Social media saw lots of reaction Wednesday from one of the day’s big NBA stories — the Clippers trading Chris Paul to the Houston Rockets for Patrick Beverley, Lou Williams, Sam Dekker, Montrezl Harrell and others.
According to The Times’ Broderick Turner, Paul informed the Clippers during a meeting Tuesday that he was planning to sign with the Rockets as a free agent, but agreed instead to exercise the opt-in clause of his contract, clearing the way for the team to ship him to the Rockets.
Some of the reaction came from the players involved.
