Crazy amounts of talent on that team but a trash fit.

Whaaaat CP3 going to the rockets... Are they going to be GSW now? They still need an elite big man... Trading for who though?

Paul in Houston is kind of weird. How does he fit with Harden? I get that he's still a huge talent, but Houston really needs frontcourt/wing depth more than an additional primary ball handler.

Does this guarantee Redick?

Clips lose Paul, Griffin and Redick, bring in Beverly, Lou Will and Dekker. Man, talk about a downgrade. Time to move DeAndre and begin the tank.

chris paul is an idiot. why does he choose to share the ball with harden instead of bein the main point god in san antonio? he has to have a very good relationship with the beard to understand this a lil bit..

and yeah, i think this move initiate a clippers collapse. blake will sign elsewhere, and we are for sure the better choice for redick

Well, I miss the bad Clippers.

If the Clips are tanking, what would it take to pry Beverley out of there? Do they want to dump those terrible Crawford/Rivers contracts?

And how long until we hear the DJ to BOS rumors start?

I wouldn't mind snagging Beverly from them. I think they need bodies though, depth was never their strong suit and they just lost 3 starters. Maybe we can flip them Okafor plus spare parts/pick.

I would take Jamal Crawford tbh. I think he could replace Stauskas rather easily

I actually have no idea why the Rockets would do this trade. I feel like Chris Paul provides little off ball. Harden also isn't utilized correctly off ball.

Gotta wonder what else Morey has in mind. Just adding CP3 feels incomplete, I suspect they have something else in mind to follow up and there is a big man glut out there right now for them to aim at.

Yeah I don't really like this trade for the Rockets, sure they get alot of talent in Paul but him and Harden just don't seem like they will work out together. I guess you go after talent, and worry about the rest later in this scenario.

The Rockets want to trade for PG, too.

Harden and Paul are amazing players and have incredible bball IQ, but I don't think they will fit together.

Oh man, I hope that happens. They would effectively ruin the team they built around Harden.
