The Clippers currently have a James Harden Bobblehead Night scheduled for their February 22nd home game against the Orlando Magic. They have already had to cancel their plans for a Chris Paul Bobblehead Night on February 2nd.
It’s been nearly two months since the LA Clippers announced they’d parted ways with future Hall of Fame point guard Chris Paul, but if you step into the team’s home locker room, his locker is still saved and lit up like he’s a part of the team. That’s because technically he is, and there has been no substantial movement toward finding him a new home, sources close to the situation said. Paul has been training and will be ready to perform if he’s included in a trade before Thursday’s deadline.

But with VanVleet likely not returning this season, folks say the Rockets need to get one, at least to finish the year. Hall of Famer Dwyane Wade gave the Rockets a hint. "Blake said, standing around. UD, they need an organizer. They need a quarterback. They need a conductor. They need a guy who can get guys into their spots. They need a guy who can play with bigs. They got Sengun, they got Adams... Chris Paul out there. You need a veteran. They need a guy who don't need to score. Chris Paul out there. Just throw that out there…These are all the things that Chris Paul does well," said Wade.
Chris Paul: I'm working out and training every day, right? In all honesty, with what with the way all that stuff went down and all that, I think for me, I just love this game so much that I don't want it to end like that. You know what I'm saying? So, I’ve enjoyed the time. I've enjoyed the time for sure. You know what I'm saying? I get a chance to go to my kids games, but I don't know yet. So, I don't know what team I hope to finish with.

Michael Scotto: James Harden on whether the Brooklyn Nets trio of him with Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving is the greatest “what if”. “You’ve got that. My whole career — you’ve got two what if situations. OKC, Chris Paul and his hamstring. I don’t even think about that. I’m living in the moment.”

Mookie Betts is apparently helping Chris Paul get ready for his next NBA home. The Dodgers superstar was seen in a video posted to Instagram on Tuesday putting in some work with Paul on the hardwood at the Clippers’ practice facility in Los Angeles. The two, who have been great friends for years, appeared to play a bit of one-on-one, before they got some 3-point shots up.

The Stein Line was told this week that there is no imminent solution to resolve Paul's on-court future. League sources say that Paul might not have his next team until closer to the Feb. 5 buzzer … maybe even as part of outgoing salary in a larger Clippers trade that ultimately sets Paul up to be waived by the team acquiring him so he can choose the next (last?) stop as a free agent.
Despite the 40-year-old's frequently cited desire to play as close to his Los Angeles-based family as possible, sources say that the Lakers are not considering Paul as a potential in-season addition despite the many years of Paul-to-the-Lakers speculation that have swirled leaguewide.
