    Immediately after I heard the Woj Bomb break the news of us getting CP3, I ordered chow mein, house fried rice, orange chicken, broccoli beef, and hot and sour soup to celebrate.

    exactly. as a #1 option he of course isn't an ideal option. #3 or less come on now.

    i really question some people on this board and how they actually see what winning basketball is

    It doesn't matter. TO complete it u have to have enough roster spots to take them in. And that's wth the 20 available spots for summer not the usual 15.

    I hope we bring him in. Would be a YUGE upgrade over Ryno. Just imagining him getting the same opportunities that Anderson had gets me hard.

    Harrell got practically zero playing time in the second half of the season. I have absolutely no problem giving him up in this trade.

    That is the tradeoff Morey is willing to make. Paul agreed to help the Rockets by working out a trade, which allows wiggle room in the salary cap this summer in exchange for a massive windfall at the end of his career.

    I'm fine with this deal so long as we get another piece and truly compete with the Warriors in the West. That is the price you pay to put together a contender and if things don't pan out, then Morey has the brains to figure an exit strategy before Paul is due 50 million per season.

    We now have no bench, all for cp3. One of the reason y Eric Gordon/Anderson weren't missing too much game was because of a bench. How we gonna make three injury prone players Paul Gordon and Anderson last long enough for playoffs? Coach d Antoni gonna be like 6-7 man rotation again?

    Beverly was a shotgun to the chest but Harrell too. I thought he has great potential.

    People talking about giving up too much....yes because role players are going to beat the Warriors or even the Spurs lol...

    KD to GS gives us no choice but to go all in even if CP3 or PG13 or Melo are rentals. You have to go for broke. Why the **** would you want to keep a team built to just simply make the playoffs or 2nd round? Honestly...why? I just can't believe there still are a few out there complaining...

    Huh? Dekker didn't play half the season because he was hurt and Harrell was in and out of the rotation. Losing Lou hurts, but he was really a luxury we had with Eric Gordon already on the roster. They actually don't lose that much depth.

    They will likely just waive stone prior to the trade.

    Tim Macmahon or whatever his nasme is tweeted that the Rockets are very confident that they are getting either George or melo.

    For sure. It hurts to see Harrell go.
