Paul had been coming of a season where he appeared in 82 games for the San Antonio Spurs.

Therefore, Paul could still likely help out other NBA teams.

Paul was the fourth pick in the 2005 NBA Draft out of Wake Forest.
The 12-time All-Star has also spent time with the New Orleans Hornets, Houston Rockets, Phoenix Suns, Oklahoma City Thunder and Golden State Warriors over 21 seasons.
Via ESPN’s Ramona Shelburne (on December 3): “Stunning development with the Clippers sending franchise legend Chris Paul home tonight. Obviously he’s been in and out of Tyronn Lue’s rotation this year. But sending any player home, let alone a player of Paul’s stature in the league and with the franchise, is quite a move.”
Paul spent the prime of his career with the Clippers from 2011-17.
In that span, he made five All-Star Games (but the team failed to reach the Western Conference finals).
