I'm curious how Paul will run in that high octane offense. His great TO/Assist ratio should help mitigate some bad turnovers the Rockets had last year, but can Paul stay healthy? With that team, Mike better watch his minutes a lot.

It's going to be Lebron CP3 Harden and George in Houston isn't it.

I honestly want to see if Houston will do much better this season, they lost depth and Harden CP3 duo as everyone said too ball dominant.

They can trade for Melo all they want. Ill love him taking possessions away from Harden and CP3

but they didn't really lose depth... they lost Dekker who doesn't play much... Lou Williams and Bev who was replaced by a much better player in CP3... So they really only lost Lou Williams and that isn't exactly that much of a loss of depth.

They should trade Harden Now...

Houston would be a SERIOUS threat then...

Long wing defenders are important

Harden was the reason Paul wanted to join them.

not a fan of this for either team. Harden needs the ball in his hands at all times and so does CP3. Dont know how this will work.

I hate this trade for both teams! Doesn't make much sense for either in my eyes.

It's gonna be weird seeing CP3 in a Rockets uniform. Could it be a possibility that he talked with LeBron about playing together in Houston?

So this is one thing we can rule out from happening

SAS knows nothing!

Yep, if LeBron calls them, they will come..

The real benefit of it also is that Paul's Bird rights I think are now firmly with Houston and that means they could have significant cap space before pushing Paul over the top next summer. Gotta love Houston's front office for not standing pat even though they had a really good year.

I laughed at how inappropriate and funny this was at the same time.

Hope the Celtics join in on this to make the NBA more interesting. By interesting I don't mean necessarily beating the Warriors but a good shot at preventing another Warriors-Cavs finals.

They are both WAY behind the warriors (and the cavs). They need one more great piece AT LEAST to have a shot to beat the warriors.
