    1. Do you even watch the Rockets?

    Outside of Lebron, no one sets up their teammates with better looks than James Harden. CP3 needs to make open shots, period.

    Honestly I was trying to start a new thread three weeks ago, but I deleted it before posting.

    It’s possible Paul wants out.

    Fans don’t like his contract.

    f*** it. If this is true then I am going to be a Baseball fan. Astros are the true winner in this city. D12 then CP3 wanting to escape Harden. That is NOT A good look. Guess standing in the corner jerking off while your "best player" runs the clock and then expects you to delivery with 3 seconds left gets old?

    Cp3 is only making 500000 a game next season. For 82 games.

    Get rid of one of the greatest offenses in NBA history?

    Why not just get our defense back up to top 5 where it was?

    You’re not gonna get anything good for cp3 without completely gutting the team by putting together a package that probably includes Gordon and either Tucker or Capela.

    At best maybe you can put something together to get Bradley Beal from the Wizards but you’d still probably have to take John Wall’s shitty contract as well.

    I'm curious how he said that in a "speculative way"... as in stating it like it's a hypothetical?

    D12? Really? U bring up Howard as an example? That’s a joke...

    We’re gonna act like there weren’t questions about CP0 as a teammate before coming here? I like how u put best player in quotes as if it isn’t a fact. Had CP0 ever seen a WCF before Harden? No.

    CP0 can dip. We’ll see who will carry his ass all regular season as he misses his 20+ games. We’ll see who will have his team as a 4th seed in the West due to missing out on the 2 seed on the last day of the regular season while CP0 continues his decline.

    GS are not making playoffs next year.
    They are dumping every one except 4 all stars and this year 2 draft picks.
    4 stars = 130 million dollars.

    Trade Paul.

    SAS regurgitating old news about CP3 and harden having an argument after being eliminated. it was overblown then and its probably misleading now.

    if anything the rockets would be the ones looking to move paul since he's only going to miss more games per season and continue to get even slower off the dribble while making twice as much as he's worth. he may become the worst contract in the league before he's a free agent again.

    Believe when I hear it from a guy who doesn't think that retired players are still playing.

    lol, ends exactly the same as DH12 era, We went to WCF at the first year of "Honeymoon Season". Then second season, we gone short. Two stars got problems with each other. Prepare for a worse season in 2020, red nation. MDA will get fired at 11th game and he starts to make fun of James leadership. James will call MDA a clown back. History likes to repeat itself :D

    Yeah i watched every single game od this season. Did you? Of course Harden is hof player, top5 in the league. But he is the system - his way or highway. CP is not utilized as a pointguard, he is not standstill or bail out shooter. Might aswell put any pg with defense and 3pt ability in his spot and it would make no difference because James run the show. I can only imagine what it feels like to the player that was ball dominant and leader his whole career to not see the ball in his hands until bench comes in
