knowing that Paul has left an outstanding career with the Clippers before, although he did not win a championship, but it is also the totem of the team in the past few years in the empty city, and his return should also be what the team and fans want to see, after all, getting Paul now does not have to pay too much. And really Leonard welcomes Paul to join, then the core lineup of the team will not have much problem, the combination of George + Leonard + Paul is still an important championship team in the West as long as it remains healthy.
So for Paul, in addition to the Lakers, Celtics and other teams, the Clippers are also one of the teams he can consider, and if he can achieve the championship in the Clippers, it should be a very perfect ending for Paul personally.
