The Los Angeles Clippers have made the stunning move to send home future Hall of Fame point guard Chris Paul. Paul, who has already announced that he'll retire at the end of the season, confirmed the shocking development with a late-night Instagram post. It's now unclear what Paul's future will be or how he'll close out his excellent career. Considering that the Clippers are a dreadful 5-16 and he's playing 14.3 minutes per game, Paul could find himself in a better situation.
But the NBA world is waking up Wednesday trying to figure out how everyone involved, including the big-swinging and free-spending Clippers, found themselves in this situation. Social media breadcrumbs are being followed and analyzed, with a post Paul made back on Sunday drawing attention.
