Alvin Gentry is interested in the vacant Clippers head coaching position.
"If you look at that job, it's probably the best one out there," Gentry said of the Clippers' vacancy Thursday in an interview on ESPNLA 710. "When you take into consideration the talent level that they have and what they did this year." League sources have told ESPN LA that Gentry will be considered for the Clippers' job once the process gets more serious, but we already knew that was the case. May 24 - 1:07 PM

Chris Paul and Blake Griffin did not get Vinny Del Negro fired, according to Chris Broussard of ESPN.

Clippers owner Donald Sterling came out and said that the move was designed to keep his players happy, so we're having a hard time buying this one. Broussard writes that there were "other voices in the locker room screaming much louder for change," but both Paul and Griffin are the players that have overwhelming say in front office decisions. Regardless, Del Negro is gone and the Clippers will search for a new head coach.

Chris Paul - G - Clippers

Clippers VP Gary Sacks met with free agent Chris Paul Saturday and said he's "very confident" that the All-Star point guard will re-sign.

Paul is eligible to sign a five-year, $108 million extension with the Clippers beginning on July 1. He may flirt with some other clubs, but in the end we'd be very surprised if CP3 didn't return to the Clips. The most any other team can offer Paul is four years and $79.9 million. The main reason he turned down the Clippers' three-year, $60 million offer last season was because he wanted to hold out for the five-year max contract.

Chris Paul - G - Clippers

A Clippers official reportedly told HoopsHype that "This is Chris's roster" in regards to Paul's impending free agency.

It wouldn't be the first time we've heard that CP3 has definitive sway in the front office. The overwhelming expectation remains that Paul will re-sign with the Clippers, but the point guard said he'd take his time during the offseason and do what was best for his future. It would be a surprise to see him bolt the Clippers for another team. Clippers VP of basketball operations Gary Sacks said he's "very confident" Paul will re-sign.

Chris Paul - G - Clippers

Chris Paul (thumb) played 41 minutes in the Clippers' elimination loss to the Grizzlies in Game 6 on Friday, scoring 28 points on 11-of-16 shooting with four rebounds, eight assists and a steal.

Paul looked great though the Clippers made a tactical error in going away from him late, and the Clippers will now enter the offseason trying to re-sign Paul and most likely trying to find a new coach. Matt Barnes scored a playoff career-best 30 points, while Jamal Crawford played just 12 scoreless minutes on an 0-for-5 shooting night.

Chris Paul reiterated that he has no concerns with his sprained thumb heading into Friday's Game 6 against the Grizzlies.

"It's fine. It'll be better tonight," Paul said Friday morning. "I've had some time." The damage is on CP3's left (non-shooting) side. We wouldn't expect him to be limited whatsoever as the Clips face an elimination game.

Chris Paul - G - Clippers

Chris Paul practiced with tape on his left thumb Thursday and will start Friday's Game 6.

Paul was injured Tuesday night when his hand got caught on the jersey of a Grizzlies player. The ailment isn't considered major and Paul says he won't be limited at all. That's a good thing because Blake Griffin (ankle sprain) will likely be pretty limited, if Griffin even suits up Friday night. Paul will need to find a way to keep the Clippers' season from ending prematurely.

Chris Paul has a bruised left hand and will play in Friday's Game 6.

Paul had his left hand wrapped with ice after Tuesday's Game 5 loss but said the injury happened when he hit himself. With Blake Griffin (ankle sprain) very iffy for Friday night, the Clippers will likely need a heroic performance from Paul to stave off elimination at the hands of the Grizzlies.

Chris Paul had his left hand wrapped with ice on it following Game 5's disappointing loss to the Grizzlies.

"I'm cool, I hit myself," Paul said when explaining the ice. We don't think it will impact his availability, but it's certainly worth noting as the Clippers enter a do-or-die Game 6 against the Grizzlies.

Chris Paul - G - Clippers

Chris Paul hit 11-of-24 shots, two 3-pointers and all 11 of his free throws as the Clippers fell to the Grizzlies in L.A. by a final score of 103-93 to fall into a 3-2 hole in their Round 1 matchup.

Paul did what he could tonight, as the other four Clippers' starters totaled just 18 points, and Blake Griffin left early with a high right ankle sprain. Jamal Crawford added 15 points off the bench, but he and CP3 were the only Clippers to score in double figures tonight. Game 6 is in Memphis on Friday night, when the Grizzlies will look to end L.A.'s season.

Chris Paul promised to be more aggressive during Saturday's Game 4.

Paul struggled Thursday night, making just 4-of-11 from the field and failing to get to the free-throw line even once. Paul wasn't specific on how he plans to do that, but chances are it includes attacking the rim more often. We're expecting a better performance tonight, but CP3 still has to go up against suffocating defenders Tony Allen and Mike Conley, which is no easy task.

Chris Paul - G - Clippers

Chris Paul turned the ball over five times in Thursday's 94-82 loss to the Grizzlies to go with eight points, six boards, four assists and three steals on 4-of-11 shooting.

CP3 beat the buzzer on Monday for the win, but he didn't have it tonight with an assist-to-turnover ratio below one. He had that dubious distinction just twice during his 70 games this season. Paul is dealing with a bruised thigh, but his sub-par performance was likely due to the suffocating defense of Tony Allen and Mike Conley. He should have a better game on Saturday, but winning at Memphis is no easy task.

Chris Paul - G - Clippers

Chris Paul hit the game-winning shot with 0.1 seconds left in Monday's 93-91 Game 2 win over the Grizzlies, and finished with 24 points on 9-of-17 shooting (0-for-3 3PTs, 6-of-6 FTs), four rebounds, nine assists and one steal.

Paul got singled up on Tony Allen and earned this game-winner in a physical drive to the hoop, and was also assisted by Blake Griffin's hold of strong-side help defender Darrell Arthur, in a play that will probably go without a whistle at least 90 times out of 100. DeAndre Jordan had four blocks, a steal and eight boards, Blake Griffin scored 21 points with eight rebounds, four assists and a block, and Jamal Crawford scored 15 points with a three and three steals.

Chris Paul suffered a thigh bruise in Saturday's win over the Grizzlies.

The injury is not considered serious and it should not impact his status for Monday's game. CP3 was spectacular in Saturday's win and he went a little under the radar with the play of OKC and Miami during the regular season.

Chris Paul - G - Clippers

Chris Paul and the Clippers had a strong finish to their 112-91 win over the Grizzlies on Saturday, while Paul finished with 23 points, two boards, seven assists, two steals and three 3-pointers on 33 minutes.

Paul came to play today and the entire Clipper backcourt showed they have a huge advantage. The Clippers as a team did an outstanding job in getting the ball into the paint for their big men while hitting seven 3-pointers and shooting 55.4 percent from the field. The Grizzlies allowed the least points per game to opposing backcourts in the regular season and the Clips will have an easy time with more nights like this one. Jamal Crawford scored 13 points while Eric Bledsoe scored 15 points.
