The thing is this saves the Rockets a ton because by opting IN to his contract Chris Paul is on the books for $24 million instead of $34 million.
Sucks to lose Bev, but having a guard rotation of CP3, Harden, and Eric Gordon is absolutely ridiculous.
@WojVerticalNBA: Chris Paul and James Harden were determined to play together, and found a way with Rockets-Clippers trade agreed upon today. m.twitter.com/...
Oh my! Hate losing Pat, but glad he ended his Rockets career with a All-NBA Defensive 1st Team and won the NBA Hustle Award.
Only cost us Bev, Lou, Dekker, and a 1st round pick???!? WOWOWOOW..... our salary cap stays intact to make future moves. I love you Daryl Morey!!!! Still have future picks, Ryan Anderson, and ariza to dangle in trades. Plus Chris Paul has opted in to the deal meaning, he will be on the books for only the salary he is owed this year.... giving us more room to work.!
