Chris Paul signed a four-year contract worth more than $150 million with the Houston Rockets last summer, and the former All-Star was expected to spend his remaining prime years competing for a championship alongside James Harden. However, Paul was sent to the Thunder as part of the trade for Westbrook after reportedly falling out with his backcourt partner.

Paul is still among the NBA's best point guards, but the former All-Star turned 34 earlier this year and is coming off one of the worst seasons of his career. The Thunder are also keen to field the recently acquired Shai Gilgeous-Alexander at point guard, and Paul himself is unlikely to want to spend the end of his prime years with an out of contention team.

Ultimately, Paul's presence in Oklahoma City isn't doing much good, and it is unlikely that he will see out the season with the Thunder.
