Los Angeles Clippers will retain their All-star point guard, Chris Paul, offering him a maximum five-year contract worth $107.3 million. Sadly, LA Clippers is now facing a three-game losing streak, bringing them to their first back-to-back losses of the NBA season.
Clippers now face a lot of frustrated fans and a lot of questions about how they will improve their team and keeping their Big 3 at their best. Paul still can't sign is the contract until July 10 since he is an unrestricted free agent.
Meanwhile, Griffin did confirm that he would like to stay with the Clippers as he plays a very important role to the team. Rumors says that if Clippers again could not make it in the playoffs this season, Chris Paul may quit playing for the Clippers.
Paul was actually offered by another team for a maximum four-year-contract worth $79.7 million but didn't accept the offer. According to NBA officials, Clippers hired their new coach, Doc Rivers, who is also the senior vice president of basketball operations, as a representative for the team to meet up with Paul, to discuss the deal but was unable to meet up with him since Paul joined the BET awards earlier Sunday.
There has been a report that the superstar Paul wanted to team up with fellow All-star Dwight Howard, who will also be a free agent soon. Clippers hopes to reach the NBA finals, which will be the first time in franchise history for the Clippers.
On the other hand, power forward All-Star Blake Griffin and center DeAndre Jordan , still continue their teamwork and especially for Chris Paul which holds the key for the Clippers to reach the NBA finals.
Marc J. Spears, a Yahoo! Sports NBA columnist mentioned earlier Monday that Clippers are planning to add to their line up the shooting guard O.J. Mayo, who when he came out of high school and regarded possibly the next Lebron James. But unfortunately, Mayo was reported on Friday disqualified from NBA for two years for drug abuse.
