Daryl Morey on Chris Paul's free agency: He’ll be back. He’ll be back 100 percent
CP3 will be unrestricted free agent from July 1
Chris Paul will become unrestricted free agent from July 1. But the Rockets are sure he will be back with the franchise on a new deal.
Per Houston Chronicle, Rockets general manager Daryl Morey and coach Mike D’Antoni had their meetings with star guard Chris Paul and came away speaking of Paul’s free agent plans as if he had already reached his decision. During the season, Paul had said, “That’s what happened when the trade happened.”
“He took [the loss to Golden State] the hardest, I thought, because he knew if he hadn’t had the unfortunate injury, he’s dragging us the last (way to the Finals),” Morey said Wednesday.
“He’s been there before at those moments and got injured sometimes. Yeah, he took it hard. But you know what, he’ll be back. He’ll be back 100 percent and we’re ready to go.”
