The Clippers have done something disgusting again! The reason for Paul’s dismissal has been revealed, and it’s also related to his personality!

Let’s first look at the reasons from multiple sources.

Paul has consistently bluntly demanded that management, coaches, and players be accountable for the team’s failures, hoping for changes that would help the team succeed, but management could no longer tolerate it.

The Clippers believed this disturbed the team’s normal order, and Tyronn Lue severed contact with Paul for several weeks because of it.

Then, at 3 a.m. in an away game in Atlanta, the team’s greatest player was abruptly dismissed.

However, just a week before, when Paul announced this would be his final season, the Clippers even released a tribute video...

It was expected to be a respectful homecoming for the veteran captain, but it ended in such a messy way. Looking across NBA history, this ranks as a disgraceful episode, so if you ask me what I think, I can only say the Clippers have done something “disgusting” again.

What baffles me the most is the manner of it.

Breaking up is understandable, but did it have to be so extreme? Late at night, on the road.

Who knows, Paul might have been asleep when he received the termination call...

I thought, at least out of respect for a veteran, it could have been handled more gently...

But I’m sure everyone has heard enough complaints over the past 10-plus hours.

Let me offer a different perspective on this matter.

People often say “personality determines fate,” and I’ve always been somewhat skeptical about whether that’s entirely true.

However, it certainly can influence one’s destiny.

Chris Paul is an extremely competitive and stubborn player. His determination was a key factor in his success despite being only 1.83 meters tall. Without that drive, he wouldn’t be the legendary point guard he is.

However, you might not want to be friends with someone like that in everyday life.

Last season with the Spurs, he himself said:“I’m a difficult person to get along with.”

His personality is quite similar to Kobe’s.

So, from his conflicts with Harden in Houston to how the Clippers handled him now, it definitely relates directly to Paul’s character.

In his final season, a typical player might coast, do as little as possible, not care if the team loses, and just collect the paycheck.

But Paul can’t do that.

So when the Clippers were performing poorly, this man couldn’t just sit back and do nothing.

And because of that, big problems arose.

We all know that since Paul joined the Clippers in 2011, he has at least secured them steady playoff appearances.

His contributions need no further elaboration.

But now, whether the Clippers acknowledge this is another question.

Perhaps teammates and coaches think:“With your poor performance this year, you want to lecture me?”

Paul’s performance this season has indeed declined sharply.

If he tries to organize team meetings, from one perspective, it’s inappropriate, especially with Harden and Leonard on the team.

If this happened with the Warriors, Curry could verbally scold teammates all he wants, but no matter how much he yells, he wouldn’t be shown the door, because of his status and achievements.

Paul doesn’t have that privilege, even though he is the veteran captain.

Additionally, the Clippers have never had much of a team culture or cohesion.

They have never retired any jersey number in their history.

Remember how they treated another franchise legend, Griffin?

Just seven months after signing a five-year, $171 million contract to stay in Los Angeles, he was traded to Detroit.

Reports say Griffin and his team were not informed or hinted about the trade beforehand; he found out via social media and news outlets.

So after Paul was dismissed, he will likely call Griffin, and they could talk from 3 a.m. until dawn...

The internet’s public opinion is quite strange.

If the Clippers improve after cutting Paul? They actually beat the Hawks today.

Then how would those so-called “experts” and “fans” evaluate this decision?

So, everyone should keep a balanced mindset.

Some might misunderstand what I wrote today and think I’m defending the Clippers.

Those who think that probably haven’t had work experience.

Because in many workplaces, situations like this often happen:

If you can’t solve the problem, then deal with the person who raised it...

Paul was that person who raised the issue.
