    Chris Paul's representatives have told teams not to even bother pursuing the point guard when free agency begins at 12:01 a.m. ET Monday because he will re-sign with the Los Angeles Clippers, according to league sources.


    Paul's decision to stay with the Clippers is no surprise, but the latest word from his camp has ended whatever small hope opposing teams had of luring the All-Star, sources said.

    Doc Rivers becoming the Clippers' new head coach and senior vice president of basketball operations earlier this week assured that Paul will remain in Los Angeles, according to sources.

    Respect for Paul just getting it out of the way. Now the Rockets can go at Howard 100 percent.

    It would of been a waste of time. HOU only flirted with the idea because they are gonna be out here in Cali anyway.. Knew he was gonna resign with LAC after lobbying to get the Doc Rivers hire completed...

    We want CP3. DM should trade Lin and Asik for CP3.

    What? CP3 told teams not to even bother pursuing him?

    Okay, we have Lin and he will grow to be a PG better than CP3.

    CP doesn't know what's good for him. We'll force our way to giving him our presentation.

    Whoa, there. Keep your expectations realistic. Lin will be a fine PG, but isn't gonna get to a point where he's the best in the game.

    The sad part will be ultimately Dwight will stay in Lakers, CP3 stays in Clippers, TRob will stay in Rockets and basically the team will stay put as last season :)

    I guess Clippers were able to convince Chris Paul that Doc Rivers is indeed black.

    And none of our assistant coaches get a head coaching job... Actually, this part isn't sad :cool:

    Much respect to CP3 for getting it out early instead of playing hard to get. Everyone should by insurance from Cliff.
