When we signed him the max last year, I wonder if Morey explored a sign and trade options with another team.
Agree completely, CP3 deserves nothing but respect from us. I actually kind of feel bad we did him like that.
Would be ironic if he went to Miami with the traitor Jimmy Butler who blew us off basically last minute. It’s kind of mind boggling why thunder would even take on his contract if they intend to trade him
...and got rid of $60M or so in salary obligations while they're trying to save $$ during the rebuild.
Oh I know they did but I’m still picking my organization and future over doing somebody a solid When’s the last time morey did somebody a solid?. I’m sure it makes the organization look good but also now their stuck with a terrible contract
Well a good example of us shafting a player recently is Chris Paul himself lol. No doubt he did but it’s still a business but if he can flip his contract then I suppose all is well but by recent reports it looks like he has to pay Teams even more just to take on his contract
Cons of keeping Paul: our window is closed shut and Harden's prime is wasted Pros of trading for Westbrook: our window is now extended by 3 years, right around when both of their contracts can be traded if Tilman wants a rebuild
Miami actually want to land paul so worst case is thunder give one of the picks but they get some young serviceable players. They could have done a 3 way but presti i guess wanted to have more time.and flexibility on what to do with cp3 And okc had no choice houaton was wbs only choice and thats better than wb and his contract lingering longer on their hands
I think it was j.j. reddick who said that the rockets treat their players like assets instead of working with them and building. Something along the lines of that. I could be mistaken. I kinda see that. But given the recent transactions, we are kinda the same only without Cp3. I hope we can continue to build a structured team and actually have a real locker room that honestly enjoys playing together. Im just trying to be optimistic.
