    Isn’t that amazing? Chris Paul gets the largest of all contracts this free agency and he is older and injury prone.

    Laker fans will never appreciate him like Houston fans would have.

    Gotta say that the myth about The Rockets luring Lebron proved to be the hopeium it always was.

    Lebron wasn’t considering bringing his family, brand, career to Houston. EVER.

    The Rockets are third tier in terms of teams in the city .

    Look at our garbage crowds. We had the best team in the league.

    I guess he doesn't care about winning...

    Not going to happen, but how funny would the Ball family and Poppovich be together if Lonzo was part of that trade? Bet they would get along perfectly. Can’t wait to see Lavar and Lebron together.

    The only thing I give props to for Lebron is taking a pay cut while an aging Paul sucked us dry. Lebron is really about winning, giving room to sign another big name

    Rockets will play LA Lakers in the season opener, there is a good chance. We always play LA on TNT opening night. NBA will save Warriors vs Lakers for Christmas most likely.

    Honestly it wasn’t a surprise. Built a 20 million dollar Brentwood mansion there over a year ago so that should have been a dead give away

    It's a max deal but Rockets had bird rights so higher raises. If Paul went to another team that would have been the most he could have gotten in a 4 year max deal.
