“What I realized that brought this to an abrupt end was there were several scenarios where CP held people accountable, from the players to the staff, from the coaching staff to the front office,” Williams said. “From what I understand, there was a situation where he even addressed the team and apologized and said, ‘Look, my criticism is coming from a good place. I want us to be a good team, I want us to fix this.'”
“And he was just holding guys accountable. How some of those conversations were taken or interpreted is up to the players and the coaching staff that were involved and how they felt about it,” Williams continued. “Down there, there was another scenario where he was critical of the front office as well, and I think that was the one that broke the camel’s back.”
Paul joined the Clippers as a free agent in the offseason, but as the season wore on, he fell out of the rotation and the team continued to struggle. He appeared in 16 games with just over 14 minutes per game.
