    It doesn't matter who's behind it as long as you watch HOLEY MOLEY produced by visionary and media mogul Steph Curry, and RANDOM COOKING SHOW produced by chef savant and entrepreneur Ayeesha Curry Saturday night.....ONLY ON ABC!

    Honestly I hope you are right and he plays for the Rockets next year as they are probably the prohibitive favorite to win it all in that case …. I just don't see it happening. Too many hoops to jump thru any whicha way you slice it.

    Its already been reported he's opting out of the last year of that deal …. getting him in a S&T is a hot mess unless maybe you can swap him for SeePee3 but that still hard caps you @ $138m tho the difference in their salaries may allow you to use the full MLE & BAE instead of the tax version.

    Its also been reported Philly is gonna give him his max money & years.

    Yeah , I think it'd be great to have him in Rockets red …. just don't think its going to happen.

    What's to compare as a free agent ? He's gonna get the max no matter where he goes.

    The only difference is Philly can give him 5 years with 8% raises yearly …. any other team can give him 4 years with 5% raises.

    Few good nuggets in the article:
    • Rockets were in the AD chase
    • We are going after Butler hard
    • We've discussed Capela for the #4
    • EGo may be on the move if we cannot agree on an extension
    Also have noticed that Iko has talked up Hartenstein in several articles. Seems like the team is really high on him (or trying to fluff up his trade value)

    That's what kills me is people just forget year 1 cp3 n harden worked out fine taking turns...cp3 just got old. Harden has no problem letting a guy iso

    As arrogant and the King of Drama that cp3 is.. He doesn't want ISO.. He wants ball movement and player movement... I couldn't agree more.

    That's the kicker we been what top 5 team atleast with him here....like people dhit on the rockets that win alot....its slot of stars that ain't got a ring....why do talk about westbrook, pg13, 76ers not being able to win...the celtics stacking assets only to let thier man get away...its alot of failures in this league but for some reason a rockets team always gets the hate...this is why I root for harden to win the mvp every year, n chip. They hate talking bout us...is no reason media should think the rockets u know the only weat team that gave the warriors trouble shouldnt be the fav now that they are not the same team

    Dont shoot the messenger - CP3 meeting with his agents at one of Fertittas restaurants today.

    Rockets betting heavily on Butler homecoming.

    Possible 3 team trade. (I don’t like it) Wiggins to Houston, Hayward to Minny, CP3 to Boston. Picks and role players not decided.

    They better get a draft pick and pick up Darius Garland or Coby White if this happens.

    If they re betting heavily on a Butler homecoming, I can’t see them trading for Wiggins. Didn’t he and Butler clash in Minny?
