There were reports that free agents Dwight Howard and Chris Paul would be the latest to team up. According to Metta World Peace that’s false. Read more after the jump.
On Friday, ESPN’s Chris Broussard reported that Howard and Paul have been in consistent contact to discuss the possibility of becoming teammates next season.
Metta World Peace says the two are not going to team up. Metta made his comments on “Jay Mohr Sports” on FOX Sports Radio, which was guest hosted by Ben Maller and Kirk Morrison on Friday.
“It’s not true,” World Peace said of the report. “I spoke to both of them. Dwight Howard and Chris Paul were just in the Bahamas doing the Macarena together. They actually don’t want to play together. That’s it. They’re not playing together.
“Those guys, they’re competitors. They don’t want to play on the same team. They don’t need a super team; all they need is themselves.”
We’ll see what happens.
