    Didn't James Harden lead the league in turn overs last year? Yeah, this team needs a real point guard(Chris Paul) to lead them. But my only issue with Chris Paul is his injuries

    He also led the league in assists and points created . Finished second in most created in a season in the leagues history and was widely touted as the best point guard in the league.

    My #1 reason for wanting to see Chris Paul in a Rockets uni is to get Babadookholic to finally shut the f%#k up about Ricky Rubio..

    I would say that only when we make moves to clear cap space would be when I would really believe it but then I remember 2014.

    I wanted Bosh to join us so bad but thought it was doubtful, at best. I only believed it was happening when we made moves to clear cap space to trade Asik and Lin and I was so happy. Only to be scarred for life when Bosh renegade and Parsons left for nothing.

    Of course, we somehow ended up on top after all of it but still.

    Leverage is a powerful thing. CP3 used it against us once to get Doc in LA, hope he isn't doing it again to get his 5-year super max contract.

    I know that. But he is still a turn over machine. You dont win championships with a player who does that. He is better off as a shooting guard and second playmaker.

    Hence the reason for Paul. Most championship teams need two or more playmakers.Cavs have LBJ and Irvin and the Warriors have Durant, Curry and Green to a lesser extent,

    Sam Amick as well. He's pretty underrated.

    Yep broke the Dwight to Houston in 2013. I think this is even more loud chatter wise then the Dwight deal.

    I believe many teams would love Anderson, Morey must be actively trying to move him. Might as well move Bev and Lou. EG is a keeper.

    I'm keeping an eye on the Aldridge situation. I'd think the Rockets move ahead of the Spurs if they are forced to trade LMA.

    Saw an ESPN article suggesting that CP3 was wanting to sign in Houston in 2013. He may have always liked that team similar to Nene. Also a sign and trade may be required for the 5 yr deal. Clippers get Housto nd 2018 1st. Sac gets Anderson and Houston gets CP3. Lou or Because trade to make it work s alarywise.

    So what trio would pose the biggest threat to the Warriors

    Harden and CP3 + George
    Harden and CP3 + Griffin

    You should google highest turn over player and championship winners from every year. You'd be absolutely shocked.
