Sportingnews.com writer Danny Leroux recently released an article discussing whether it is in the best interest of the Los Angeles Clippers to consider trading All-Star Point Guard Chris Paul.
Chris Paul is a free agent in 2017 and the goal of the trade would be the same as the goal of trading any pending free agent; to get something in exchange for them before they leave for nothing.
I won’t debate the merit of Leroux’s article, that’s his job. Weather the Clippers will legitimately attempt to move Paul by next season is something I can’t possibly know, what I can know is whether the Pelicans would be in the conversation if they did.
