Chris Paul Sells His $8 Million Houston Mansion

ByJoseph Gibsonon January 22, 2021inArticles›Celebrity Homes

Chris Paul of the Phoenix Suns has become a part-time residential real estate baron over the last few years, having bought and sold several properties in both Texas and California. The latest is his 10,000-square-foot estate in Houston for an undisclosed amount, as reported by the Los Angeles Times, a home he first listed for sale back in the summer of 2019 for $8.3 million.

The home’s list price saw three separate price drops over the next year, having most recently been listed for $7.2 million. That’s not too much higher than the home’s last list price before it was acquired by Paul in the first place, in the spring of 2018, so the assumption is that he probably didn’t make too much profit in the deal – not that he’s likely to lose much sleep over that as one of the highest-paid players in the NBA.

As for the house itself, it’s got five bedrooms and nine bathrooms, located in the Greater Uptown area of Houston. Here’s how the home was described in official marketing materials from Compass Houston Real Estate:

“Picturesque modernism partnered with Old World Mediterranean is the essence of this spectacular home. Courtyard laced w/olive trees and koi pond introduces the Bayou Woods estate. Steel framed Crittal windows allow a wealth of natural light to overtake the residence imparting breathtaking views of the limestone edge pool, fire pit, pool house and ¾ acre grounds. Texas Limestone, 200 year old farmhouse oak beams and French imported clay roof tiles, add layers of character to the Lauren Rottet designed home. Double-sided marble fireplace unites the living room & dining room that is accompanied by 750 bottle temperature controlled wine case. Family room interconnects with the view-filled BKFT room and kitchen that features stainless steel countertops, top tier Miele appliances, concealed 48″ Subzero refrigerator & marble-top island. 4 ensuite bedrooms + divinely appointed living quarters; all have a private terrace. Library, study, game room & enormous theatre.”

After Acquiring Chris Paul And Locking Up James Harden, Carmelo Anthony Is The Next Target For The Houston Rockets

The Houston Rockets have been busy this offseason, trading for Chris Paul and signing James Harden to a record-setting contract extension . They also signed wing P.J. Tucker to a four-year deal, adding additional depth to their bench.

There’s still one more major move they want to make: getting Carmelo Anthony .

Multiple sources around the league, including Adrian Wojnarowski and Brian Windhorst of ESPN, have said the Rockets are turning their “full attention” to Anthony. He’ll waive his no-trade clause for the right team – which is reportedly either the Rockets or the Cleveland Cavaliers.

The Cavs are the frontrunners to land Anthony thanks to the eight-time All-Star’s friendship with LeBron James . Cleveland also has a bit more flexibility with salary, though both teams have a lot of money on the books.

Houston, in fact, is already over the salary cap. Anthony is due $54.2 million over the next two seasons, which includes an $8.1 million “trade kicker.” Anthony could waive part or all of the trade kicker; if he doesn’t, he’ll make $34.4 million next season. The Rockets would have to give up an equal amount of salaries in any trade.

That’s a lot of work Rockets GM Daryl Morey has to do to make an Anthony trade work. Ryan Anderson is a prime candidate to be dealt, but with three years and $60 million remaining on his contract, few teams – the Knicks included – want to actually take his contract. Trevor Ariza is likely a more appealing trade chip for the Knicks since he’s only owed $7.4 million before his contract expires next offseason.

Even trading both of them would require the Rockets to shed about $8 million in additional salary, assuming Anthony keeps his trade kicker. Also working against the Rockets is that they don’t have their own 2018 first-round draft pick, which was traded to the Clippers in the deal for Paul.

Finally, the Rockets have to consider Anthony’s relationship with the team’s current head coach, Mike D’Antoni . D’Antoni was in New York for two seasons but resigned midway through the 2011-12 season. That was in part due to major differences with Anthony.
