But first, Paul wants one more bite at the apple, one more chance at the Larry O'Brien Trophy that has eluded him for his entire illustrious career. That, or he really just wants one more crack at high-level basketball competition. Either or.

Point guard Chris Paul is one of the most intriguing NBA free agents this cycle. While he's now 40 years old, he's a future Hall of Famer that played all 82 games last season for the San Antonio Spurs and can clearly still contribute for a contender.

Though Paul isn't the All-Star-caliber player he once was, he's continued to contribute over the past few seasons. Last year with the San Antonio Spurs, he started all 82 games and put up 8.8 points, 7.4 assists and 1.3 steals per game.
