The No. 1 pick and Paul Mavericks are both here, the Western Conference is about to come out, the Thunder Rockets opponent is here

The 2025 NBA Draft was held on June 26, and the Mavericks with the No. 1 pick are undoubtedly the focus. There is no doubt that Fogra is their first choice. Although this year is the year of the draft, Flag is still one level higher than other rookies, so the No. 1 pick Flag is probably a foregone conclusion.

And according to the latest news, in addition to winning the No. 1 pick in the draft, the Mavericks will have big moves in the future. It is reported that they are helping Irving find a substitute guard, and Irving's injury makes it difficult for him to play in the early stage of the season, so a substitute guard needs to top up to revitalize the entire team's offense. After Irving returns, he can return to the bench to undertake the organizational tasks of the connection section.

Their target is Paul, who played for the Spurs last season, and plans to sign Chris Paul with a middle-class contract. The Spurs' back line now has the best rookie Castle and a potential second place. It is somewhat crowded to have Paul. In addition, Paul's contract expires, and the Mavericks' lineup is capable of competing for the championship, so it is entirely possible for the Mavericks to sign Paul.

Paul played 82 regular season games with the Spurs this season, and averaged 28 minutes of playing time and was able to contribute 8.8 points per game, and also had 3.6 rebounds, 7.4 assists and 1.3 steals. His three shooting percentages were 42.7%, 37.7% and 92.4%, and his free throw shooting percentage hit a career high. 7.4 assists were also ranked 7th in the league's assist list. He could still play 82 regular season games in his 20th season. I have to say that Lao Pao's email is still in his mailbox.

If Paul can join the Mavericks, he will join forces with three No. 1 picks: Irving, Davis and Foggra. Considering that Irving suffered a major injury at the end of the season, Paul will serve as the team's starting point guard for a long time, which is exactly what Paul is best at. What's more important is his mentor-level coaching role. The SGA, who won the Grand Slam this season, was also a disciple of Paul at the time. Paul brought the young Thunder into the playoffs in the 2019-20 season, and now he has gained a lot of money.

Last season's Wenban - Yama and Spurs' best rookie Castle, the Spurs have gone from 22 wins last season to 34 wins this season. When Paul is on the court, the Spurs have lost 0.8 points in a net loss of 100 rounds, and when Paul is not on the court, the Spurs have lost 5.8 points in a net loss of 100 rounds, and when Wenban, Paul, Barnes, Castle, Champany or Wassel are on the court at the same time, the Spurs can win 12.6 points/11.5 points in a 100 round. This is Paul's field control and organizational role. Although the elderly Paul is no longer the starter of the championship team, he is still more than enough as a substitute point guard. Most importantly, the Mavericks do need such a point guard. Irving's serious injury made the team lack a player who can organize and connect. Secondly, they also have double centers who are very good at eating cakes. Don't forget, they also have Thick Eyebrow and the upcoming Foggra. Paul's arrival will undoubtedly bring more help to the Mavericks.

When Irving returns next year, Paul retreats to the second line, and the Mavericks will form the four giants of Irving + Dark Eyebrow + Soup God + Fogla. Paul, PJ Washington, Garford, Lefly, Christie, Dinwiddie, Marshall, Jones and other strong players on the bench. Such a lineup can be said to be both offensive and defensive, without any flaws. The strongest competitors in the Western Conference of the Thunder and the Rockets are coming.
