He isn't going anywhere unless it is per the Clippers.

Zach Lowe and Brian Windhorst were talking about aging max FAs like CP3 and Lowry and how their current team's willingness to give that 5th year could be key to them staying or leaving. Horford got multiple 4/$120 offers from other teams and told Atlanta if they gave him the 5 year max he'd stay. They'd only give him a partially guaranteed 5th year so he left.

I think Doc will give CP3 the 5th year because caring about the future is not something Doc the GM does. But if he doesn't where does Paul go? Windhorst and Lowe were also pointing out how the Spurs only have 1 2 way big in Aldridge and Pop doesn't like to play small ball. That doesn't sound like a team that's a CP3 away from a ring.
