229 million in 4 years! Thanks to Paul and Vinban Yama for their help, it is not surprising that he will be the All-Star in this new season

This summer, Paul chose to join the Clippers with 3.6 million yuan in one year.

What can Paul bring to the Clippers?

Explanation point 1: concatenation. Paul scored 605 assists in 24-25. The total assists are second only to Trae Young, Jokic, Harden, Halliburton and Cunningham.

Explanation point 2: Attendance rate. Paul made 82 appearances in this season, which is also the second time in his career after 14-15 season that he has reached 100%.

To sum up two points, considering that Paul is willing to accept the position of a substitute, it is obvious that the Clippers' substitute offensive firepower will be very strong in the new season - Paul, 39, will inevitably decline in form, but it is difficult to see the cliff-style in reference to the 24-25 season.

In fact, Paul can also play as a starting player in some games, thus sharing Harden's tandem pressure.

Now, Paul returns to the Clippers, and the two sides are complementary - the former returns to their roots, which increases the probability of retiring the jersey; the latter greatly strengthens the substitute lineup.

Speaking of this, Paul returns to the Clippers, and in my opinion, Daron Fox is also a beneficiary.

First, according to the NBA China official website, Fox has reached a four-year, 229 million contract renewal with the Spurs.

It should be noted that without the trade, Durant letting Paul go, the Spurs renewed the contract with Fox at such a high price. But this doesn't matter, what's important is that the latter has obtained a big contract.

Secondly, I think Fox is the possibility of returning to the All-Star in the new season - in the 22-23 season, he was selected as the All-Star for the first time in his career with his outstanding performance of 25.0 points, 4.2 rebounds and 6.1 assists per game.

Reason 1: Location. In the 24-25 season, due to Paul's existence, Fox could only swing upwards to play the second position that he was not good at - playing time accounted for as much as 96%. But because of Paul's return to the Clippers, Fox will return to the No. 1 position.

Reason 2: Ball rights. Although the Spurs have the best rookie Castle and the second-place pick Harper in the new team, it is certain that Fox is definitely the one who controls the team. The answer is very simple. Just signed a big contract, and the management cannot slap themselves in the face. To take a step back, he can also play the role of a stadium commander with an average of 6.1 assists per game in his career.

Reason 3: Wenban Yama. The No. 1 pick in the new season will enter the third grade, and according to the progress rate of the past two seasons, he will basically enter the ranks of quasi-super giants. In this way, the opponent will be the focus of attention on the offensive end. From another perspective, Fox faces relatively less defensive pressure. Potentially, it helps to achieve impressive performance and data.

Relatively speaking, I think the first point is the main reason.

First of all, even if you are strong like Jokic and Doncic, it is difficult to maximize your combat power if you are not placed in a suitable position. Secondly, as far as Fox is concerned, the most suitable position for its performance without the body type and speed advantage is the No. 1 position.

As for the second and third points, they play a good role in promoting them. To put it bluntly, the ball rights are the foundation for converting high-level data, and strong teammates will make the game relatively easier.

Finally, if Fox is selected as the All-Star again in the new season, to be honest, I don’t feel surprised at all, after all, the time (position), the location (ball rights) and (Wenban Yama) already have it.
