    4 days ago a had a feeling that Chris Paul in Houston is real. I saw him in Rocket's uniform in some kind of 2 sec. vision. I know it sounds crazy but it's true.

    Somehow I have a similar feelings about Gordon Hayward despite all those rumors with Boston Celtics. I think I would prefer more PG13 in Houston but I cannot see it, no matter how much I try.

    Who would be better fit for us for the next season?

    Gordon Hayward or Paul George ?

    both fit fine. both pretty similiar players overall. nothing really stands out as a huge difference bw the two besides maybe the playoff experience of PG

    No man, I'm new here. I think PG13 is better clutch player but GH is also good. The defense is similar, Advanced statistics are also similar.

    Pretty much what Yolo said.

    I'd add that George is a better one on one defender (Hayward is still very solid though) and probably shooter, but Hayward is a better passer, can go to the ft line better and probably more of glue guy.

    Again, both would be great, i'd still take George overall, but between Hayward locked on a 4 year contract and George with only one year left and the chance that he goes to LA next summer eh...i'd take Hayward.

    Everything centers around who would LeBron want?

    I think the Rockets actually WANT rental players this year, which is why they traded for CP3 and not signed him to a massive deal.

    If we can get George, the next offseason we will have a huge amount of capspace available to get LeBron and build around him. If CP3 and George like this experiment, they would be likely to stay in Houston and take less to play with LeBron.

    the rockets probably couldn't careless what he wants at this point. he's not associated with this team so they're actually building towards beating him and GS instead of worrying about what he wants

    It's only my wishful thinking but I hope even longer than PG13 or GH

    I don't know man. It comes down to your preference

    Do you prefer sturdy players or non sturdy players?

    I think we are beggars and not choosers when it comes to the 3rd guy.

    I would be very happy to get Hayward without giving him too much cash.

    This is what we call short-sighted (i.e. the opposite of Morey)

    uh no. that's what you call win now which is exactly what morey is doing once he made the move for cp3 and obviously where he's trying to get a 3rd and 4th star right now

    If they performed the docking technique would it be possible for them to have a child and he could be our 3?

    Whoever says yes first?

    But they're barely in the mix for George & Hayward is visiting with 3 teams, none named "Houston" or "Rockets".

    So. . .

    And i could be wrong but it does seem Gordon has less ego & might be more "okay" with a 3rd option role than Paul "I need that shot" George.

    PG with that length could really help us down the stretch... Hayward is good but is a girl tbh, I feel like I could guard him better than some NBA players. Would be great to have either tho, not knocking down on Hayward. But PG first....

    Gordon isn't coming here, allegedly. We're not on the short list and he wants to the "man" somewhere. That's not happening here.

    Likely, it will be Boston, but don't underestimate my boy Amir being moved around. He'd be a great pickup for us.
