Chris Paul is just getting hit from all angles.
The good news he is still getting paid, but everyone is speaking on how he is a bad teammate and now players are saying he is a bad union President as well.
Here is why via The Athletic.
The reign of CP3 is not popular with the NBA’s lower classes
Some players around the league laughed when union president Chris Paul and his massive contract got dealt to the rebuilding Thunder for Russell Westbrook. Why? Because Paul’s regime is not viewed as one devoted to serving the NBA’s middle and lower classes.
“They advocate for the interests of max players and super-max players,” one veteran player said of Paul and company. “Basically, the CBA has helped the whole banana boat crew from back in the day. It’s taken from the midlevel. I think middle-tier players aren’t getting that mid level money anymore.
“I think just that huge super max has had cost. Teams are putting all their eggs in one basket to keep that super-max guy. It’s dried up the salary cap. I don’t see it as sustainable long term.”
I am not sure if this is true, because a lot of average players are getting paid like all-stars.
I think players just in general don’t like Chris Paul and that is what the issue is.
