    I'd prefer grandpa Paul.

    65 wins. You'd trade a bunch of scrubs for 65 wins and a trip to the WCF every year.

    By the way, what the Rockets are paying Paul is really quite irrelevant - they didn't trade for him while he was being paid that money. The decision to pay the money was after the success of the trade.

    Next.

    Let me know when Patrick Beverly can average 10 assist almost every game. Paul and Beverly are on par with defense and hustle with Paul being smarter/better overall. He still averages more ppg then bev and can go off for 20+ Any given night. He also always steps up in playoffs

    Last season it was a steal because Chris was lights out, this season not so much but the night is still young

    This hindsight 20-20 **** is getting out of hand, but more significantly, pulled way the **** out of context.

    You really think we'd be contenders with those other guys instead? I don't see it.

    Another JCDenton thread with no graph. He's slipping.

    Steve Nash didn't drop off until he was 38.

    I could foresee a similar aging curve for Chris Paul.

    Chris Paul is still dealing with Hamstring Issues, his shot looks weak because of his legs, plus his knees are bone on bone which is concerning. I think he will turn it up, he is his own worst critic, he will improve.

    John Wall is a player I wish the Rockets would Target, John Wall and James Harden are almost the same age John is 28, Harden 29. John is taking over games, can really shoot the 3, dribble and penetrate, John looks so different, much more sure of himself, looking like a # 1 pick now, compared to when he was younger. Bradley Beal also a player I think is very impressive.

    Wall is shooting 31% from 3. Not sure it's a fit, Wall is too ball dominant.
