Report: Chris Paul Demanding a Trade from the Rockets, Relationship with James Harden “Unsalvageable”
It sounds like another big name might be on the move this offseason in the NBA, as Houston Rockets star Chris Paul is not happy with his situation with the team, and Yahoo sports terms the relationship between he and James Harden “unsalvageable.”
Yahoo’s Chris Haynes states that Paul has indeed demanded a trade, saying it’s either ‘him or me’ referring to Harden.
This demand came after the team fell in the second-round of the postseason to the Golden State Warriors in a six-game setback.
The backcourt mates went nearly two months without speaking to each other during the season, sources said, creating a tenuous environment for teammates and everyone involved with the franchise.
Harden hasn’t returned Paul’s repeated attempts at communicating this offseason, sources said, after a year in which the pair repeatedly got under each other’s skin with petty acts in practices and games.
Paul has been known to clash with teammates during his career, most notably with the Los Angeles Clippers before being traded to Houston in the summer of 2017. Up until this season, his production ranked among the best at his position in NBA history, but he’s had to curtail his style while acclimating to Harden’s pace.
“There’s no respect at all, on either side,” a source told Yahoo Sports. “They need to get away from one another. Chris doesn’t respect James’ standing in the league, and James doesn’t respect the work Chris has put in to this point.”
It would be interesting to see what teams are willing to give up for Paul, who would be a great fit with the new duo of Anthony Daivs and LeBron James in Los Angeles.
The Rockets could get quite a bounty for Harden who won the MVP last season, but likely would be a lot more willing to move Paul despite his stock not being nearly as high.
