At media day, Paul was put forth as a credible voice as the franchise dealt with the fallout from a salary cap-circumvention investigation. It was precisely the type of role it seemed he'd been brought back to play. But once Paul began playing it, the Clippers seemed to recoil. When he offered suggestions to a player about training methods, he was warned not to undermine the staff, sources said. When he'd challenge players on or off the court, or tell them how to run a play, there were complaints from both players and coaches that he was abrasive. "That's how Chris is," one executive with another team said. "He wears you out. He's convinced he's right -- and he often is right, which kind of pisses you off -- and he'll go around to everyone until you agree with him." All this became even more pronounced in training camp, as Paul quickly became a standout as the leader of the second unit, which was routinely beating the starters. "We were kicking their ass," forward John Collins recently told ESPN. "Everyday we were kicking [the starters'] ass." Paul played 19 minutes a game during the preseason, averaging 8.3 points and 5.3 assists. It was a much heartier role than had been discussed in the summer. "I think that's where Ty went wrong," said one source close to the situation, "because that really empowered Chris and changed the expectations." Lue liked Paul's competitive spirit, and he played well in the time he was given. And the team needed him with Leonard, Bogdan Bogdanovic and Bradley Beal nursing injuries coming into the season. It was then, multiple sources said, that the schism began to develop. "If all they wanted was a cheerleader," the executive said, "why did they sign Chris Paul? I mean, they had him before. They knew what he was like." AFTER THE TEAM was blown out in its season opener against the Utah Jazz, sources said Paul attempted to get players to talk about the loss as they came into the locker room. It was the kind of thing Paul would routinely do on other teams. But the Clippers' locker room, full of veteran players and coaches, is not particularly active, even after wins, sources said. So Paul's attempt to encourage dialogue fell flat. A few nights later, after a win over New Orleans, Paul and his wife hosted a Halloween party for players and staffers in a club at the Intuit Dome. It was meant as a culture-building exercise, and afterward Frank and others commended Paul for doing it, despite only a handful of players attending, sources said. Then the Clippers didn't win a game for almost two weeks. Three of those losses (two against the Phoenix Suns, one against the Oklahoma City Thunder) came against teams Paul had recently played for, and at one point, sources said, he asked a member of the coaching staff why he hadn't been consulted on how those teams, and particularly their star players, Devin Booker and Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, operate. The question, or perhaps its delivery, was not thought to be constructive, sources said. Paul was benched for the second half of a game in Phoenix on Nov. 6, despite both Harden and Leonard being out of the lineup that night. The next morning, Paul went to the facility early to get in a workout. The first person he encountered was Frank, and the two agreed to talk. During the meeting, sources said Paul raised concerns about the team's culture -- noting the lack of conversation in the group text chat and the lack of time the players spent together off the court. Frank, for his part, stressed that Paul's style wasn't in line with what they needed it to be -- that his leadership was being perceived as subversive rather than helpful. Later that day, Paul and Lue talked on the phone for 40 minutes. It was their final substantive conversation before Paul was sent home nearly a month later, on Dec. 2. (Every other interaction was short or via text, sources said). The call began with Paul asking Lue why he'd been benched for the second half of the Clippers' game the night before, a game in which the Clippers led by three points at the half only to lose by 13. Paul suggested having a meeting among team leaders and holding more practices on off days. Lue told Paul he was coming across as too critical of players and coaches and needed to understand -- and own up to that. A call that was meant to resolve festering issues and clarify roles ultimately did neither. Later that day, Lue informed Paul he would not be in the rotation for the next game. He did not elaborate but with the team struggling defensively -- LA's top-five defense from a season ago had struggled against younger, faster offenses -- and something had to be done to change the dynamic. The next day, Nov. 8, during the game against the Suns, tensions spread to the bench. Paul and Van Gundy somehow found themselves shoulder to shoulder on the bench. It was the first game of what would be five consecutive DNP-CDs. For a long time, neither man said a word. Eventually Paul broke the awkward silence, snarkily asking Van Gundy if he wasn't talking to him. Van Gundy scoffed in response, multiple sources who witnessed the exchange said, and questioned Paul's earnestness. The next day at the facility, Paul had another long meeting with Frank, sources said. In it, he gave Paul a "final warning" about being divisive. Paul also had another tense meeting with Van Gundy that day too, trying to resolve the previous night's exchange and other issues that had caused friction between them. Both meetings ended well enough that Paul asked and was granted permission to talk to the team. Frank also said he'd try to facilitate a meeting with Lue. On Nov. 11, an off day after a loss to the Atlanta Hawks, Paul stood in front of the team and apologized if he'd come off as too negative or divisive. WHATEVER DETENTE WAS achieved through Paul's mea culpa didn't last long. The Clippers went just 2-13 in November, continuing to lose even after Paul returned to the rotation and Leonard returned from a foot injury. During that stretch, on Nov. 22 Paul announced this would be his final year -- officially turning the rest of this season into a retirement tour. He had tried to inform team owner Steve Ballmer of his impending decision, before he announced anything, but sources said they didn't connect until afterward and that conversation ended up being their final one. The Clippers wanted to honor him with a tribute video, but Paul told them it was the wrong message to highlight in the middle of a losing streak. So on Nov. 28, before what would prove to be the third to last game of his time with the Clippers, the team released a video. The caption said Paul would "end his Hall of Fame career at home." It took less than four days for that to prove false. On Nov. 30, tensions between Paul and Van Gundy came to a head on the team's flight to Miami. Van Gundy had been upset the night before that Paul had openly questioned how the coaching staff had used Leonard's limited minutes toward the end of the team's loss to the Dallas Mavericks, their seventh in eight games. Leonard was coming off a minutes restriction and was defending a red-hot Klay Thompson, known for his movement without the ball. That took a lot of energy, Paul had argued. Van Gundy accused Paul of changing the coverage without approval. Paul responded that he had only "suggested" switching Leonard's defensive assignment because he had bumped up against his minutes restriction. To prove his point, Paul stood up and walked down the aisle of the plane to Leonard and Kris Dunn and asked them if he'd suggested a change or actually changed the coverage, multiple sources who witnessed the interaction said. Both players affirmed that he'd suggested it, sources said. The interaction was brought up again to other players on the team during the flight, and sources said that subsequently got back to the coaching staff and front office. That night, the team decided they'd finally had enough. "He was a pain in the ass when he was a great player," another executive with a different team said. "And now he's not a great player." Frank wanted to deliver the news to Paul in person, which meant he had to either tell him Monday before the team's game against the Heat or Tuesday in Atlanta. Frank chose Atlanta, but the meeting got pushed back because the team's flight was delayed out of Miami by six hours, after another loss. Around 11 p.m., inside Frank's hotel room at the Four Seasons, he told Paul of the team's plans to send Paul home, adding that he hoped to work with Paul on how the statement would be announced and that he hoped the team could still retire Paul's jersey one day, sources said. Paul was stunned, sources said, and tried to plead his case. At one point, he brought teammate Brook Lopez into the room as something of a character witness. Lopez and Leonard were Paul's most ardent supporters on the team, sources said. Paul reminded Frank that he'd asked him to facilitate another meeting with Lue and that hadn't happened. Frank acknowledged that, but held firm. The decision had been made. With that, it was over.
