    My thing is that you guys had the perfect compliment to harden who had been next to harden for years, and yeah he is not as good as chris paul per say, but he and harden had a real chemistry. And as soon as he got valuable you guys traded him away.
    Just my opinion but beverley is the next tony allen. I dont think the spurs would have done that.
    Not only is chis paul on the wrong side of 30, he is going to cost you a huge salary cap commitment.
    You also gave away your 2018 pick and montrezl harrell who was a damn good defender, and lou williams a quality 3 point shooter.
    Believe me, im not trolling here, i just think morey screwed up. Cp3 is not harden when he came to the rockets. This was totally different.
    I think the rockets might regret this deal for years to come.

    So you don't understand how the rockets win games...because we lost bev, montrezl and a 2018 first rounder. That doesn't really make sense. We have won a lot of games the past few seasons without bev. We made the wcf with Jason terry at point.

    Rockets 108-Grizzlies 97

    Rockets improve to 4-0 and remain at the top of the NBA

    Grizzlies do well to slow down the Rockets play and wear us down with their defence. Let's hope we can stay undefeated!!

    I didn't know Green was out. That's pretty big. Guess he fell in Game 1?

    Im just being realistic. I thought morey did well last year when he valued depth over stars, but after 1 year and got rid of it.
    I don't think another star was why the rockets fell to the spurs last year.

    Tonight is Gordon bobblehead. Only 4 this year. Rockets must be having a hard time finding sponsors for those things. All the bobs are on Mondays. What else they got a team calendar? No RPD calendar?!

    Don't they mean "Attempted". Little over-confident after DeAndre

    The rockets are still deep

    Swapped bev, Lou, dekker and trez

    For cp3, Tucker, LMM and Tarik black.

    Every GM in the league would do thy swap including your grizz.

    You might not like the moves but the rockets didn't lose any depth the acquired different depth in terms of more defense first guys.

    When you have Harden your team will score, the year the rockets went to the WCF they were 6 the defensive team rating they went back to that model but added cp3 so he can keep the offense humming when harden rests.

    Imo that's the real reason the brought cp3 here even though I don't think anyone in the organization would ever say so.

    They don't want the ball out of Hardens hands, cp3 wasn't brought here to do that.
