I know he can be an arse. But damn, pretty odd to cut possibly the best player in your franchise history, in the middle of their retirement tour.

First Blake Griffin, now Paul. They must want to make it real difficult for future stars to trust having a meaningful stint there.

They're in LA, NBA superstars will always be attracted to LA.

Did I miss the part in the article where Balmer was involved? And the middle of the night?

Until I see more details I’m not taking an NBA players word for anything

Come home, CP3. It'll be depressing to everyone involved but whatever

Chris Paul is so overrated. Never got a ring, even while trying to piggyback.

He doesn’t deserve to have it end like this. He helped teach SGA when SGA was learning NBA and also played his rookie season in OKC when we had the loaner team.

Would love to see him get an assistant coaching job here.

Rob nailed it

Such an embarrassement

L Frank and Ty Lue need to be sent packing before CP3

Steve Balmer should not be allowed to own a team

Truly not trolling my man.


What in the absolute shite have people seen in Ty Lue?

The media and fans alike have propped him up so hard for years, while I’ve sat here thinking he’s a trash head coach.

Who knows. I was always a fan of Lues till last year. I wish we let the Lakers steal him away from us

I think he is wrapped up in this Billups issue (which i saw Chauncey at the Hotel1 in brooklyn last week. Gawking at my wife and daughter lmao)

But im not hearing this was Ballmer. It seems something wild happened or was said to Lue/Frank

The entire team needs to be blown up if the losing continues the next 30days

Couldn't have happened to a more deserving person. Chris Paul is a hoe bitch.

Dude was making peanuts this year.

He must have been an insufferable douche behind the scenes
