Chris Paul Suggests Clippers Also Were Ready For Change

Chris Paul explained his decision to leave the Los Angeles Clippers for the Houston Rockets.

"I feel like the last six years we’ve had a great run," said Paul. "I felt like it was not only a good time for change for me, but for the team, too. Everyone says, ‘We get killed. We can’t get there. We just can’t get over the hurdle.’ I felt like it was time for change."

Paul suggested the Clippers also were interested in making a change.

"I don’t think we need to get into all that stuff," said Paul when asked about how he told the Clippers he wanted to go to the Rockets. "We met. We talked. We both agreed it was time for a change."

Paul was also asked about the possibility of Carmelo Anthony joining him with the Rockets.

'Man, sit back and wait."
