Haynes: Chris Paul to be released by the Clippers

[Mirotic12]

I wonder if this is CP3...but if this is Clippers management deciding this against CP3 it's one of the most ruthless moves ever...CP3 is the greatest Clipper ever.

I hope CP3 signs with OKC or something.

Blake Griffin waves hi!

Ron Harper

Clippers are probably trying to distract from the Aspiration controversy.

What a nightmare season for their FO.

[ropjhk]

Why does Lawrence Frank still have his job?

[therealkman]

Good for CP3. Maybe to the Spurs will pick him up and give him the proper fairwell tour he deserves on a playoff bound team.

[druggas]

Wasn't too long ago Jerry West called the Lakers, "A sh*t show". I wonder what he would say about the Clippers?

[Sofia]

cant even celebrate the Clippers demise because they're gifting OKC a lottery pick

I never understand this attitude from Laker fans. Your team has won all the titles and the little brother clippers haven't won anything. Why would you 'celebrate' them continuing to suck? It's not some heated rivalry, lol.

It's mostly Clippers fans being unapologetically arrogant (despite never winning anything) and the media that overhyped the Clippers to be better than the Lakers every year.

Not to mention the now infamous Clippers ad "streetlights over spotlights". Ballmer really tried to paint himself as a blue collar, hard working man.

Which ones?

[NyKnicks1714]

He's either going to retire or sign with the Lakers. His family lives in LA and that was a big part of why he chose the Clippers. I doubt he's going to go anywhere else unless OKC shows interest and he really wants a ring.

[BigGargamel]

I keep saying people mention OKC. They have like 5 or 6 guards on the roster better than him. If he didn't get any minutes for the Clippers, he will get even less for OKC. He wants to play, and he wouldn't there. He doesn't seem like the type of guy to get that Mitch Richmond ring. Why would the Thunder bother?

[canada_dry]

They didnt sign him to average 19 and 9 but they DID sign him to be a leader, and they literally knew exactly what kind of leader he was. What, you think Udonis Haslem was on the Heat's bench because he had a positive bpm? you think he was nice and cuddly with the rest of the team? no. he was there to keep players accountable because hes a vet. If CP3 hasnt earned a role like that on a team like this i dont know who is... again, ESPECIALLY having deep knowledge of who this guy was before ya signed him lol. ridiculous lack of accountability which is kinda the point CP3 was making

They didn't expect him to be as big a dick as he was in chis's prime because hes not that guy anymore is my point. When you're not good you're not worth the headache. When you're that good they'll tolerate it. Thats just how it goes.

The haslem comp is so off because he isnt that level of **** we know cp3 to be. Hes a true lockerroom guy that was able to stick in ONE lockerroom without burning it down. He was an extension of riley and spo in the lockerroom and he earned that. Can we say the same about cp3? Hes burnt down multiple lockerrooms. You say hes earned it too but clearly not eh? He doesn't know how to come off as any other way than dickish. Haslem maintains relationships organizationally and cp3 burns em. Haslem been with one team forever. Cp3 been on all 30 teams it feels like. Not comparable.

CP3 did a lot more good for the teams he has been on then bad. Of course he sucks at this point but treating him like this is a horrible look for one of

the worst franchises in the league. Especially since CP3 gave the Clippers the teeny bit of relevance they ever had.

Clippers already had the Donald Sterling fiasco and then the aspiration fiasco. They really don't need to be adding more drama. From top to bottom one of the least professional franchises in the league.

Its a bad look for both sides tbh. Chris isnt an angel here. The clippers are digging their own grave.

I say good riddance to both of em.

This is the last stone LeBron needs to complete the banana boat gauntlet….

[Blame Rasho]

The thing is just last year, Chris Paul for all his warts was nothing but great as a Spur even in a failure of a season.

This is more of a reflection on the Clippers rather than him.

Lue has to be held accountable to some degree here for refusing to meet with Paul, if the report is true.

That said, Frank has to go. Too much smoke from numerous players.

After that, Kawhi. If your supposed franchise player does whatever he wants but plays <35% of games, it's all gravy from there.

This. Like man up, be professional, and **** TALK. What a minnow.

I wonder which player(s) didn't directly say it to CP3's face but then Franks came a running middle of the night?

definitely not kathi the mute but maybe unc had to speak up for him

[MrBigShot]

No offense to any clippers fans, but the clippers are an absolute joke of an organization.

For some reason, I thought CP3 was just some dude on the train in that small thumbnail haha

[TroubleS0me]

Does OKC have space for him?
He needs a ring before its over.

[zimpy27]

The more I hear and read about this, the more it seems like the Clippers FO are both dumb and careless

[zimpy27]

Makes a lot of sense for Lakers to get CP3.

Lakers need a backup PG. Especially because I think they plan to trade Gabe and Kleber expirings for Wiggins at some point.

[threethehardway]

Makes a lot of sense for Lakers to get CP3.

Lakers need a backup PG.

CP3 is washed and should sit on the bench in Jared Dudley role for his next team.

If he's getting legit minutes, your team is in bad shape.

Everybody hates Chris.
