All attendances this season 82 games! The Mavericks intend to sign Paul to fill the time when Irving is absent

According to reporter Brett Siegel, the Mavericks intend to sign 40-year-old defender Paul.

Because Irving will be out for a long time due to an ACL injury on the left knee, the Mavericks need to introduce a point guard.

Another reporter Eric Pincus predicted that the Mavericks would use the taxpayer's middle-class special case to sign Paul.

Paul played 82 games for the Spurs this season, averaging 8.8 points, 3.6 rebounds and 7.4 assists per game.
