However, recent comments from Paul indicate the decision may not be so straightforward. In an interview with Andscape, he said:
“No. I’m just saying all this stuff is part of my decision-making in my thought process.”
John Collins noted that Chris Paul constantly motivates him, whether or not Paul feels positive in the moment. His leadership guides teammates in the right direction.

The rookies have been the most eager to learn from Paul during preseason, including Kobe Brown and Jordan Miller. Paul shared his approach with them:
“It’s always about communicating… We’ve got a great group of young guys who work really hard. Sometimes the only way you can learn is by playing.”
He also provides advice on improving their game after matches.
Chris Paul remains a vital mentor and leader, with his future season plans still uncertain as he balances experience and supporting young talent.
