The NBA season is more than halfway over and Chris Paul is in fact still with the Oklahoma City Thunder.
The 34-year-old has said that neither he nor his agent has requested a trade this season, according to Sports Illustrated. Paul has also emphasized his desire to win an NBA championship during his career.
But it seems that winning a title doesn’t outweigh his desire to get paid.
According to SI, Paul said “No chance. That’s not happening. Nope,” when asked if he’d be open to waiving his $44.2 million option for the 2021–2022 season.
The hefty option in his contract is something that SI reports have been an obstacle for teams potentially interested in Paul.
But, it doesn’t sound like that’s a problem for Paul.
