Well, the NBA off season already has been so much better than a lot of the season.

bummer, wanted him to go to the spurs but Paul and Harden will be fun to watch. This probably means Blake is gone as well.

I like the Clips move actually if he was going to leave anyway.

Huh? Does CP3 still get his money? Why would he want to see Houston trade all their guys or would they need to be moved anyways?

Going to laugh if its Beverly and Anderson only, but it makes sense.

Sources: After Paul informed Clippers he'd sign w/ HOU in FA, teams agreed to deal sending Beverley, Decker, Williams and 2018 FRP for Paul.

Man this offseason is looking like it's going to be an epic one. Really wondering how CP3 and Harden are going to fit.

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

Too much ball dominance between Paul and Harden. I don't think it will work out too well. Harden can play off the ball but he won't be as effective.

Noooo Beverley! My only love!

Don't like his fit in Houston at all. Should have went to San Antonio.

I have been wondering about the same. Both need the ball to be effective.

Blake gone also

This is brilliant by Chris Paul, this will net him the five year max after this season, which maximizes his earning potential completely (next year is the last season he could get a five year maximum contract).

This is also great for Los Angeles, they managed to not lose him for nothing. All parties benefit a ton here (unless you feel Chris Paul should have not gone to Houston).

That's great for the Clippers. If they were going to lose him anyway the have an all-defense guard back and 2 more pieces, and some more cap sapce.

The bad news is Lowry just got alot more interest.
