    and I agree

    Unless there is something going on in Clipperland I havent heard about, it seems silly to expect Paul to leave the larger extension and teammates he has to possibly play with Howard if Houston can retain him.

    Maybe CP3 won't want to leave the money on the table. But the fact will be, he can join Howard here, but Howard can't join him in LA (or join any other superstar who isn't over the hill anywhere).

    I knew this was coming, but I'm still really sad to hear it. Luis was not really that overpaid in the grand scheme of things. A victim of circumstance. I'll miss the guy but I guess it's another move that either tanks the team or brings up back to the playoffs, and either way is okay.

    Best of luck to Luis with the rest of his career, it's been great having him as a Rocket.

    Goodbye Luis Scola! Thank you for 5 great years with the Houston Rockets. Your professionalism and work-ethic will be missed.

    true that is

    Going by what math I have seen already on possible variations of the Howard deal, the Rockets will have a large amount of cap space next year no matter what variation occurs. If there is anyone out there that makes up to the max, the Rockets would have room for them. Cant say that about a lot of teams.

    Agreed. I thinks its just a pipe dream to think that if cp ever left la it would be to play with a guy like howard who cant make up his mind whether to wipe with his left or right hand. All reports on paul has always been that his real desire is to play with melo and amare if he left la

    Daryl Morey, I hate you. You want to rebuild but at what cost? You tore the heart out of this franchise.

    Memories of the day we traded OT coming back. It was great to get Clyde, but man I loved some OT.

    Now after letting Scola go and Martin being in the final year of his contract we've officially got to be the youngest team in the league with no player to build around at this point. Shabazz Muhammad in 2013 NBA Draft here we come!
