    Great news but paying a 37-38 year old that much money if it's a max?

    Well I know he's great you know he's great easily one of the best talents the game has had over the last 20 years.

    But a lot of rockets fans think he sucks and none of the great players in the NBA respects his game or wants to play here.

    Despite the fact that besides KD every major FA has taken a meeting with the rockets since we got him.

    We landed Howard and cp3 had bosh in the bag before Miami super maxed him and now seem to have melo in the bag if we can get the knicks to bite.

    These NBA players see the scouting report on harden every night.... and they still can't gaurd him. He still carves them up and gets his teammates wide open threes and dunks. Who wouldn't want to play with harden????

    The dude was 100% ready to sign a 4 year max with us until we were able to work out at last minute trade. Of course he wants to stay.

    Chris Paul and James harden have the potential to me it the best back court in NBA history.

    A bonafide PG with a potential top 5 SG all time

    I am drool

    Get Lebron here, and extend Chris Paul. A trio of Harden, Lebron, and Chris would be awesome.

    I hope the organization treats him right... I have always liked him and I've lived in Houston most of my adult life and most importantly fall in love with the organization as a child... I hope the organization treats right and shows everyone why I love this organization so damn much...

    His game will age very well so he might not be prime. But he will definitely still have his shot and floor IQ. Nash was still putting up 12 and 10 his last year in phoenix when he was 37.

    We actually can't sign him for a deal when he's 38. So, only a 4 year deal after this year. Nash played really well at 37, was never a great defender. Paul plays slow as molasses, his game will age very very well.

    All the deals from here out seem ludicrous, role players and scrubs alike. Might as well pay the good ones.

    Side note: he's the players head, so he should have the most influence at the FA table.

    If I start saying obvious things and claim to be by sources will ppl believe me?

    Sources: Boston is looking to make further moves to improve the roster. Looking for a center.
    Sources: Lebron may leave the Cavs.
    Sources: Wall considering not signing his extension and leaving the Wizards.
    Sources: Rockets looking for further opportunities to improve. Trade imminent!

    I wish I could get paid to tweet that ****!!

    When has a player who joins X team said anything other than. I plan to be with X team long term. Standard procedure man....No disrespect meant, I just don't see it as newsworthy.

    Didn't the new CBA allow for a player like Chris Paul to get a five year max including age 38?

    Chris Paul - Rockets Legend

    Always wanted him in Houston, this feels surreal.

    Also,

    Chris Paul opts out. Melo Opts out. Ariza expires..... Rockets renounce rights to both of them.

    Harden gets the DVP extension, the old 4 split up the rest of the money,Rockets wont be hard capped, re-up Capella, sign the ring chasers to Min contracts.

    This is all working out. Bright days ahead for this Rockets team. :D
