    My last BBall shoe purchases foreshadowed this. I was down to deciding between CP3s and Melos. I finally decided.. Why not get both? So I did. The moral of the story? I bought both shoes but i still suck at basketball but at least my shoes look good :)

    We still keep EGOD and BOOBY BROWN as our bench reinforcers

    And we all know CP3 came here to play with BOOBY BROWN, not Jim

    He and Gordon play the same position while Gordon is better at this stage of Wades career .

    So funny that people don't think this trade was in the Houston Rockets best interest going forward or Morey would have just waited for Free Agency to sign Paul. This is the best of both worlds since it allows us still pursue a free agent (either 3rd star) or at the very least an MLE type of player making 8.4 mil per like Patrick Patterson, etc.(not sure who else is out there that would be a good fit).

    Assuming CP3 resigns next year, his contract will be painful in a couple of years ( 40+ million when he's 37 years old & close to $50 million when he's 38 years old). David Alridge mentioned one of the reason for this CP3 move was that the Clippers weren't willing to pay a 37 year old CP3 $45 million, now the Rockets will have the "privilege" of paying a 38 year old CP3 $50 million.

    Gordon could be traded for solid piece and then you sign Wade for peanuts to be 6th man?

    Actually, I think his offensive skill set would really shine in a Mike D'Antoni offense. It's that he plays worse defense than Harden, and I don't believe he has the right attitude, and I am just not a fan of his.

    Certainly, Stockton and Malone were valuable NBA players, but I would have never wanted them on the Rockets. I don't dislike Anthony anywhere near as much as I do those guys, and I actually think Anthony handled himself pretty well, and with more poise, and class than Guru Phil and the Knicks have in that relationship.

    If Lebron James joins CP3 and James Harden in Houston next year, I will faint from excitement.

    Again I stated Unless EGOD IS GONE. Meaning yes if Eric gets traded then it makes sense otherwise not really.

    2 firsts. The 2017 with Corey for Williams and the 2018. But just splitting hairs.

    Remember when we had this same feeling when we thought we landed Chris Bosh? Funny how things work...

    @EricPincus: What the Rockets are doing will not be legal in new CBA, which disappoints me frankly, don't like this particular rule change. Technically what Rockets are doing would still be legal in July, but over time new non-guaranteed players won't have monetary trade value
