Draymond Green sounds off on the Clippers stunningly sending Chris Paul home originally appeared on NBC Sports Bay Area
Former teammate and current Warriors forward Draymond Green didn’t hold back when he weighed in on the scorched earth the Los Angeles Clippers unleashed in sending home franchise legend Chris Paul.
“There will always be finger pointing, that’s just the way s–t goes,” Green explained Thursday on “The Draymond Green Show.”
The news of the Clippers’ decision to part ways with Paul broke late on Tuesday night after a late-night three-hour conversation within the front office.
Sources alluded that Paul’s criticism regarding lack of accountability clashed with the team, specifically, coach Ty Lue.
“Holding management, coaches, and players accountable seems like something that needs to be done in order to win at a high level,” Green shared. “… I think those things must be done in an organization to be competitive and compete at the highest level.”
Personality clashes between teammates is something Draymond is familiar with as a leader and team captain. His behavior was something he was mandated by the NBA to receive counseling for two seasons ago during Paul’s lone season with Golden State.
“CP has always been that guy to hold everyone accountable,” he praised, “… The facts are the facts. CP is as great as we all know he is.”
Paul ultimately signed with the San Antonio Spurs on a one-year contract after being waived by the Warriors in 2024. He signed with the Clippers in July 2025 in what was expected to be his farewell tour before retiring from the NBA.
“It’s unfortunate. If that can be done to Chris Paul, imagine what can be done to the rest of us, so I think if you’re an NBA player, this should bother you.”
As of now, Paul’s contract is at a standstill, he is not waived by the Clippers and cannot be traded until as early as Dec. 15. Nonetheless, CP3’s legendary Clippers career will not end on his own terms.
