"In a three-team deal with the Clippers, Toronto Raptors, and Brooklyn Nets, Shams Charania of ESPN and Chris Haynes of Amazon Prime Video report that the 12-time All-Star is being sent to the Raptors. The Nets will add former Toronto shooting guard Ochai Agbaji and a 2032 Raptors second-round pick. The Clippers will send Brooklyn $3.5 million in the deal. According to The Stein Line's Jake Fischer, LA will be adding the rights to Serbian small forward Vana Marinkovic, a 2019 Nets draft-and-stash pick."
"The 6-footer agreed to a one-year veteran's minimum contract to return to Los Angeles this past summer in free agency. The 40-year-old Wake Forest product looked officially cooked during his brief tenure with the Clippers this past fall. In 16 games, Paul averaged just 2.9 points on .321/.333/.500 shooting splits, 3.3 assists, 1.8 rebounds, and 0.7 steals across a scant 14.3 minutes per."
"From 2011-17, Paul initially starred for the Clippers during the franchise's "Lob City" era alongside fellow All-Stars Blake Griffin and DeAndre Jordan. The well-traveled pro wanted to spend his 21st - and final - NBA season in the city his family has called home ever since. Unfortunately, internal fissures on the team led to permanent friction, and he was effectively banished from LA for good three months ago."
Chris Paul was traded from the Los Angeles Clippers to the Toronto Raptors in a three-team deal involving the Brooklyn Nets. The Nets received Ochai Agbaji and a 2032 Raptors second-round pick. The Clippers sent $3.5 million to Brooklyn and acquired the draft-and-stash rights to Serbian small forward Vana Marinkovic. The Raptors are expected to cut Paul if no further trade materializes, saving $4.1 million to get below the luxury tax and generating a $6.4 million trade exception. Paul averaged 2.9 points, 3.3 assists and 1.8 rebounds in 16 games this season after signing a one-year veteran's minimum contract. Agbaji averaged 10.4 points with strong shooting splits in 2024-25.
