Paul studied film on Hampton over the summer, he said, when Paul was traded to the Thunder and saw he would be facing the Breakers in preseason. “R.J. looks good, man,” Paul said after the game Thursday. “He’s very talented, and I see why all the scouts and GMs came to see him play.”
Adrian Wojnarowski: “When Oklahoma City got him this summer, their plan was to try to flip him somewhere else. They hoped Miami would be willing to talk about a deal and that never got anywhere. But maybe the Heat get off to a bad start… Maybe they look at this again. And other teams.”
Tim MacMahon: The Thunder haven’t released revised heights, but I was told that Chris Paul measured in at 6’0″ and small change. So he won’t be among the players around the NBA who are suddenly shorter.
Chris Paul, the president of the NBA’s players’ association, said he isn’t very well informed about the league’s growing friction with its business partners in China in part because of his focus on the Oklahoma City Thunder’s training camp. “I don’t know but so much about it right now,” Paul said of the situation, which began with a tweet from Houston Rockets general manager Daryl Morey in support of the anti-government protesters in Hong Kong. “I’ll try to find out what’s going on.”
After seeing the way things ended with Chris Paul, what was it like to see the city go through the same thing all over again with Anthony Davis pushing his way out last year? David West: I felt like AD did all he could for the city. Obviously, he could’ve went out on different terms, but it’s tough, man. I can really say, New Orleans is one of the cities that if you love them, they’ll love you back. The guys there now just have to embrace it. I think most guys see it as they have a 4-6 year window to win. It doesn’t matter where they are, once they reach the end of that window, it’s time to move on.
