If Chris Paul wants the best chance of competing with the Golden State Warriors next season and beyond, where should he sign as a free agent this summer?

ESPN reported on Friday that Paul and teammate Blake Griffin have notified the LA Clippers that they plan to decline their 2017-18 player options and become unrestricted free agents. That doesn't necessarily mean they intend to leave -- they can make far more money next season simply by re-signing with the Clippers as free agents -- but it gives Paul the opportunity to look around.

I've already taken a look at how the San Antonio Spurs could make room for Paul and how they might project with him at point guard. Now, with the Houston Rockets reportedly planning a run at Paul, let's run through the same exercise with the Rockets and project how the Clippers might look with and without Blake Griffin.
