Paul did not forgive Feltita, so he chose to join the Clippers instead of the Rockets

This summer, Paul chose to sign the Clippers for $3.6 million a year, but he did not go to the Rockets, who are stronger and need more point guard. According to people familiar with the matter, this is because Paul has not forgiven Rockets boss Fertita.

Paul joined the Rockets in the summer of 2017 and fought with the Warriors in seven playoffs in 2018. In key games, Paul injured his thigh and Houston was eliminated. Subsequently, in an interview with the media, Fertita made unfriendly remarks about Paul, saying that Paul's annual salary of $38.5 million is simply ridiculous.

In the summer of 2019, the Rockets sent Paul to the Thunder to exchange for Westbrook. From then on, the bond between Paul and the Rockets was concluded.

In the following six seasons, Paul began his wandering career, playing for the Thunder, Warriors, and Spurs, until he returned to the Clippers this summer.

Paul has made great contributions to Houston for two seasons with the Rockets. If it weren't for a thigh strain, he could have defeated the "Five-Star Warriors" in 2018 and might have won the championship.

Now things have changed, the Rockets are not the original Rockets, and Paul is no longer the Paul of the past.

Bless them!
