Blake Griffin Slams Clippers Over Chris Paul's 'Disappointing' Exit

Chris Paul (40) was unceremoniously released by the Los Angeles Clippers, drawing strong criticism from Blake Griffin. Griffin slammed the Clippers' "sloppy" handling and lack of communication with Paul, Ty Lue, and Steve Ballmer. Reports detail Paul's clashes with leadership, including weeks without speaking to Lue, and alleged criticism of team members, for which Paul apologized. Averaging a career-low 2.9 PPG for the 5-16 Clippers, Paul's meeting request with Lue was declined. Paul, "still scarred," aims to play until season's end. Despite the messy exit, the Hall of Famer ranks among the top 10 all-time point guards.
