    Listening to the conversation between Broussard and Cowherd, the talk about Paul George to Houston was a way to help OKC get better. They said that Russ needs shooters who can play off ball. But where can they find Russ shooters who can play off ball? Oh, Houston has a bunch. Maybe they will send 2,3 or 4 of them over for PG and Make the Thunder Great Again.

    That’s how I interpreted that conversation. It was not a “How can Houston get better?” talk. Regardless of if it would or not. They did admit it could kill chemistry.

    Fake news.

    Getting Paul George not only disrupts chemistry on the best team record club this year,
    AND
    You are removing yourself from the Lebron coversation this summer.
    PLUS
    You can always get PG in the summer.

    Moving along

    Sarcasm. Our team is rolling so much, the only way I do any deal with anyone is if I know I am getting the better part of the deal. But hey, if there was a scenario by which they offered George and Anthony for role players, and Paul and Harden were for it........you never know. Stranger things have happened.

    If we could move Rynos contract I’m for it. Worst case is we resign PG. best case is we get Lebron

    People forget that EG was the 7th pick and is currently (finally) playing like it.

    We have our big three. I don’t think a big 4 has ever worked out. Look at all the dynasties, they’ve mainly been big 3’s. Jordan, Pippen, and Rodman had guys like kerr and kukoc. Kobe and Pau had bynum, Fisher, Ariza, Odom. Solid guys that won’t dare demand the ball. They know their role.

    People will raise the warriors but I would honestly say that Klay is not a star. Put Klay as the best player on a team and that team is a bottom feeder.

    Anderson only and I doubt OKC does that deal because the tax hit would be huge

    We shouldn't trade Gordon... Anderson is the one and only that should be offered. He's offered to get George off your hands.

    Screw up the Rockets’ chemistry and make the Thunder better for a rental? No thanks. The Rockets’ offense works partially because EGo and Ryno have unlimited range. Why mess with what’s working?

    If Gordon or Ryno were traded for ANYONE at this point, the Rockets would be worse off.

    Both EGO and RYNO work for the Rockets right now. They fit perfectly. I would not disrupt the lineup, let alone chemistry.

    I haven't read this or watched or read any comments but......

    Why do people just throw Eric's name out there like the Rockets are looking to get rid of him.....

    Trust Eric isn't going anywhere... He's a star player not superstar but star....not carry a team star but a star player nonetheless......

    Unless it's to get lebron and I even has doubts about that.... eric's here and will be here.....

    No room for this scrub with Harden, CP and LeBron already on the team.

    Didn’t he get fired from ESPN for making false reports and claiming sources told him? Yea it’s hard to believe this guy about anything.

    I'm actually pleasantly surprised to see that Paul George is shooting 40% from 3 this season. I would trade him for Ryan Anderson straight up.

    Edit: Maybe it was posted in this thread already, but can anyone confirm if OKC has any cap space if PG13 walks this summer? If not, I can see them be inclined to move him for a solid rotational player that they can keep around (Ryno) or sign with bird rights (Ariza). Don't think it's possible to make the $ work with Trevor though.

    No thank you. I don’t want PG13 or Melo. Maybe only for Ryan but prob not bcoz Ryan at least knows his role in the team.

    Between pg or Melo ofc Paul George. I doubt we make any move on pg tho. Morey knows that he would be messing with our chemistry. And that george might leave after. If he wants to come then only next season and if Lebron doesn’t come here. Which looks like he won’t come because he would want the max.

    I would be shocked if the Rockets made any moves during the season. Think they'll wait for buyouts to add more depth to the PG/Wing spots.
