After being rather unceremoniously kicked to the curb by the Clippers, Chris Paul received one final parting gesture from the organization he once called home.

A mock trade has the Dallas Mavericks sending Anthony Davis and D'Angelo Russell to the Los Angeles Clippers in exchange for four players.

The Clippers are in Atlanta, where they are set to visit the Hawks Wednesday night after a blowout loss Monday to the Miami Heat that dropped their record to 5-16. Paul signified at 2:40 a.m. ET that the Clippers were letting him go, posting on his Instagram stories account: “Just Found Out I’m Being Sent Home” with a peace emoji.

While Lue hasn't been able to solve any of the Clippers' problems, the lion's share of the blame falls on Lawrence Frank, who built this roster. Every single one of his offseason moves has backfired.

Clippers owner Steve Ballmer is pointed to as the reason why the team will not go through a rebuild as there are a bevy of reasons.

Amid early struggles for the Los Angeles Clippers, it's fair to assume they might be sellers at the NBA trade deadline.
