“Take Y’all A**es Back to Buffalo”: Gilbert Arenas Tears Into Steve Ballmer as Clippers Throw Chris Paul Under the Bus With Shocking Waive 

Former NBA player Gilbert Arenas wasn’t excited about Chris Paul’s treatment by the LA Clippers. Agent Zero on Instagram on Wednesday called out Clippers owner Steven Ballmer for throwing the 12-time All-Star under the bus after it was announced they were parting ways with him.

“Y'all gon' send the best Clipper y'all ever had home and not let him finish his last year,” Arenas said. Take y'all a**es back home then. Go back to Buffalo … We don't want you here. I’m sorry, Ballmer. I know you just bought the team and you got all the money. Take y'all a**es back to Buffalo.”

Clippers President of Basketball Operations, Lawrence Frank confirmed the story in a statement. He asserted that Paul isn’t to blame for the team’s poor performance and takes full responsibility for their struggles.

Paul was expected to retire at the end of the season after 21 seasons. In his brief time in Los Angeles, he averaged 2.9 points and 3.3 assists in 14.3 minutes played.

He first joined the Clippers in 2011 after an initial deal to join the LA Lakers was controversially voided by the league. He combined well with Blake Griffin and De’Andre Jordan to create a fast-paced offense and flashy dunks that earned them the nickname “Lob City”. CP3 left for Houston after the Clippers couldn’t offer him the deal he wanted.

Friction between Chris Paul and Clippers Coach Ty Lue: Reports

Before being let go, there was a friction between Chris Paul and Coach Ty Lue, according to ESPN's Shams Charania.

Paul was vocal about the Clippers’ struggles. They have lost their last five games, winning just twice in their last 15 matchups.

“Paul has been vocal in holding management, coaches and players accountable, which the team felt became disruptive," Charania tweeted. "Specifically: Ty Lue was not on speaking terms with Paul for several weeks.”

It is not yet clear how the Clippers intend to part ways with Chris Paul. But a straightforward waiver is not possible as it will prevent them from filling his spot due to first-apron restrictions.
