    And James Harden? He’s perfect and a playoff God amirite?

    lmao...imagine getting younger, more athletic, and receiving the 6th pick in the draft while getting rid of this CP0 albatross deal...maybe if Morey has heavy blackmail material on James Jones

    I’d be celebrating in these streets if Morey pulled that off

    He is definitely a proven starting piece at this point in his career.

    Not saying this can happen but...

    The Suns are dumb. And they've been developing young players for like 5/6 years getting zero results...maybe they're tired of waiting and losing.

    meh...from the moment we traded for CP, I thought we had a 2 year window to win a title unless a 3rd star was brought in...well now we’re reduced to praying and hoping that Jimmy Butler opts in and chooses to come to HOU

    no point in moving forward this roster

    Why are people trying to spin this when both these guys were well past their prime? Half the board were clamoring for Howard and Paul to get moved and now its because Harden chases his teammates away?

    Nah, let's just keep them so we can continue complaining how Harden can't win a ring.

    Guarantee if we had PG or KD (or LAC CP3), this would be a non story.

    I get attached too but now is the time for change. If you have been checking the random trades thread I’ve been advocating for significant change to this roster sense our season ended. We just have to get better players who fit the system. Morey can use Clint, EG and picks to reshape this roster.

    Rockets fans may break the trade machine.

    If the Rockets trade CP3 this year because he can't fit with Harden and the organization we are going to have issues going forward.

    And which one of those 10+ do we have rights to? Your argument has no foundation to stand on.

    at this point clint/eg are this teams best chance to get a significant player. There aren't any realistic scenarios to move cp3/harden unless the mo is to just start over from scratch which doesn't sound like what morey is doing "desire to improve the roster"

    Lol you guys are high on crack if yall think Paul is netting those kinds of picks or players.

    I think the absolute best we could hope for is expiring's, and in reality, we'd likely have to take back a bad contract or two as well.

    The rockets have not learned anything from the Lakers, the whole team can quite for you.

    A stretch 4 or a deadly 3 would be the perfect compliment to Harden's game .give me a Patrick Beverly type over CP3 any day

    If I was dealing with the Lakers , Kuzma would be the one player I demand in any scenario.

    He may not be "as good as CP3" but he is easily a better fit than Cp3 next to Harden. He can play off of Harden rather than getting in Harden's way.

    If you can move Cp3 for a quality 3/4 and keep Capela , Tucker and EG …. now you have the Full Non Tax MLE to offer to replace that secondary facilitator & the BAE for a bench player before you have to resort to minimum salary guys.

    Fit is everything here ….
