“I never asked for a trade,” Paul said. “I never demanded a trade.”

Paul was much more effusive about that [Go Hoop Day] cause, but he briefly addressed speculation that he wants to leave the Rockets and that there is a rift with star backcourt mate James Harden.

“It’s cool,” Paul said. “I’m good.”
