[Saba Sports News] Chris Paul’s move to San Antonio marks a significant shift in his career in more ways than one.
According to ESPN’s Bobby Marks, Paul’s new contract with the Spurs includes an unusual clause: an incentive that pays him an extra $262,000 if the Spurs win 32 games or more this season.
Additionally, Paul has seven other sets of bonuses in his contract. You can read the full report for details.
Aiming for 32 wins (nine games under .500) is a modest goal for the 12-time All-Star, who has almost always been in championship contention throughout his 19-year NBA career. However, it represents a significant improvement for the rebuilding Spurs, who have finished 22-60 for the past two seasons.
At 39 and still seeking his first NBA title, Paul recently explained why he chose San Antonio. The 32-win incentive highlights his changing priorities.
