BREAKING: Los Angeles Clippers are sending home future Hall of Fame point guard Chris Paul in a bizarre severing ties move, league sources tell me. pic.twitter.com/EgDLXaxdZW— Chris Haynes (@ChrisBHaynes) December 3, 2025
Blake Griffin wanted to retire a Clipper. Seven months after signing a five-year, $171 million deal to stay in L.A., the Clippers traded him to Detroit.
Chris Paul wanted to retire a Clipper. Five months after coming home, the Clippers released him in the middle of the night. pic.twitter.com/PciyObKLnP
The Clippers simply have no style or class. It was true under Sterling and it seems true under Ballmer. The only smart move he’s made was not bulldozing The Forum, which he’s basically copying lol.
Chris Paul and his leadership style clashed with the Clippers, sources tell ESPN. Paul has been vocal in holding management, coaches and players accountable, which the team felt became disruptive. Specifically: Ty Lue was not on speaking terms with Paul for several weeks.
I’m sure CP3 and his Hall of Fame career and expectations are a handful, especially when you can’t win with him on (or off) the court.
But a coaches job is to find common ground and keep the entire team together. That being said, this season has taken a lot of luster off a lot of guys in Clipper Land. Ballmer is likely to clean house this summer, if not sooner.

Wow. The Clippers might blow this thing up…would love to see the return of Zublacca!
