Chris Paul (http://espn.go.com/nba/player/_/id/2779/chris-paul)'s representatives have told teams not to even bother pursuing the point guard when free agency begins at 12:01 a.m. ET Monday because he will re-sign with the Los Angeles Clippers (http://espn.go.com/nba/team/_/name/lac/los-angeles-clippers), according to league sources.
Paul's decision to stay with the Clippers is no surprise, but the latest word from his camp has ended whatever small hope opposing teams had of luring the All-Star, sources said.
Doc Rivers becoming the Clippers' new head coach and senior vice president of basketball operations earlier this week assured that Paul will remain in Los Angeles, according to sources.
The chances of Paul leaving the Clippers were slim even before Rivers was named coach, but sources said he had at least entertained the thought of going to the Atlanta Hawks (http://espn.go.com/nba/team/_/name/atl/atlanta-hawks)with Dwight Howard (http://espn.go.com/nba/player/_/id/2384/dwight-howard), who also will enter free agency.
