Chris Paul explains why he rejected 'true' trade to Warriors in 2011

The chatter surrounding a dead trade from 2011 won't die.

Oklahoma City Thunder point guard Chris Paul was a guest on Uninterrupted's WRTS podcast Monday night, and he was asked about the story in which he brought down a potential trade from the Charlotte Hornets to the Warriors in 2011.

"Yeah, I remember it. True story," Paul told Maverick Carter and Paul Rivera. "Yep. that happened with a few teams. I actually never wanted to come out west. I'm born and raised on the East Coast, so I never was crazy about [Los Angeles] and all that until I finally got out here and lived out here.
