They don’t have room in their salary cap, they have many big decisions to face this summer, however the Spurs are presented to be targetting Chris Paul.

According to ESPN: “Sources say the Los Angeles Clippers regard the threat of San Antonio signing away Paul as a legitimate concern, even though the Spurs, at present, have virtually no salary-cap flexibility“.

Moneywise there’s no comparison between the contracts that the two teams can offer: “The Clippers will enter free agency knowing they can outbid any suitor for Paul. At 32, Paul is eligible for a five-year deal worth an estimated $205 million…The most the Spurs can offer, by contrast, is a four-year pact worth just over $152 million, but it appears San Antonio would have to make a number of roster ‎moves to create the needed cap space to offer a max deal to Paul“.

It seems that the only reason for Paul to pick the Spurs is the idea that he would have more success with them compared to what he has achieved with the Clippers, even if San Antonio is rebuilding.
