Wen Pang: The Clippers signed Paul with bargain prices, and the latter may not have a fixed playing time

Today, the Clippers officially announced that the team has officially signed free agent veteran Chris Paul.

famous reporter Windhorst talked about this on the show. Windhorst said: "For the Clippers, this is a very cost-effective signing. They signed a player who will definitely be selected for the Hall of Fame in the future with a 'bad price' contract. Because for Chris Paul, the priority is to stay in Los Angeles to accompany his family, rather than playing time or role positioning."

"Paul could have gone to the Bucks, and he could give him more guaranteed playing time. But the situation on the Clippers is different. As far as I know, he will not have a fixed playing time in the Clippers. Some nights, it may be that James Harden and substitute guard Chris Dunn play all the point guard positions, and Paul may not be able to play the whole game. Playing. This is unprecedented in Paul's career, but he has accepted this reality himself. "

" He understands that he is in a brand new role now, but he wants to play on a competitive team, and he is in Los Angeles, close to his family.

In addition, there must be a certain consensus between him and James Harden. When they were in Houston a few years ago, the relationship was not particularly harmonious. But this time, the Clippers had already sought Harden's opinion before making a decision. Harden supported the signing. He understood that he was the fifth most playing time in the league last season, and he welcomed any move that could reduce his burden and protect him."
