i think both of them were ball dominant out of necessity, they will adapt

So are the Rockets going to try to dump more stuff to the LAC and see if they can get Blake too?

Now Houston will try and go after George hard now.

Doesn't really hurt the Rockets, but I don't see how it makes them that much better.

I still don't see them as contenders yet

sources told me CP3 didnt want beverly and lou on team cuz he wants to play 40min a game

I think Harden will adjust fine back to SG, and the Rockets overall will benefit because Harden for sure had to carry way too much of the load last year.

If Houston goes all in for Paul George, watch out.

Paul
Harden
George
Anderson
Capela

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.

Warriors I can see but both are not way behind the Cavs. Warriors and Cavs aren't on the same level. I think the Spurs are already better than the Cavs and would have beaten them if they played in the finals imo. It will atleast be somewhat more challenging for Golden State instead of just sweeping through to the finals.

What assets do the Rox have to land PG13?

Pacers could possibly bite on a Capela/Anderson/Future 1st deal if the Celtics and Lakers keep lowballing them.

How would an over-the-hill all-Banana Boat team fare against the rest of the NBA? We might find out this season.

Out of curiosity, what does Rockets cap situation look like now? If they manage to dump Ryan Anderson's contract, how much would they have?

I don't see how that package is better than their lowball offers. I bet Eric Gordon would have to be involved

Problem is pacers will want something back. They won't give PG away for free

I think that lineup is a serious threat for GS. But without George, if its just a Paul/Harden comob, then I dont see them near GS level
