The biggest thing I didn’t understand about this trade is that people acting like Chris Paul is kind of a washed up peel. BPM higher than last year’s Beal and playing more games.

For the second Monday in a row, we’re discussing the possibility of a reconnection between the Los Angeles Clippers and Chris Paul.
But it’s not just about how and why Clippers will care about CP3 2.0. Here’s a look at other stakeholders involved as well.

new #HoopCollective With @WindhorstESPN and @espn_macmahon on all aspects of Bradley Bell’s blockbuster trade: what it means for the Suns and Wizards, what’s next for Chris Paul, how it could affect Damian Lillard and much more. open.spotify.com/episode/6hwyQu… – 9:47 a.m
Chris Paul says he found out he was traded on a flight to New York because of his appearance on GMA: “In this league, anything can happen. You just figure out what’s next.” This was previously slated to promote his new book, Sixty-One. pic.twitter.com/pFiwsfCmww – 9:44 a.m
If it’s true that Chris Paul frequently travels to LA to be with family between Suns commitments, I really don’t see how he ends up anywhere other than California – 9:40 a.m
In light of the Clippers’ monitoring of Chris Paul’s situation, this interaction from TheShopUN where Paul showed his appreciation for Tyronn Lue as an assistant in 2013-2014 was a little different.
CP: “I haven’t played for him as a head coach, but I’m sure he’s still the same.” pic.twitter.com/cKRhgrpb73 – 8:52 a.m
