MANILA, Philippines – After opting out of the final year of his contract, Chris Paul of the Los Angeles Clippers has agreed to be traded to the Houston Rockets.
According to league reporter Adrian Wojnarowski, the 32-year-old Paul will be shipped to Houston in exchange for newly-crowned NBA Hustle awardee Patrick Beverley, Sixth Man of the Year candidate Lou Williams, Sam Dekker, and a 2018 first-round pick.
Paul had played for 6 seasons with the Clippers and will now join Most Valuable Player runner-up James Harden to form an exciting backcourt duo.
I just want to point out that both Chris Paul and James Harden love to have the ball. Like, all the time.
