Although the Los Angeles Clippers have recovered from a 6-21 record, they are still short of being a contender in the Western Conference. If that wasn\u2019t enough, they have received immense backlash for their falling out with franchise legend Chris Paul. Because of this, Byron Scott is one of the many who simply can\u2019t view the Clippers in a positive light.<\/p>\n
The Clippers<\/a> and Chris Paul<\/a> came to terms for this season to be his final year as an NBA player. It seemed fitting, considering Paul is arguably the greatest player who has ever put on a Clippers jersey. Unfortunately, his farewell tour ended in an ugly breakup.<\/p>\n Following the team\u2019s abysmal start to the season, they decided to send Paul home. His leadership skills didn\u2019t mesh well with Clippers head coach Ty Lue, resulting in his eventual trade to the Toronto Raptors, who waived him shortly after, leading to Paul\u2019s true retirement.<\/p>\n LA\u2019s actions came across as very insensitive and disrespectful, sparking outrage across the league. Despite Paul\u2019s reputation as an annoyance on the court, many came to the future Hall-of-Fame guard\u2019s defense. Byron Scott<\/a> is the most recent figure to advocate on his behalf.<\/p>\n \u201cWhat they did to that young man was unjustified,\u201d Scott proclaimed on\u00a0Power 106 FM. \u201cIt wasn\u2019t shocking to me, they did the same to Blake Griffin. There\u2019s winners and there\u2019s losers. The Clippers are losers, they won\u2019t win a championship in my lifetime.\u201d<\/p>\n Bryon Scott BASHES the Clippers for what they did to Chris Paul<\/p>\n \u201cWhat they did to that young man was unjustified, ridiculous\u2026. I talked to Clipper Darrell and said \u2018The reason you are the Clippers is because of the way you treated Chris Paul.\u2019 The Lakers how we treat our\u2026 https:\/\/t.co\/hfQQRhWgHa<\/a> pic.twitter.com\/pkxinQdLH7<\/a><\/p>\n
