Wednesday, an article was published by the L.A. Times regarding who free agent Chris Paul could possibly speak with during free agency. It’s already been reported previously that the Los Angeles Clippers want to retain Paul and that the San Antonio Spurs are one suitor for him. In the Times article, it was revealed the Houston Rockets and Denver Nuggets might also join the Paul race (H/T Real GM).
Using video, let’s look at some roster moves each of these four teams would have to possibly make in the event Paul chose to sign with them for a maximum contract. All financial data used in each video is from BasketballInsiders.com.
