    exactly. as much of a weapon pnr is with harden. cp3 is just as good if not better, while adding legit versatility to the team overall makes a big upgrade.

    Btw to get Paul we would have to dump Anderson and Lou, which would be ok, just not sure who would play at the 4 since we wouldn't even have the MLE. Trez, Sam or Wiltjer?

    Seems like strategy on Morey's part, get Paul to realize he has options and leave L.A. then we can swoop in and bring DeAndre home

    Waste of time. Paul has a 0% chance of choosing us over the Spurs.

    CP3 won't be an outwordly choice here and fit but would make us more formidable, surely flopping even more in the backcourt.

    I am sure that Morey is going to make a run at Chris Paul...... he loves Paul and the Rockets need more top shelf talent.

    Having said that, I am sure we are going to be linked to everyone from LaMarcus Aldridge, Pau Gasol to Gallo and Chandler.

    The chance of the Rockets getting Paul? About the same shot they had of getting LeBron a few years ago, pretty damn close to zero.

    if Morey can build this team then we're talking

    CP3
    Harden
    Ariza
    Millsap
    Capela

    Ego off the bench

    this would require CP3 actually coming here in FA and completing a S&T for Millsap...so basically it would require a miracle

    in order to compete with GS, u need multiple good defenders that can switch reliably, somebody that can make Curry work by defending him well while also making him have to guard an offensive threat, somebody that can defend Durant and not got utterly abused, multiple ball handlers and scoring threats on offense, and of course good coaching and adjustments

    this is what I think it would require in order to actually beat them

    CP3
    Harden
    PG
    Millsap
    Capela

    CP3 is maybe not the best player to pair with Harden. But we need another star badly.
