There's a meme on the Internet that surfaces occasionally of a simply-drawn man holding a stick, poking something else, with the caption, "Do something."
That's what the whole basketball world is saying to the Los Angeles Clippers right now in regards to Chris Paul.
The whole CP3 saga has been quite bizarre.
Everyone knows he's not playing for the Clippers anymore. But he is, in fact, still a player for the Clippers.
They sent him home in early December, but nothing has happened since then.
The Clippers haven't traded Paul. They haven't released Paul. Nothing.

The main reason that nothing happened immediately was that for a newly signed player to be traded, it had to be Dec. 15, and it wasn't yet. Since Paul signed back to L.A. In the offseason he needed at least that Dec. 15 date to be sent to a new team.
The Clippers would likely prefer a trade to a release, just to recoup a tiny bit of value back for Paul.
But now, the NBA trade deadline is in less than two weeks, and nothing has happened.
Does Paul even want to keep playing? Do any other teams want him? Why in the world is this taking so long?
No one seems to really have any new reporting on the matter, and so the basketball world waits to see what will become of what could be CP3's final chapter in the NBA.
