The Clippers and Paul parted ways on rather abrupt terms this season.
reportedly decided Paul wasn’t worth the trouble and aggravationEven though Paul didn’t get his fairytale ending with the Clippers, the organization apparently isn’t leaving him out in the cold. A new report from Jake Fischer of“I've also been told — in strong terms — that the Clippers do want to work in tandem with Paul and his CAA representation to find him a new home.
The 40-year-old indicated last week that he is more likely than not to keep playing even if it means leaving Los Angeles and league sources insist that the Clippers, in a nod to Paul's status as a franchise legend, do want to help him relocate. “That's the case, sources say, no matter how much the abrupt circumstances of Paul's late-night banishment from the team in an Atlanta meeting with president of basketball operations Lawrence Frank might suggest otherwise.”It's a nice gesture from the Clippers organization—though one could also argue it's the least they could do, considering the circumstances of the 12-time All-Star's chilly exile. Paul, 40, understandably wanted to end his 21-year NBA career in Los Angeles to stay close to his family. Now that he's been ushered out the door by the Clippers, he’s set to potentially close out his final season on a new team and leave the recent drama behind him. The Bucks, Knicks, Mavericks and Suns were interested in Paul before he signed with the Clippers in free agency, per Fischer’s sources, and Paul may shift his priorities to more basketball-related aspects like playing time and role on the court.Kristen Wong is a staff writer on the Breaking and Trending News team at Sports Illustrated.
