Chris Paul cares not for salary-cap gymnastics. He’s trying to recruit LeBron James to the Houston Rockets anyway. Consider what Adrian Wojnarowski said during ESPN’s Monday draft special (via NBC Sports’ Dan Feldman): Chris is going to return there.

Lance Stephenson’s glorious return to the Indiana Pacers (cue the “I’m Coming Home” song we’ve all heard a million times) is less than a week old and it has already brought so much intrigue, a controversial garbage time layup that drew the ire of the Raptors, twitter battles, a comparison of his Pacers return to [...]
