On Tuesday, NBA insider Jake Fischer wrote that there might not be a player "with a greater likelihood of getting moved next Monday than Clippers guard Chris Paul." Monday is Dec. 15, the unofficial start of trade season. Since Paul signed with the Los Angeles Clippers during the offseason, he and other players in a similar situation will become trade-eligible then.
As Fischer laid out, the Clippers' best route to getting rid of Paul (after they sent him home last week) is a trade. He reported that LA does "want to work" with Paul (subscription required) on a trade, helping him find a new home, no matter how abruptly things ended.
