The Los Angeles Clippers sent shock waves through the NBA world when they waived franchise legend Chris Paul in the wee hours of the morning. Paul returned to LA this summer for his farewell season. He previously spent six years with the Clippers in the 2010s and, by all accounts, is the franchise's best player of all-time.
Despite having high aspirations (pun intended) for this season, the Clippers are off to an abysmal 5-16 start. According to Shams Charania, the Clippers felt like CP3 trying to hold the team accountable became disruptive. Chris Haynes added that Paul tried to have a meeting with Tyronn Lue about the allegations of being a negative presence on the team, but he refused.
