Clippers Pledge to Work With Chris Paul on Next Team as Lakers Pass, Rockets Wait

League reporting points to a limited market, with the Clippers planning to seek Paul’s approval on any trade partner.

Overview

  • Jake Fischer reported that the Clippers have pledged to help Chris Paul find his next destination and would wait for his approval of a trade partner.
  • The Lakers are not expected to pursue Paul as the front office targets younger players, according to Fischer.
  • The Rockets are not weighing changes until closer to late January due to having roughly $1.2 million of room under the first apron, Fischer reported.
  • Paul said he is staying ready and uncertain about his next move after being sent home by the Clippers.
  • In 16 games with the Clippers he averaged 2.9 points, 3.3 assists and 1.8 rebounds on 32% shooting, and his current salary was reported around $2.2 million.
