According to Kevin O’Connor of The Ringer, the Houston Rockets tried moving Chris Paul to the New York Knicks for a salary dump, which the Knicks declined. It’s hard to know the exact truthfulness of the source, as the Rockets (and Paul) have been adamantly denying any trade rumors.
It’s no surprise the Knicks would be disinterested in acquiring Paul. Chris Paul is coming off a season in which he averaged 15.6 points per game with a field goal percentage of 41.9%, both of which are career lows for Paul. He did, though, average 8.2 assists per game, which was good for No.
