As the Clippers get ready for a hectic and exciting offseason, from the draft and the summer league, the free agency will be exciting. One thing Clippers fans will be looking forward to is the rumors about potential free agents coming and playing for the Clippers next season. With lots of rumors the Clippers are linked with lots of big-name stars, one, in particular, is a fan-favorite and future Clipper hall of famer Chris Paul. Chris Paul changed the franchise for the Clippers when he was traded in the 2011-2012 lockout season which ultimately changed the culture for the Clippers and gave the team the nickname “Lob City”
Chris Paul’s Legacy with the Clippers
Chris Paul going back to the Clippers to finish his career will be a storybook ending. Chris Paul played for more than 400 games with the Clippers from 2011 til 2017. Chris Paul averaged 18.8 PPG and 9.8 APG. Chris Paul also mentioned that being close to family is extremely important. The 40-year-old is going to be making his decision in the next couple of weeks as well as a potential reunion with the Clippers. Ever since the Clippers traded for Chris Paul in December of 2011, the Clippers became a playoff contender each year and one of the favorites to reach the NBA finals. Chris Paul helped change the Clippers franchise from being “a joke” to now “contender” and “player destination franchise.”
Clippers will be the “dark horse” team in the Chris Paul sweepstakes this upcoming free agency with the other being the Lakers.
Clippers fans are going to be very excited for the NBA draft and free agency to get started!!!
