Chris Paul's future is up in the air following the stunning news that the Clippers had sent him home on Dec. 3, the first step in the team's decision to ultimately part ways with the future Hall of Famer.

And if the Clippers are looking to trade Paul, they can potentially cross one team off the list of hypothetical suitors: the Charlotte Hornets.
