NBA Trade Rumors: Daryl Morey’s history with Chris Paul could make him a target for Philadelphia 76ers
Daryl Morey had previously traded for Chris Paul as the general manager of the Houston Rockets. The monster deal back in 2017 saw the Rockets send seven players to LA Clippers for CP3. Morey wasn’t too keen on trading Paul to OKC Thunder either last summer. All these factors could see the Philadelphia 76ers target Chris Paul.
Tim Bontemps discussed a hypothetical Chris Paul trade during the Brian Windhorst & The Hoop Collective Podcast. Bontemps suggested the following:
Brian Windhorst then went on to suggest that the Philadelphia 76ers could also return OKC Thunder’s 2020 draft pick this year that’s owned by them.
Chris Paul a suitable option for Philadelphia 76ers
Looking beyond his humongous contract, Chris Paul would bring a lot to the table for Philadelphia 76ers. Before anything else, Paul would help the Sixers build some chemistry, something that they desperately lacked last season.
Paul already has a long-standing relationship with Doc Rivers and acquiring him would allow Ben Simmons to play at power forward. It would result in a heftier wage bill but the Philadelphia 76ers would be better-off after a Chris Paul trade.
