In a recent appearance on Dwyane Wade’s podcast, The Why with Dwyane Wade, Chris Paul revealed a twist in the trade saga involving him and Daryl Morey, former GM of the Houston Rockets.
“I go to the gym to work out and Daryl calls me… He says, ‘I was just calling to make sure you didn’t want to go to OKC,’ and I said, ‘No, because I didn’t move 15 people to Houston.’ He says, ‘Okay, I just wanted to make sure.’ He said: “I would never trade you to a place you don’t want to go because you chose to come to us from the Clippers.”
“I chose to go to Houston from L.A. I was at home relaxing, I was on the phone with my wife Jada, and the next thing I knew I was traded to OKC. And then my phone started ringing and it was Daryl calling. He says: ‘Hey, man, things are moving so fast.’ I told him, ‘It’s okay, I just want you to tell me one thing. You said you weren’t going to trade me, right?’ He said, ‘Yes, I said that, but…’ I said, ‘That’s all I wanted to know’ “, Chris Paul recounted about the affair that featured him and Daryl Morey.
