Clippers Strongly Considering Reunion with Free Agent Chris Paul
The Los Angeles Clippers are "strongly considering" a reunion with 20-year veteran point guard Chris Paul, as confirmed by President of Basketball Operations Lawrence Frank. Frank lauded Paul as a "great player" and "great Clipper," noting that he possesses the ballhandling and playmaking qualities the team aims to add. Paul, who previously spent six seasons with the Clippers from 2011 to 2017 during the "Lob City" era, played all 82 games last season with the San Antonio Spurs, averaging 8.8 points, 3.6 rebounds, and 7.4 assists in 28.0 minutes. If signed, the 40-year-old Paul would likely take on a reserve role, contributing alongside James Harden and Kris Dunn to bolster the team's guard depth and alleviate pressure on Harden.
