Team Note: The chips Paul traded with the Clippers and has become the current Harden & Collins

July 23rd News Clippers' team record Law Murray posted a picture showing how Paul came to the Clippers, left the Clippers, and returned to the Clippers.

LawMurray said that Paul brought the Clippers into the championship ranks, and the chips he obtained through trading are still helping the Clippers.

In 2011, the Clippers exchanged three lottery picks (2003 No. 6 Carman, 2008 No. 7 Eric Gordon and 2010 No. 8 Aminu) + the 2012 first round pick (selected Rivers Jr.) for Paul. In 2013, the Clippers signed a five-year, $107 million contract extension with Paul, with the last year being the player option. In 2017, Paul did not jump out of the contract and entered the free market, but instead implemented the player option and was traded by the Clippers to the Rockets. The Clippers obtained seven players including Beverly and Louve and the 2018 first-round pick (spellman was selected). In 2021, the Clippers won Rondo with Lou Vie as the main trade, and then won Bledsoe with Rondo and Beverly. In 2022, the Clippers won Powell and Covington in a main trade with Bledsoe. In 2023, the Clippers won Harden with Covington + Batum and other trades. In 2025, the Clippers won Collins with a Powell trade and then signed Paul back.
