    his defense is also too good to compliment Harden's lack of defense in the backcourt

    Rockets should go after Blake Griffin or more role players like the great Gallinari or Reddick instead

    I would rather have Griffin come along with CP3...the chemistry is already there between the 2. PG13 is great, but at least we have Ariza though certainly not on the level of PG13. Rockets need a post up player to keep defenses honest.

    If I were PG I would not, I would want to go to Boston, Minny, New Orleans, wherever there is not a glut of old players.

    Or just play for the Lake show.....

    That is intelligent. As a fan, yeah, he can stay in Houston for 5 years. All for it.

    so apparently CP3 was going to sign with us back in 2013, but the Clippers hired Doc which made him stay with Clippers. If only we had gotten CP3.

    Rockets lose to a Spurs team without Parker and Kawi. Why would he pick Rockets over Spurs. Don't tell me about financial flexibility with the roster cause they can move their players in a trade just as easily. Spurs can sell him on taking the torch from Tony next year...

    If we had it would've just added another person to the ever growing list of people who hated playing next to Dwight Howard.

    FIFY. Tony not expected to return until at least January 2018.

    GOAT coach
    2-way monster in Kawhi
    Can easily replace whatever they have to trade away (because they find hidden gems like Simmons & turn them into good players)

    We don't know how they look. They will change a bit next season now that Nike takes over.

    Ok. That was a tad harsh but you know what I mean. PG could start something as young as the Timber Pups like Butler....lead a young team instead of being just the No. 2 or No. 3 guy here. CP3 probably would not think he is the third option.

    I believe it's confirmed no change to the Rockets uniforms for next season.

    I really don't get it. How would Paul make such a huge difference compared to a Power Forward or additional Center. We need big guys who can not only shoot but defend well, and Paul just doesn't interest me one bit. We have a ton of guards to rotate in with Harden, but have slim pickings when it comes to guys who can shoot and defend at the rim well. They are either old, or too inexperienced.

    adding a cp3 is just a huge upgrade for this team, everything from a leadership to top tier talent standpoint. anyone who is struggling to understand how he would even help should probably reevaluate their bball iq. it's not difficult at all and shouldn't be
