    Busting my ass at work dealing with a ridiculously complex mezzanine transaction. My son texted me with the news. I won't forget that.

    Sitting on the toilet and constipated! :mad:

    If it wasnt for Paul, Id still be sitting there.

    My colon had a party when it was announced.

    Paul is already the MVP for me!

    Walking out of the Rampart casino when I saw the news on ESPN, about 9 am Vegas time. Rushed to my car to read the first fan reactions from Clutchfans.

    Well I had gone to shower. I come back to 160+ new tweets on #nbatwitter. Of course click on them, one of the first ones was Woj breaking the news that Chris Paul had OPTED IN & was traded to Houston.

    :eek::eek::eek:

    Then I come to ClutchFans & of course the thread is already 15-18 pages deep.
