According to recent reports, Los Angeles Clippers guard Chris Paul will be joining the Rockets, who offered Patrick Beverly, Lou Williams, Sam Decker and a first round pick next year in exchange for the All-Star.
Paul already told the Clippers he planned to leave the team for free agency because he wanted to play on the Rockets alongside James Harden.
Not willing to lose their power player for nothing, the Clippers offered to help Paul join the Rockets through a trade deal.
Paul agreed to the player option final year on his contract to allow the deal to proceed.
Reports suggest the Rockets are also seeking Indiana Pacers star Paul George to add to their powerhouse.
NBC tweeted the trade deal as part of their Trade Report.
