Daryl Morey has just pulled off the inevitable. He found a taker for 34-year-old Chris Paul‘s remaining contract of 3 years and $124 million. Under that deal, Paul would have been 36 and making 44 million. In my eyes, that is tied with John Wall for the worst contract in the league. Somehow, Morey was able to flip it, along with some draft picks, and bring add a second former MVP to the Rockets’ roster. Furthermore, I’m convinced this was the best trade of the NBA off-season. I’ll compare this trade to the trades of Anthony Davis, Paul George, Kevin Durant and Kemba Walker, as they were the only other All-NBA players to be moved this off-season.
