Fuck D’Antoni. . .
One of the most dysfunctional contenders in the NBA is back in the headlines this weekend. According to ESPN’s Stephen A. Smith, Chris Paul officially wants out of Houston. The Rockets, blew a major opportunity to defeat the Warriors last month in the conference semi-finals, as Golden State was without their guy, Kevin Durant.
It got to the point, where CP3 and James Harden had a large blowup in the locker-room, which was a regular occurrence between the two if things went wrong. Houston GM, Daryl Morey, initially debunked rumors of Chris Paul leaving the team, telling a fan on Instagram that everything had been worked out.
Well, as we pointed out earlier, it’s looking like CP3 could be forcing himself off the team soon. The 34-year-old is due a whopping $123 million over the next three seasons and will be unlikely to find a trading partner – unless it’s the Chicago Bulls, like we’ve heard weeks prior.
Our belief is that he’ll somehow end up in Los Angeles after being bought out by the Rockets. Since President Paul of the NBA knows how to allegedly work the system (see: 2000s GOAT James), look for something to quickly pick up if this is indeed true by ESPN.
The #BullsNation trade could be revisited if Houston throws in more assets for #LauriMarkkanenhttps://t.co/o69m5I3sQS
