Chris Paul feels he got ‘stabbed in the back’ with trade from Rockets

Authored by msn.com and submitted by Deadwood-Dick

Chris Paul was sent to the Thunder this offseason, and the move doesn’t seem to sit well with him. The point guard recently sat down with Kevin Hart, and the comedian asked Paul if any trade he’s been involved in has felt like he was “stabbed in the back” and Paul’s respond was noteworthy.

“Absolutely,” Paul said of having the feeling of being stabbed in the back (via Dan Feldman of NBC Sports). “This last situation was one of them. The GM there in Houston, he don’t owe me nothing. You know what I mean? He may tell me one thing but do another thing. But you just understand that that’s what it is.”

Back in June, GM Daryl Morey told the media that he would not trade Paul and ended up dealing him to OKC for Russell Westbrook and a pair of first-rounders later in the summer. Paul has been traded three times in his career (four if you include the Lakers veto).

What is Morey supposed to say? "Hey CP3 I'm trying to trade you if it doesn't work out you still wanna be friends?" or "Fight for freedom, stand with Hong Kong"?
