Houston Rockets making moves! About to acquire Chris Paul and rumored to be going after Paul George. Although the deal is not yet official, it seems to be in the books. Last week, Paul announced that he would be opting out of his player option contract once free agency starts July 1. The deal is believed to send Chris Paul to the Rockets in exchange for Patrick Beverly, Lou Williams, Sam Dekker, DeAndre Liggins, Darrun Hilliard, Montrezl Harrell, Kyle Wiltjer, a top-three protected 2018 first round pick, and $661,000 back to the Clippers.
This is huge for the league, especially if the Rockets go after Paul George as well. They are truly making moves to compete in the Western Conference with the super-team Golden State Wariors.
