What the hell is going on with Chris Paul?

Is he going to be waived and moved?

Then an hour later, Shams tweeted out that the sons had not cut ties with Chris Paul,

New coach Frank Vogel has a problem to solve, and he has a problem to solve very soon.

Vogel knows that his offense can not go without a consistent point guard who defends well.

Remember, Dennis Schrooter. Dennis Schrooter might be a
