US EditionChris Paul Returns to Clippers for What’s Expected to Be His 21st and Final NBA Season
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA, JUL 21 – Chris Paul returns to the Clippers on a $3.6 million one-year deal to support a veteran roster aiming for a Western Conference title in his 21st NBA season.
- On Monday in Los Angeles, the Clippers added Chris Paul on a one-year, $3.6 million deal, with ESPN's Shams Charania reporting the signing; they also acquired Bradley Beal, Brook Lopez and John Collins to bolster the lineup.
- With last season’s 50-win campaign ended in a first-round playoff exit, the Clippers pursued roster upgrades to improve spacing, defense and depth for a title run.
- Without James, we can’t even get Bradley Beal, Lawrence Frank said, and he added, `All James cares about is winning. He’s willing to sacrifice part of his game, part of his contract`.
- With its mix of guards and frontcourt veterans, the Clippers appear ready to challenge for a conference crown, Lawrence Frank said, indicating the revamped roster now balances playmaking and frontcourt strength.
- Salary cap flexibility gives the Clippers the ability to target star free agents after maximizing veteran contributions, enabling long-term strategic planning.
