The NBA is regarded as the league that routinely gets coaches fired. In some cases it may be true, but in other cases it can just be speculation. According the Chris Paul, the latter is the truth regarding he and Vinny Del Negro.
Clippers owner Donald Sterling all but acknowledged that Chris Paul was a reason the team had to remove Vinny Del Negro. He didn’t say it explicitly, but he didn’t deny it either. Apparently, Chris resents this and is upset with the club.
Will this play a role into whether or not he stays with the club? Who knows, but I’m sure this will blow over soon considering the Clippers can offer him the most money.
“He’s angry right now and his anger is directed toward the Clippers organization,” the source said. “Chris is a man of principle and if he feels like you’ve gone against his principles, it will affect how he feels about you. He’s very agitated that his name has been put out there as the reason for Vinny’s firing. He had nothing to do with it.”
