    Stein will always be Cuban's man. He always sees the Rockets as a threat.

    maybe Morey gives Stein some info, to push Clippers to work a S&T. Maybe they are no takers for Anderson, or at least the S&T will be cheaper.

    I was very skeptical since Harden would have to play off the ball a lot, but I'm happy to hear that he wants to play with Chris Paul.

    I still think CP3 wants the max from the Clippers though.

    To be honest, I can see how last season must have exhausted Harden.

    Stein has his sources, I hope Morey won't be so dumb to give information to Stein.

    Yes, that's true, both mentally and physically.

    Bruh he's getting the max regardless. IF he is using the Rockets as leverage it is for a no trade clause, the Clippers would be absolutely asinine to not be offering the full 5 year max.

    I think you would have to convince Blake most in terms of winning. I feel as a #2 or #3, he'd be great, but there are certain ways he needs to play and have certain fight in order to win.
    I remember too many times Blake has gotten outplayed by Draymond(after 2014), and also could not back down KD to score in the post.

    Please tell me no one here thinks that a 32 year old Chris Paul paired with Harden and Gordon beats the Warriors in a 7 game series... please? As soon as CP3 gets hurt again and Harden quits in the playoffs, we'll be in an even worse spot financially then we are now...

    Well, that's possible but he is 32 years old now, and a huge 5 year contract may not be what the Clippers want. I do think if Griffin leaves, they will offer Chris Paul the maximum without any reservation.

    It makes us better than we are now regardless.. Are you saying we should just give up until the Warriors are done?

    Lou and Anderson plus Beverley will clear close to 35 million. More then enough to get Paul.

    4 reporters know their ****
    Stein, Woj and Ramona in terms of LA hoops and windhorst in terms of Lebron and cavs. They're sources are usually people inside the front office who leak info to reporters who constantly are texting them. These reporters don't give the front office employees name away so they say "sources".

    I dunno but it'd probably involve a fish flopping around.

    Denver is looking for a stretch 4 and Anderson fits there 3 point happy style. I could see them absorbing Ryno's deal.
