What influence did Rockets All-Star James Harden and your former New Orleans Hornets teammates Trevor Ariza and Bobby Brown, both with the Rockets now, have on your decision? They had somewhat of a role. Obviously, the relationship with Bobby and Trevor … [Ariza and I] had one season in New Orleans where we got close. Bobby did the same thing. It’s basketball, too. I don’t know if it was just watching and seeing them play. What was James’ influence on your decision? Just how excited he would be about the opportunity. It showed a lot of selflessness. The fact that it’s all about winning. We talked, obviously, he had a great year last year. Everything was about winning games. … He just said he wants to win. Are you guys co-point guards? How do you make it work? How do two All-Stars so great with the ball make it work together? I don’t know. You just do it. You just find a way. The San Antonio Spurs reportedly were high on your list of prospective teams. What can you say about your interest in the Spurs? I wouldn’t even know what to say. The Spurs are the Spurs. How good do you think the Rockets can be? That’s completely up to us. I’m excited about getting there and getting integrated into the city. It’s an exciting time. What do you know about Houston, and what are your plans there off the court? First things first, I have to get there and figure out where I’m going to live. It’s kind of unexpected for us. I’m excited. I don’t know much. I am excited about finding out more. Obviously, I’ve played against Houston a number of times, but I’ve never spent real time there. [Former Clippers teammate] Brandon Bass got married there a couple of years ago. The All-Star Game has been there twice. Other than that … When are you going to Houston? I got AAU tournaments going on with my young kids. My wife has been down there trying to find a house. But as soon as possible we want to get there so we can figure out school for the kids and stuff like that. Any calls or texts from other NBA players that stood out after you chose Houston? ’Bron [James], Melo [Anthony] and D [Wade] obviously hit me about how happy they were for me. Guys like Rudy Gay, Jarrett Jack reached out. I’ve talked to D.J. [Jordan] a lot. That means a lot. He’s from Houston. What can you say about Melo possibly being a teammate if the New York Knicks trade him to Houston or make him a free agent by buying him out? Man, sit back and wait.
“It had nothing to do with who was in L.A., but more to do with who was in Houston,” Paul said. I sit back and laugh at Wekko
I don't understand how this can be, according to Wekko no star would EVER want to come and play with Harden who ball hogs and plays no defense. According to him, the Bulls should've been the one getting star free agents even if they blew things up, not Houston. What is going on?
