Played 82 games! At the age of 40, I want to be the starter~Shams: Paul communicated with the Bucks officials yesterday

ESPN famous reporter Shams Charania revealed in SportsCenter that 40-year-old veteran Chris Paul had an exchange with Bucks officials yesterday, and the Clippers and the Suns were also interested in him.

"He is considering options now, though," Shams said. "Whether it's on the West Coast or on a team like Milwaukee. Where he will go in the future, you'll know when."

According to Shams's previous report, the Bucks will use extended clauses to sign Miles Turner ($107 million in four years).

Pau had previously expressed his hope to play near home (home in Los Angeles).

Associated Press reporter Tim Reynolds reported on July 3 that Paul hopes to continue as the starter, which may be one of the reasons why he has not made a decision yet; the Clippers still very much hope that Paul can choose them.

In the 2024-25 season, Paul played 82 regular season games, averaged 8.8 points, 3.6 rebounds, 7.4 assists and 1.3 steals per game.
