    Yeah I get it, but ultimately if the goal is to add another max player, it'll help. We just need to move Ryno + spare parts to open up space for another max I think.

    Well...rooting for Chris to do well...perhaps is the alpha dog that Harden needs to grow...

    You're not nuts. Morey doensn't give a F about 1st round picks...certainly not in the 20's, anyway.

    Wow. Really??? Only way I'd like this is if he was bought out. Otherwise he can get bent.

    It's starting to make me think players around the league may be ready to sacrifice in order to win.

    That poll is hard to answer cuz I like the trade but hate losing Bevs. I also think we should have been able to keep Lou or Dekker since we are giving up a first but it's Chris Paul so you gotta make the damn deal

    You can't guarantee ****. None of us can, so stop acting like you're Nostradamus 3.0 or something.

    This is big, them ..dudes..

    Melo, Wade, Bron, Paul all been trying to play together for a while now. If I'm Lebron (and I'm not, clearly) I want to play with Houston. That's what beats the Warriors. F'n 3 MVP type players on one team.

    SAS thinks it is Melo, but he has to be bought out and that MDA thing didn't work out so well for him.

    But either way, whether it is Paul George, Melo, Millsap, this isn't Morey's last move. That's for sure.

    CP3 cuts down TO's...that is a huge part of a problem that Harden hasnt solved since essentially having the keys to the offense. More efficient possession that result in shots is better for this team. If rumors are true that Harden really tried hard to land Paul...then kudos to him. He is willing to sacrifice stats to win. And that matters to me!

    Imagine if now Griffin resigns there. LMAO Would make it pretty obvious that those two couldn't get along.
    And LOL at Ballmer getting West at the last minute like that would change anything.

    I want also to see where Doc Rivers will latch himself to.

    This trade is intriguing to say the least... what will it take for us to get a decent big though? I'm convinced Morey/MDA would use 5 guards if they could get away with it. Ugh

    We lost bev, that in it self feel like we lost. Its sad day for those who watched bev from the first game he play as rocket to his last game. We gave up dekker Lou will and our heart and soul pat bev with a first round pick for aging cp3 (32). It could be a rental for all we know. Feel like we got robbed but time will tell.....

    Its safe to say at this point, if you are questioning the value of this trade, that you probably have an agenda against Morey.
