The San Antonio Spurs set up a legendary interview between Tony Parker and Chris Paul, as during this sit-down, the two point guards talked about a list of topics. One topic was how long the Spurs guard has left in the league.

Overall, Paul said he only has a season or two left in his storied career. He is 39 years old and in his 20th season. Come May 6th, Paul will turn 40 years old.

“Maybe a year or two. I’m still trying to feel it out,” Paul said. “I think the hardest part is—like I love this, like practice today, I love hooping, I love all of that. The hardest part is when I get home and I have to watch my kids’ games on the iPad or whatnot, so that’s the tug of war right now.”

Later in the interview, Paul reflected on his time with the Warriors and the struggles of it all.

“Last year (with the Golden State Warriors) was probably one of the toughest years for me. I just love to hoop. I wanna play. If I’m gonna sacrifice my family and be away from them, then I at least need to be playing,” Paul said.

Since signing with San Antonio, the veteran point guard has started all 24 games averaging 10.2 points and 8.5 assists.

Chris Paul Signs One-Year Deal With Spurs

According to CourtSideHeat and other reports, Chris Paul has signed a one-year deal with the San Antonio Spurs. The future Hall of Famer will play alongside Rookie of the Year Victor Wembanyama.

The 39-year-old is set to make $11 million as he fills a desperate hole for the Spurs – and that is a point guard. Per our sources, San Antonio found him as a “perfect fit” and thought him playing with Wemby would not only help the team, but also Wembanyama himself.

Paul averaged 9.2 points, 3.9 rebounds, and 6.8 assists in 26.4 minutes. He was set to be traded to the Los Angeles Clippers for Paul George; however, the Clippers had no interest and decided to “block” Golden State from receiving George.

Chris Paul Not Retiring In The Offseason

There are so many questions around the Golden State Warriors franchise and their current roster, but we do have clarity on Chris Paul’s future in the league.

Despite the heartbreak they went through Tuesday night against the Sacramento Kings, Paul said he has no intentions of leaving the league on a sour note.

“I’ll talk to my wife and my kids, my family, my support system, see what it looks like,” Paul told The Athletic. “But this isn’t (the end of my career). I know it for sure.”

With the 38-year-old veteran returning to the NBA, his contract with Golden State is up. While there are no guarantees of his returning to The Bay, there is a belief that Steve Kerr and the front office want him back.

For Paul, he hasn’t thought about it much. He continues to focus on the day-to-day grind.

“I haven’t thought about it,” Paul said. “I’m too in it. I was in the gym at 8 a.m. this morning, lifting and getting ready for this game. When it’s time for that, Mike (Dunleavy) and Steve (Kerr), we’ll have a conversation and see what it looks like. But I loved it. It’s honestly — this is my fifth year living without my family — I probably saw them more than any other year.”
