Just when you thought things were finally ‘normal’ with the Los Angeles Clippers franchise, this happens.
A power struggle between a front office executive, the head coach and players.
That’s the word from TMZ who reports Gillian Zucker, the team’s president of business operations is creating a divide between the three parties and players are getting tired of it.
But we’re told Zucker has been increasingly more involved on the basketball side … inserting herself into things like player development and playing time decisions … and it’s leaving many people confused, since she’s often not on the same page as Doc.
The way it’s being described to us … it’s like if you have 2 bosses telling you to do 2 different things — who do you listen to? People feel like their allegiance is constantly being tested.
In fact, we’re told one player was so frustrated with the power struggle, he actually made the decision not to re-sign with the Clippers because it wasn’t worth the headache.
It’s almost as if Donald Sterling never left.
Have to wonder what Chris Paul, Blake Griffin and DeAndre Jordan think about all of this.
