Maybe you need to read the room? My guess is that everyone in the room knew exactly what CP was saying and that they were all in silent agreement, but in shock that he actually said it. Would have loved to have been in that room

You forgetting his current position. He's on a minimum contract. His job is to only add value, not cause any issues


So he should just shut up and dribble? Players and paople have the right to speak up, even in an employment environment. CP got released from probably the most toxic team situation in the league and he clearly said his piece on the way out. Nothing unjustified about calling out Kawhi and the Clips in general


The Clippers don't owe Chris Paul anything is how I view it. He only signed with the Clippers because they're the hometown team. The guy has been an overrated journeyman for years.

Think beyond hierarchy and maybe you'll see another perspective

6 seasons and 16 games with the Clips. They don't owe Chris anything.

Shams' Inside Pass: Trade buzz on Anthony Davis, Giannis, more



Anthony Davis of the Dallas Mavericks, another former NBA champion, is expected to be a critical trade target of several teams, including many of the East's contenders. The Detroit Pistons, Atlanta Hawks and Toronto Raptors are expected to be suitors for Davis, league sources told ESPN.

The Mavericks are open to exploring the trade markets for Davis, center Daniel Gafford and guards Klay Thompson and D'Angelo Russell, sources said. Davis' agent, Klutch Sports CEO Rich Paul, has met with Mavericks interim co-general managers Michael Finley and Matt Riccardi, and requested clarity about whether the franchise wants to extend Davis in the offseason or trade him ahead of the deadline. Finley and Riccardi accepted the message and stated the franchise wants to keep its options open and view how the team plays for the next few weeks. They have not ruled out the possibility of an extension.

The Pistons (19-5), Raptors (15-10) and Hawks (14-11) represent high-level threats in their conference and are having seasons that give hope that a player like Davis -- a 10-time All-Star who has spent his entire career in the Western Conference -- can elevate them into a viable championship-quality team.

Davis, who turns 33 in March, will become eligible Aug. 6 to sign up to a four-year, $275 million max extension. The extension would pay him $76 million in his age-37 season. Without an extension, he can be a free agent in 2027 if he declines his $62.8 million player option that offseason.
