The Clippers on Tuesday signaled the end of guard Chris Paul’s second tenure in Los Angeles when they sent the future Hall of Famer home and the team’s president of basketball operations Lawrence Frank told ESPN in a statement that player and organization were “parting ways.”
The news stunned the basketball world, including two of Paul’s most high-profile teammates, James Harden and Kawhi Leonard. It also angered one of Paul’s longtime friends, former NBA star and current NBA on NBC analyst Carmelo Anthony.
