Paul is the latest NBA star to take shots at the Philly exec.

Chris Paul has claimed that Daryl Morey promised not to trade him to OKC in 2019. "Daryl call me. He said ‘I was just calling you to make sure you didn’t wanna go to OKC.’ I was like, ‘No, why I don’ moved 15 people to Houston.’ And he was like, ‘Okay I was just making sure. I would never trade you to somewhere you didn’t want to go.' I’m at the house chilling and next thing you know [the alert] said that I was getting traded [to OKC]. And then my phone started ringing and it was Daryl. Daryl was like, ‘Hey man, it just moves so fast.’ I said, ‘It’s all good I just want you to tell me one thing. You said you wasn’t going to trade me, right?’ He said, ‘Yeah I said that but–’ I said, ‘That’s all I needed to know.’”

Paul was sent to the Thunder along with picks in exchange for picks and Russell Westbrook. 18 months later, in November 2020, Paul was on the move again. This time he was the core piece in a massive player trade that sent him to Phoenix. Of course, Paul now finds himself in the Bay Area after Phoenix traded him to Washington, who then traded him to Golden State.

North West's Basketball Skills Have Fans Revisiting Kanye's Chris Paul Claims

Meanwhile, a recent TikTok by North West showing off some impressive dribbling ability has been met with a wave of hilarious reactions from fans. While many people were impressed by West's ball handling, more than a few commenters couldn't help but crack some jokes. "CP3 a good trainer yea," one fan wrote. The short comment refers to claims that Kanye West made in 2022 that Kim Kardashian had cheated on him with Chris Paul. No proof that the rumor was true ever emerged, but it is one that has stuck with fans.

Another avenue of comments surrounded North's apparent readiness to join the NBA. Many fans commented that she had better off-hand control than the Celtics' Jaylen Brown. Meanwhile, several others said that North could start for the Pistons already. However, of course, there were a few haters on hand to dismiss North's ability. The full video of North's impressive skills can be found below. What do you think of her game? Let us know in the comments.
