Last week, 40-year-old NBA veteran Chris Paul was finally traded away by the Clippers, after being on the roster but playing in no games for the last couple of months.
Paul is one of the best point guards the game has ever seen, but even though a competitive team like the Raptors traded for him, he won't be a part of their roster going forward.
The Raptors made their final decision on Paul's future on Friday.
Why did the Raptors waive Chris Paul?
ESPN's Shams Charania reported on Friday afternoon that the team decided to waive the veteran guard, about a week after acquiring him.
This didn't shock many, as the original trade for Paul was done for financial reasons on Toronto's end.

The franchise making this move shows their respect towards Paul, as they decided to waive him, allowing him to sign with a new team as a free agent.
It was revealed before this season that Paul was likely entering his final season in the NBA, so this could be it for Paul when it comes to chasing a championship.
He'll now have the chance to sign somewhere to chase the one feat he hasn't gotten in his career yet, something he wouldn't have been able to do with the Clippers, after there was a falling out between the two sides earlier in the season.
Paul and several other players who have been waived/bought out recently will survey their options over the next few weeks, with the postseason on the horizon.
