    if he doesn't then we all realize harden is just flawed and will never win and nobody in the world can hold him accountable. that's on him and not anybody else. the excuses just have to stop

    Only one team is going to win the title, DM may not get enough players to win it next year, but with CP3 on the team, Les will make money even without winning a title. DM is just doing a great job to get CP3, and Les is very happy, and the fans are happy to. There is no much negative thing in this trade.

    Is the rest of the NBA just supposed to wait 5 or more years until the Warriors dynasty breaks up? Sometimes you just have to say **** it and go all in.

    Can't be all Postitive....... Paul isn't as durable as Harden, when he is out and we dun have that depth talent wise..... another mediocre stretch.

    It is what it is.

    However, going all in does not mean it is all sunshine.

    Yes, I will go after Chris Paul if he has a bad stretch of games or if he is injured too much. No holding back there just because he is a star.

    No extra treatment. When he is whining, b****ing or flopping, the same.

    I said this last year and I'll say it again...The Rockets are going to be a lot better than people think and we aren't even done yet.

    People underestimated them last year and are doing so again this year so far.

    Cp3 is going to be huge for this team.

    Coming from an alleged "business-money" website Forbes, how can these fools not be in awe of Morey's elevation of Cash Considerations into an artform?

    Are these capitalist pigs not impressed by the salary cap manipulation of a lifetime? Or the insider trading between a Wizard GM and the President of the Players Association? I thought these Wall Street fat cats would j*zz all over this kind of dealmaking.

    These are the same type of writers who wrote Durant and Curry can't share the ball last year. They went to same clown class that you have to write an antagonist side of a protagonist. I'm quite sure if the Warriors, or any team with championship goals were given that opportunity, they will not pass.

    This article makes some weird points. Sounds like a mad Spurs fan wrote this. I find it funny when people poo-poo a move a team makes, yet offer no alternative. As if we're just supposed to be satisfied with a top 5 team with not even a slim chance to win it all. Obviously the Warriors are the favorites for the next however many years, so why not go for it? The ceiling of this team with Harden and Paul is obviously higher, and it's weird how some people act like that's a bad thing.
