Lmao, rockets could have signed him but opted to not by telling him to opt in, also you can't say ( trade him at the dead line) that's just dumb. I trust morey more than a random poster on CF.
I'm sure morey held talks with chris Paul in regards to this, also you can't just say "let's trade him and get randle fir him at the deadline. You roll to the playoffs with him and see where at you never know we might have melo by then too so it's easier to creat their super team here rather then build it somewhere else.
They already have one of the four banana boat members and James Harden. Why wouldn't they want it to happen here?
They are giving him a big press conference, full red carpet roll out. That's tough to do right now with summer league situation.
Somebody's feelings were hurt AUSTIN RIVERS ON CP3: 'EXPECT FIREWORKS' ... When Clips Play Rockets http://www.tmz.com/2017/07/07/austin-rivers-clippers-rockets-chris-paul/ Spoiler "Business and basketball are two different things. They say don't take it personal, but everybody does." -- Austin Rivers on Chris Paul. The Clippers star was at LAX when it kept it 100 about the situation involving his former teammate -- telling TMZ Sports he's happy for the guy, but it's gonna get intense when they face the Houston Rockets next season. "You saw what happened when the Warriors played the Thunder this year. There was a lot of emotion in there." "I don't think it'll be quite like that but it'll definitely be a lot of fireworks that game if I had to take a guess." The NBA is expected to release the official schedule sometime next month. Can't wait!
Austin Rivers Says There Will Be 'Fireworks' When Clippers Play Rockets Austin Rivers told TMZ Sports to expect "fireworks" when the Los Angeles Clippers play the Houston Rockets next season after Chris Paul joined James Harden and Co. following six seasons in Hollywood. "Business and basketball are two different things," Rivers said. "They say don't take it personal, but everybody does." Rivers also compared the Clippers' eventual showdown with Paul and the Rockets to when Kevin Durant made his return trip to Oklahoma City last year with the Golden State Warriors. "You saw what happened when the Warriors played the Thunder this year. There was a lot of emotion in there. "I don't think it'll be quite like that but it'll definitely be a lot of fireworks that game if I had to take a guess."
