Chris Paul Opts In; Then Traded To Houston

[nbafan38]

This is a classy move by Paul, this is why I respect players like Paul and George who inform their teams of their intentions and at least ensure their teams get something back rather than the way Durant and Lebron just kept their teams unknown of their intentions and left for nothing

[Froob]

I'm guessing Miami gets Blake, Hayward to Boston so they won't be in the Blake sweepstakes.

DeAndre Jordan's about to turn into Desagana Diop without CP3.

L.M.A.O.

[Primetime23]

CP3 eligible for $200 mil extension next year then?

[An Unbiased Fan]

Another bad Houston star team up. Follows the history of Hakeem/Barkley/Pippen, Tmac/Yao, and Harden/Dwight.

A ball-dominant PG like CP3 working with Harden? lol. I mean sure Harden can play off-ball but now you're lowring his impact. He's not a KD type of player.

Tmac is to the 1st round....what CP3 is to the 2nd round

[Mind_Odyssey]

Wonder if the Spurs try to swap for Blake.

[ISayshowmee]

So...Blake def gone?

Just saw this and posted the same thing..... Yes.....he is gone. More than half of his points came from lob passes from CP3

[DROB27]

It seems Harden worked his magic and convinced CP3 to come .. I only wish Kawhi wasn't anti social and reached out to Paul maybe he would have came here

[ISayshowmee]

Wonder if the Spurs try to swap for Blake.

Hmm....Spurs losing LMA soon too.

[memgrizzlies000]

Why would they include their pick?? So dumb. They would've had to accept it anyway.

[Dan Z]

I have to say that's a decent return for LAC knowing they could've easily lost Paul for nothing. Seems like a win-win here.

whats the return?

Beveraly, decker and Troy Williams and a first round pick

Is it Troy and not Lou?

T-Mac and Yao was an excellent pairing, but neither could stay healthy at the same time except 1 playoff year. This is an AMAZING trade for the Rockets. Morey has done it again! They got another star for almost nothing.

NVM.

[cochiseuofm]

If Paul was leaving anyways, this is a great haul for the Clippers.

[zronv7]

now they need Paul George and Griffin, make it happen..if warriors can fit 4 max players I don't see how Rocket's cant

Paul
Harden
George
Griffin

[jc23]

Wow.

2017 nba playoffs <<< 2017 nba off season

[Fiasco West]

Why would they include their pick?? So dumb. They would've had to accept it anyway.

Maybe in good faith?

Barring some catastrophe, that's a late pick anyways.

For Clippers fans, you guys will love Beverly and Dekker definitely has some potential there.

[whatisacenter]

mind blown! I must say that it seems like an odd pairing but we will see how it works out on the court.

whats the return?

Dekker, Beverley, Lou Williams and Houston's 2018 first rounder.

Those are good players. If Paul was gonna leave anyways I think the Clippers at least getting these guys was a good move.

I really like Beverly and Lou Williams, so I'm kind of bummed they didn't go to one of my favorite teams - like I really wanted Beverly to go to OKC cause I think him and Westbrook together would have been something else. Oh well.

It's gonna be crazy seeing Paul and Harden together on the same team. Not sure how it will work, but I'm sure they'll figure it out cause they are both amazing basketball players. Lol - can you imagine the flopping!!!! Haha. They are going to set the record for most FTs in a season that's for sure .

[Yuri Vaultin]

A Harden/CP back court could actually break the hardwood floor with all the flops.
