The Raptors will not require Chris Paul to report to the team and could still discuss trades involving him over the next day. Toronto is now out of the tax. Brooklyn picks up an asset and cash to cover Agbaji's salary. The Clippers clear a roster spot and save $7 million in tax.
The tension between Chris Paul and the Clippers started after he quickly stood out as the leader of the second unit, which “routinely” beat the starters, per @ramonashelburne.

Dedicated half his career to a dogshit franchise, returning for one final storybook retirement season, then at midnight a month into the season he’s “sent home” as a 40 year old in your 21st NBA season
The Clippers organization is truly criminal. Hopefully the tree allegations are true
