    Max CP3 and immediately draft 3-4 point guards to learn under CP3 the next 4 years.

    Paul George isn't proven like Paul. We have to sign Paul and some help. Keeping our core is a sure deal. Adding more depth to prevent injury is the key to success. Lebron won't be coming to htown if Cp3 isn't here.

    This theory is based on you’re overactive figment of ur imagination. Harden will never get traded unless he asks for a trade or he gets towards the end in the last year or two of his prime.

    You are just making bullshite up and expect people to buy ur dumbass theories. None of the garbage you spewed is based on logic or facts. Unless you provide facts stop derailing threads to spread nonsense

    Max players can find ways with any defense. If a 6’7 player like Draymond can stop your game.... you’re not max

    Paul is better then George or any free agent not named Lebron so you sign him to a top heavy contract

    Look at the thread you are posting in.

    It literally says “Chris Paul won’t take a pay cut”

    Now you tell me how we get Lebron while paying Paul and Harden $30 mil each. That’s the fantasy. Trading Harden would be the most realistic path to landing Lebron, painful, scary or not. That’s the only real way.

    Thinking the Cabs will take Anderson and Gordon with late first rounders just to go Lebron a solid is dope smoking hallucinations

    How silly of the rockets becoming a championship caliber team. Such a bad organization

    Wojo is not saying anything here. Paul will take a cut if it means Lebron is in Houston. It’s as simple as that. He won’t take a cut for anyone else

    Overreacting? I’m not running around with Lolly pop dreams of a magical big 3 where the cap doesn’t exist. You must be the one asleep “fool”. I’ll hedge my bets and hope for the best but I won’t start religiously praying in things that could happen.

    Chris could take a pay cut. Lebron could want to play with Harden enough to take less. All these non facts based on wishes to stars like a young child.

    Its completely idiotic to even suggest we would trade Harden. It isn't happening, no way no how and I hate that there's even a discussion at all. No one should even post that unless they're trying to make a joke, because thats exactly what it is, a joke. Your suggestion is embarrassing.

    Lebron won’t have to take a cut. Paul will. Yule c

    If suggesting trading Harden’s salary is a joke then the idea of convincing Lebron to come to Houston is a bigger joke. That’s the reality of the situation. This thread is about Paul not taking a pay cut. That makes getting Lebron impossible.


    I’m sorry I have to bring reality into this.

    You are very good at cricizing decisions made by coaches and gms but i never see you provide viable alternatives.

    Put your gm cap on, instead of signing paul what move do you make for us to compete

    Does your brain not work? The warrant for the thread’s title is Woj’s opinion. You think he has factual insight into the business relationship between morey and paul? L-O-L that’s how everyone knew paul was coming to houston right?

    Do you also not understand the concept of leverage? You think cleveland would rather talking nothing than gordon/anderson/late firsts? L-O-L

    The purpose of the paycut is to fit other players within the salary cap. Tillman will be paying the luxury tax regardless, this has nothing to do with his willingness to spend

    The Rockets can trade Eric and/or let Clint go to keep Harden and get LBJ. Those scenarios are all doable and far more realistic then you’re outlandish suggestions. Rockets have more ways available to them to get Lebron then just trading Harden away.

    This has been said many times and bares repeating, it it more likely that Morey will get fired before Harden gets traded. Both are unlikely as each other.

    Have the balls to say Chris Paul will take a pay cut next season. L-O-L. How about a tip jar bet? I’ve got $30 he won’t. You down?

    I’m glad to pay it if I’m wrong
