Among the biggest reasons the Clippers let Vinny Del Negro go today, sources say: Chris Paul was not a fan.

Though Del Negro played a role in acclimating Paul to L.A. and Clips, Paul did not back the coach to management after season ended.

As Clips search for new coach, Paul is known to be a proponent of Warriors assistant Michael Malone. They were together in New Orleans.
