Earlier this week, the Los Angeles Clippers sent shockwaves throughout the NBA world by releasing their newly acquired point guard, Chris Paul, during what seemed to be a farewell tour for the 21-year veteran.
This came as a surprise to the NBA community, as Paul had just been signed by the Clippers a few months earlier. Reports quickly followed, stating that Paul and ownership "weren't a good fit." In a recent interview on the Run it Back Podcast, former teammate Lou Williams said that Paul's departure wasn't due to poor play; it was because of the growing tension between Paul and head coach Tyronn Lue.
