Houston “Rockets” guard Chris Paul, multi-time all-star, president of the NBA Players Association and pain in the assholes personality has gone to Houston management and demanded a trade. CP3 and The Beard can’t get along in Cowtown.
Just last summer former owner Leslie Alexander signed Paul, then 33 years of age, to a four year contract. Paul’s contract gets traded with him and over the next three years when he is 34, 35, and 36 years young Paul will earn the following:
2019-20, $38,506,482
2020-21, $41,358,814
2021-22, $44,211,146
All of which is guaranteed against a) injury b) declining skill c) not feeling like playing with James Harden.
Which is how new “Rockets” owner Tilman Fertitta has felt ever since buying the team; and how team General Manager Daryl Morey surely feels with a player on an untradeable contract demanding a trade.
As for those cognoscenti who forecast Houston a favorite to win the NBA title in 2019/20, please mail your cognoscenti membership badges into headquarters ASAP.
