Overview

  • Paul started all 82 games for the Spurs, averaging 8.8 points, 7.4 assists and 1.3 steals per game in the 2024-25 season.
  • His one-year, $10.5 million contract with San Antonio has expired, making him an unrestricted free agent.
  • San Antonio’s addition of De’Aaron Fox, Stephon Castle’s Rookie of the Year-caliber season and plans to draft Dylan Harper suggest a crowded guard rotation.
  • Dallas has explored several veteran point guard options and is now reportedly prioritizing Paul to strengthen its lineup.
  • If signed, Paul would bring veteran leadership and could mentor incoming No. 1 draft pick Cooper Flagg in Dallas’s developing core.
