The Houston Rockets’ entire roster is up for grabs with the right trade deal (as are the team’s future draft picks), according to ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski.
The NBA insider tweeted Wednesday the following: “In calls to front offices, Houston GM Daryl Morey is showing an aggressive desire to improve roster with all players and picks available in talks. Hard to imagine James Harden scenario, but the rest under contract – perhaps even Chris Paul – could be moved in the right deal.”
Paul is 34 years old with three years and $124 million left on his contract with the Rockets, including a player option in the 2021-2022 season that is worth nearly $45 million. Paul played in 58 regular season games this season, averaging 15.6 points per game with 8.2 assists per game. CP3 shot 42 percent from the floor and 35 percent from three-point range.
The Rockets were bounced from the NBA Playoffs by the Golden State Warriors in this year’s Western Conference Semifinals (4-2), making it the fourth time in five seasons that the Warriors knocked the Rockets out.
