Charlie Pallilo: Chris Paul is not worth a full-length max contract

The NBA Finals are upon us and for the fourth-straight year the Warriors are matched up against LeBron and the Cavaliers. Charlie doesn't expect the Cavs to pull off the upset, but when you have LeBron James, there's always a chance.
Houston should definitely be looking to bring back Chris Paul this offseason, but not if it requires paying him a full-length max contract. A 5-year deal for a 33-year-old player is not something the Rockets should commit to, if they're smart. And we all know Daryl Morey is smart.
The Houston Texans came into this draft with many anticipating they would trade up to address their need on the offensive line. Instead, the Texans elected to trade back to pick No. 34 after agreeing to a deal with the Giants.
The Texans also receive pick number 99, and a 2026 third-round selection.

When Ohio State's offensive lineman Donovan Jackson and Texas receiver Matthew Golden went off the board right in front of them, the Texans decided to go with a contingency plan, it seems.
We'll have to wait until Friday night to see what the Texans do with their picks.
