Chris Paul Returns to Clippers, Eyes Multi-Year Stay and Championship

Chris Paul was emotionally re-introduced as a member of the Clippers, calling his return a 'no-brainer' due to his family's residence in Los Angeles. Paul, who previously played six seasons with the team, agreed to a one-year, $3.6 million veteran minimum deal and indicated he could play a couple more seasons. He is expected to come off the bench for the deep Clippers squad, a role he accepts, and noted Tyronn Lue as a key reason for his return. Last season, he played all 82 games for the San Antonio Spurs, averaging 8.8 points and 7.4 assists, as he continues his pursuit of an NBA championship.
