Pacific Notes: Clippers, Paul, Malone, Warriors

Items out of the Pacific as the Clippers decide whether to exercise Vinny Del Negro's option for next season..

  • Clippers guard Chris Paul has Warriors assistant Mike Malone on his short-list of preferred replacements for Del Negro, a source told Eric Pincus of HoopsWorld.  Malone was a part of the Hornets' staff during Paul's time in New Orleans.
  • Matt Steinmetz of CSNBayArea.com wonders what the Warriors will do if Malone lands a head coaching job elsewhere.
  • Even though many have speculated that Suns swingman Josh Childress could be an amnesty candidate, the 29-year-old is hopeful that there could still be a role for him with the club, writes Paul Coro of The Arizona Republic.  Childress is set to earn $21MM across the next three seasons, including his 2014/15 player option.
