Adam Silver Wants Chris Paul To Finish Season Elsewhere

Adam Silver said he hopes Chris Paul’s career is not finished and added "I'd love to see him finish off the season on another team." The Clippers sent the 40 year old home after he fell in and out of the rotation, and reports say his "leadership style clashed with the Clippers," that he was "vocal in holding management, coaches and players accountable," and that he had arguments with Tyronn Lue and "especially associate head coach Jeff Van Gundy." Los Angeles could try to get value in a trade while Paul is reportedly still working out, leaving the door open for a return. Merlin sees a veteran who still trains like a starter and who wants a proper ending to a storied run. A team that values his on court savvy and tough love could welcome him, but fit and chemistry will decide if he plays again or fades quietly.
