Ahead of Friday night's 126-103 win over the Knicks, Thunder point guard Chris Paul was asked about trade rumors linking him to New York.
“They’re trying to take attention away from that Spike Lee stuff,” Paul said, per the New York Daily News' Stefan Bondy.
The rumors, which were first reported on Thursday by long-time Knicks beat writer Frank Isola, said that New York was "gathering intel" on the Thunder point guard and that Knicks "could make a run at him this summer."
Paul wrote Do the Right Thing on the sneakers he wore during Friday's game as an homage to one of Lee's most famous films.
