Shortly after he reported on the trade of Russell Westbrook for Chris Paul and draft picks, ESPN Senior NBA Insider Adrian Wojnarowski said that Miami was a “possibility” for Paul.
Houston hoped to find third-team destination preferable to Chris Paul, but ultimately leaves it OKC to execute next step once Presti confers w/ CP3 agent Leon Rose. Miami remains possibility for Paul (3 years, $124M) -- and OKC obviously has picks to incentivize deal, if needed.
