Is a 36-year old Chris Paul the answer to the New York Knicks point guard woes?
The Knicks’ weakest link had been exposed in the playoffs as Tom Thibodeau scrambled for options at the point guard spot. Thibodeau was forced to rely heavily on Derrick Rose, who admirably played well until the former MVP ran out of gas in Game 5.
Enter Paul, who is reportedly planning to decline the lucrative player option that could make him the third-highest paid NBA player next season.
Eric Pincus, Bleacher Report’s salary cap guru, reported on Thursday that Paul would seek a multi-year deal that will pay him up to his late 30’s.
