Chris Paul - Why isn't this being brought up?

[DeeMeds]

I know we all remember it.

In the summer of 11', the Celtics were willing to trade Rondo and probably Jeff Green for Chris Paul. Chris Paul did not want to come to Boston. It all kind of got forgotten in the Stern veto that overshadowed it a week later.

CP3 didn't see the allure of Doc Rivers.

Now he's changed his tune.

"I’m so excited to play for him ... Words can’t describe it. Doc is amazing. Everything that has happened doesn’t automatically translate into wins but it gives you an opportunity to win so I’m excited about the process."

Or this quote about potential free agents to Steven A. Smith (hate the guy, but at least he asks direct questions)

"You put Doc Rivers here, and who doesn't want to come play for the Clippers."

Dude is full of it, no?

Coming to Boston and playing for Doc are not the same thing.

Allegedly he didn't want to come here because our key guys were older and be didn't want to go through rebuilding through his prime... Like we are now.
