Chris Paul Criticizes Clippers Over Disrespectful Mid-Season Departure
The veteran point guard spoke out against how Los Angeles handled his exit after sending him home and trading him last season.
Chris Paul has voiced his frustration with the Los Angeles Clippers over how the organization managed his departure last season.
Paul had returned to the franchise aiming to conclude his career in Los Angeles. Instead, the team sent the veteran guard home midway through the campaign before ultimately trading him, according to reporting from BasketNews.
The front office's handling of the situation sparked widespread backlash across the NBA, drawing criticism from both fans and fellow players who viewed the treatment of a franchise icon as completely unwarranted. Paul strongly agreed with that assessment, characterizing the exit as one of the most disrespectful episodes he has faced.
