Sources: Things Between Jordan, Paul Aren’t Good

All season, multiple sources say, a growing schism emerged between (DeAndre) Jordan and point guard Chris Paul, and it could contribute to Jordan’s decision to stay or go as a free agent.

Sources say Paul’s well-known edginess and drive ground on Jordan’s nerves for much of the year. Contributing to the problem was Paul’s view that Jordan lacked the appropriate commitment to working on his free throws, including not working enough with the Clippers shooting coach on that issue, sources said.

“Things aren’t good there,” a league source familiar with the inner workings of the Clippers organization said. Asked if the issues between the two were serious, the source said, “Oh yeah. (Jordan) might leave. He really might.”
