Chris Paul: NBA Players Don't Talk Money in Locker Rooms, It's 'Uncomfortable'

The tradability, or lack thereof, of Oklahoma City Thunder point guard Chris Paul, based on his contract, has been a major point of conversation this offseason.

The 34-year-old is set to make a total of $124 million over the next three seasons, a huge number that may be tough for the Thunder to trade this year without giving up significant assets in return.

One place that conversation likely won't be happening, however, is in locker rooms around the NBA. As Paul told Clevis Murray of The Athletic, players don't routinely talk finances in that setting:

"I think the reason why I'm so passionate about this is because I'm finishing up my 14th year in the NBA, and I've been around long enough to realize that guys in our league, we talk about everything in the locker room except for finance, except for money.
