I didn't realize that, as great of a player as CP3 was, he's a divisive person.

Seems to me his persona worked well on a young OKC team (lots of OKC players saying nice things about CP3 lately). He was treated with respect there - he was still good and of course one of most decorated players, teaching young guys. They listended to him and respected his authority.

I can imagine that same ways don't work with a veteran squad such as Clippers. Those guys consider themselves same level as CP3 as to what they have achieved and don't appreciate some "chiwawa" being the smartest person in the room the whole time. 

I don't understand why they brought him in in the first place. Whatever he is, he is a team legend. Certainly a bad look for Clippers to end it this way.
