Be a coach or play! Paul is hesitant, Parsons suggests joining the Rockets, you have a chance to compete for the championship

Basketball

Paul joined the Spurs in the offseason last year and thought he would lead the team into the playoffs. But in the end, Wenban Yama's thrombosis was reimbursed, and Paul really couldn't help the Spurs at age. After all, Paul is 40 years old, but he can still contribute 8.8 points, 3.6 rebounds, 7.6 assists and 1.3 steals per game, with a shooting percentage of 43%, three-pointers and 38%, which is worthy of the annual salary of tens of millions. Paul had previously interviewed with Marc J. Spears, and he talked about his hesitation in the future.

Paul said that he certainly doesn't want to retire at the age of 40, and he wants to play for a few more years. He feels that his health is pretty good. After all, Paul played 76 games this season, almost attending all the time. The team had a few rests arranged by the team, and Popovich also suffered a stroke. If Popovich did not suffer a stroke and Vampan Yama did not have a thrombosis problem, the Spurs still have a chance to compete in the playoffs. And this year the Spurs draw the second draw, so Paul has no meaning to return to the Spurs.

The Spurs want to give young people more opportunities, and there is really not much time left for Paul. Paul also revealed in the interview that family is the first priority now. If there is no way, he will make difficult decisions to accompany his family, and the children also need him to provide more time to spend together. Of course, if Paul retires, part of it will definitely be a family, and part of it is Paul who doesn’t know where to go and has a chance to compete for the championship. For this reason, the Rockets’ former player Parsons suggested that Paul join the Rockets or the Mavericks.

Parsons said: "Paul has a high IQ. I think he will become a head coach one day like Kidd and Nash. But I think it's too early now. Paul is only 40 years old and he still has a lot of oil in his tank. I think there will be many teams who want him, and they need an old point guard who can provide defense and organization. But Paul doesn't know where he goes. I think he can consider the Rockets and Mavericks, both of them need Paul. If he has the opportunity to play in a championship team, I don't think Paul will retire as a coach immediately." In 2018, the light bulb combination played to the Western Conference Finals, and he was one game away from advancing 3-2 in the finals. Unfortunately, Paul was strained and the Rockets were eliminated by the Warriors in two consecutive games. In 2019, the Rockets met the Warriors again in the semi-finals, but unfortunately they were eliminated 4-2. After that, the Rockets began to disintegrate, and they did not retain the original team to continue to compete for the championship. Because Cosmic Warrior had disintegrated at that time, the Rockets, who remained the original team, would be the first echelon of the championship in the new season.

Perhaps as Parsons said, returning to the Rockets is a good choice and it is also a way to make up for the regrets of 18 years. The Rockets will definitely have big moves this offseason, if the team really gets Durant from the Suns. Then Paul joins the Rockets to get a new chance to compete for the championship. Van Jordan point guard, Dillon segment guard, Amen in the small front, Durant in the big front and Shin Kyung in the center. Paul is not physically fit enough at the age of 40 and is also valuable to be the sixth person with a substitute.

Rockets substitutes can be put on, Paul point guard, White Devils's segment guard, Ethan Jr. If Smith and Adams do not leave the team, the Rockets' substitute inside Smith and Adams are quite luxurious. If Smith and Adams leave the team, the Rockets also have Langdale as the inside. The Rockets have reached the opportunity to compete for the championship in overall combat power. This year's playoff Rockets were blacked out by the Warriors because Curry and Butler's combat power is not as seventh in the West. In fact, the Warriors who have Curry have the ability to defeat the Timberwolves, but the first round battle with the Rockets was too expensive, which led to the Timberwolves getting a bargain.
