The San Antonio Spurs surprisingly secured an 82-game season from 39-year-old Chris Paul before letting him walk in free agency, which has quickly turned into a genius move by the franchise. Fans laughed as CP3 returned to the Clippers, but things are so much worse than they thought. Paul was so bad to begin this season that he has been a DNP-CD in the last two games.
The future Hall of Famer made a gigantic impact in San Antonio. The Spurs benefitted from his leadership, playmaking ability, and know-how. Paul was not the superstar fans remember, but starting all 82 games at his age was impressive.
