    He’s the perfect fit. I just don’t think they let him go.

    Unfortunately you're right on all points.

    Paul is still an above average NBA player and he's liable to have a flashback night every now and again. Given his massive contract and age, it'd be hard to trade him for actual talent.

    Capela was completely exposed this year. He struggled last year again but to talk all that sh*t on national TV about how bad you want to play the Warriors and then get punked by Draymond Green and Looney STRAIGHT UP......not a good look for CC. I always knew Clint was a system player that Harden made look better than he actually was but now the rest of the NBA world knows that as well.

    I don’t regret the Paul signing. With the Harden max and Capela deals, there was not going to be any real cap room. Paul is still good (at times great) but he is aging. If we luck into a situation where we can get better trading Paul, then great... but I really don’t see Paul as the problem, he just cannot do as much as even a year ago.

    Capela has more value on the trade market than a year ago. He is someone teams want to trade for, but again, it requires a trade that makes us better. It is possible that he can be involved in a Jimmy Butler three way deal or in a deal for someone like Galinari or possibly for Beal. However those are all long shots.

    Gordon is someone that has a real chance of being dealt. On his own we can probably get a solid starter.

    We don’t need to completely turn over the team. We do however need a couple starter caliber players at the 3/4 with length that can defend and hit open 3’s. We likely fill one spot with the full MLE but the other will have to come through creative trade.

    We got the squad to win.. we just need golden state to break up. Kd leaves and then maybe one of Thompson/ green leaves too. That’s our best chance at a ring

    I hate Westbrook, but trade Cp3 for him.

    I guess the rockets want to dump that contract before it hamstrings them

    Can’t even spell Charlotte right so not sure how reliable this can be? I would gladly do a Kembla and Marvin Williams for Paul deal though.

    Lol. If you're going to call someone out on a spelling error, make sure you don't make one straight away either.

    I respect fertitta for helping put UH on the map, but so far he’s a terrible NBA owner. Needs to set his expectations, butt out, and let the people who know the game do their job. I think he’s meddling too much for moreys liking and will drive him away

    Who the **** would want to trade for Paul.?? Anyone who says they want to keep him have fun getting bounced earlier in the playoffs every year.

    Hell yes to the Hornets’ Kemba and Marv.
