BREAKING: Chris Paul Kicked Off LA Clippers
Chris Paul’s shocking exit sends ripples through Los Angeles Clippers Nation—was it basketball reasons or behind-the-scenes drama that forced a franchise icon off the squad?

CP3 didn't like Kawhi's practice habits 😀
But this Clippers FO is a mess. A debacle. They threw away the one feel good story of the season, the CP3 farewell tour. Really dumb PR.
If we can develop our young talent to at least play decent basketball until the deadline of trade marks and see what they can do I think we’re solid on a rebuild but if there lacking playing time or just not performing we gotta blow it up
Frank has to go!! We are in the situation we are in because of him. Time to clean house!!
We need a New GM, New coach, new star players. It’s been time to rebuild
CP3 was a vocal person, he can say what ever he wants to say. He might got a bad coversation with the organisation. Just a thought.
Hopefully he goes to the Heat. We need veteran leadership
As a suns fan i have absolutely no respect for the clippers now . Chris Paul is someone that deserves respect
Why does anyone root for this awful franchise? What else do you need to know about this franchise before you stop rooting for them? Cheaters, no class, no loyalty, oh and no future for several more years at least.
"we're gonna be a second league team, until we win a ring" lmfao your gotta win at least 10 to be actually considered a part of the city of Los Angeles😂😂😂😂 yall still in Buffalo bro😂
Denver fired Mike Malone who had a 47-32 record and the 4th seed in the West and he won a championship two years prior.
T Lue hasn’t even gotten us to the finals and we hold onto him like he is the best coach of all time…. 😔😔😔
First round exit the last four years for a win now, championship or bust, team. We are a disgraceful 5-16. 👎🏽
And the interim Denver Coach, David Adelman, is doing really well, he outcoached Ty in the Denver series.
We also need a change…
It seems by far that it has to do with Ty and his dismal coaching… which so many fans have been complaining about.
Lawrence Frank and Ty put CP3 back on the team and everyone was hopeful that these moves were good. So many thought the off-season moves were good.
The coaching has not been able to put it together to make it work, motivate them, and accentuate their strengths, and minimize their weaknesses.
You could see it in everyone’s body language. They’re not buying into Ty’s game plan (questionable if there is one).
It has to be the coaching as to why CP3 was let go.
What a trashy organization to send home CP3. Who wants to play for the clippers?
To Ty’s credit, it’s certainly doesn’t help to have an injury prone, ball dominant, inconsistently available, superstar who is not the best leader.
But that’s no excuse not to figure out different lineups and keep the players engaged and buy in. That’s his job.
We have absolutely none of that this year.
What an embarrassing and disrespectful way to treat a franchise great. There’s almost nothing to justify this. This season’s clippers is already a train wreck. Twenty year vets don’t grow on trees in this league, and that’s how you treat him? Can’t even let him end it on his own terms?
Udonis Haslem was beyond washed but even the Heat let him hang around just for his locker room presence. Never once did they kick him out just because the team was bad.
The Ship has sunk, time for a new captain and new ship. New Players new everything. I hate to admit but its over. Lets trade for some young talent and a future not living in the past.
No Defence, slow, and problematic off the court and you guys are mad they kick him off cause of his history of lob city. Good riddance. Dude is 40 years old lmfao. If he wasn't problematic he would have been there still. Oh well. 1/3 to go. T-Lue and L-Frank needs to go. Imagine if Ballmer made cp3 the gm to keep players accountable and make gm moves?
Steve Ballsak driving another company into the ground.
If it was Lawrence Frank , and the front office, Ty would have supported Chris and kept him on the team, because of who he is as a player, and a leader.
But it’s between Ty and Chris and that’s why he got let go
I’m sure it was something serious. Otherwise I would not like the burden of taking a legend out.
Season ticket holders need to ask for a refund chant fire Ty and Lawrence boo the hell out of kawhi for getting to much leeway
Sorry, D. I chose to watch your take first…. I can only imagine Chris went after Kawhi or Harden. I think things escalated, and then there was no turning back. Makes sense, because if it was a coach or the front office…. someone would say…. Stop!!! Let's take a breath, and we'll tackle it first thing tomorrow. Maybe? Always a Clipper Fan, GoClips!!!
This is a clown organization, you keep signing Kawhi who's always hurt, traded SGA who won a chip in OKC, got rid of Norman…smh…fire everyone!!!! Also, a losing season is going help okc in the draft
The Clippers are officially in the Windows ME era. 😮
He kinda deserved it. He couldnt do anything to help the team except talk.
Man you more depressed by the video lolol
R u on the spectrum bro
I'm not a LAC fan but releasing someone bc of his "vocal leadership style of holding players, coaches & management accountable" is insane 😆. That's seemingly an indictment on the LAC bc it's been a narrative that the best players have their own rules & Ty Lue allows it not bc he wants to but bc of Balmer.
Time will tell but Lawrence Frank has got to go. Keep up the good work. Go Clippers.
Yawwwwn`~ You gotta LEAVE THE NEST when you old, grandpa! Adios!!!!! Nobody will miss you! Fact of the life!! But business as usual! Don't get emotional! Get well! Move on! Sun will rise tomorrow and forever and ever.
Agree– it's WRONG that CP-3 wasn't good enough to be on the team.
When Balmer let Kawi force him to give away the farm to bring in PG, he detroyed the franchise.
CLIPPERS GOING CLIP!!! Clipper town full of clowns 🤡 😂
Man we have to tank on kawhi leonard and James Harden
2030 is a long way bro
As a laker fan, I do actually feel bad for this kid
Regarding Ballmer being afraid of the Lakers, I suspect Ty Lue's large long term contract last year was because the Lakers were looking for a coach and he didn't want him going to the Lakers.
They sacked the bully. He's been always a bully. The clippers just beat the bench of Atlanta. Clippers still one of the worst teams in the league.
Fuck Game Time! Gambling ruined the NBA
I was like oh my god! Why god?
You’re 100% right, Dime. Hate that the Clips did CP3 like this..
CP3 is the only reason I became a fan of the Clippers. Matter a fact I just booked a trip to watch the Magic @ Clippers game in Feb TO SEE CP3 (be that riding the bench or whatever…) I think this is it for me. Good luck Clippers.
I mean, if the reports are true that Tyler refuses to talk to Chris Paul I feel like that was bad on Ty Lue part. He’s supposed to be the coach he’s supposed to manage that shit. You don’t manage by not talking to somebody.
clippers fans are corny. every clipper fans is emo
