As it is Clippers debacle with Paul has generated plenty of news and attention about the situation, Perkins offered more advice about what he’s heard, such as Paul “doing things behind” head coach Ty Lue’s back.
“Those were things that built up over the course of the season,” Perkins said. “He was doing things behind Ty Lue’s back. He was going to the players, whispering, saying things and causing turmoil when the team is already struggling and going through a lot.
