Opting into his last year of his current contract and being traded.  Wow.

After Chris Paul agreed to opt-in on contract, Clippers are trading  All-Star guard to the Houston Rockets, league sources tell @TheVertical

At least it's trade and they are getting value back in return. Maybe it will help them keep afloat for that pick.

Too bad the 2019 Clippers pick is 1-14 protected. Looks like a sure lottery pick

If he was leaving anyway, that's not a terrible return.  Doc clearly doesn't like rebuilding.

How does this affect Paul's ability to secure a 5 year max deal next summer?  How old is he right now?

No. Chris Paul was going to leave NOW for nothing in return.

  • Peace it's a board. We all will never agree.
Interesting.  Lowry is still out there. Doc is going to be gone soon, IMO.  Jerry West has a plan. You can be sure.
