The Los Angeles Clippers did Chris Paul dirty. That’s the consensus among NBA fans when the team they decided to let go their former franchise player around two weeks after he announced that he is going to retire with them. One part where the truth appears hard to reach is what relationship he had with the team.

Former Clippers star Blake Griffin earlier said that the coach is yet to reach out to Paul but the latter only managed to return the question.
