Chris Paul’s Clippers tenure and NBA career came to an abrupt end last week as the Point God announced his retirement following his trade to the Toronto Raptors at the deadline. Paul seemingly couldn’t find a new team that checked all his boxes for the final few months of his career and called it quits.
What was more shocking than Paul’s early retirement, however, was his Clippers exit in early December. Just weeks after revealing that it was going to be his last season in the NBA, CP3 was sent home by the Clippers. Since then, everyone outside of the organization has been trying to figure out what went down between Paul and the Clippers’ top brass that led to his departure.
Paul addressed this in his appearance on Carmelo Anthony’s show, 7PM in Brooklyn, earlier in the week. While he was honest and transparent about what transpired with the Clippers, his exit still makes little sense.
