    I've always thought we shoulda traded Harden instead of CP3 but many around my circle thought i was nuts... others are just not ready for that conversation or its pointless now!

    You were wrong then, still wrong now.

    CP3 is not leading any team to a ring.

    Even in his prime with 3 All Stars and deep bench.

    His entire history is a true example of choking than Harden, not even close.

    Before Harden, CP3 had never EVER made a single conference finals.

    EVER.

    It's a rebuild. It is what it is. Stone actually has something to work with this off season so we'll see what he does. This year is washed as far as I'm concerned. When your star player says he wants out that throws a wrench into anyone's plans.

    Denial is not just a river in Egypt. The sooner we face facts the better chance we have for turning it around. We were never good enough, even with Harden and CP3. People talk like we would have won that series without the injury -- that's an assumption that goes against the reality that we were always underdogs in that series, and rightly so.

    Better to be bad than mediocre.

    This is the obvious move to make. I'm sure Stone will be more trigger happy as the deadline approaches.

    Imagine being excited about an organization too cheap to afford the next contract of David Nwaba

    Not about money. It’s about assets.

    And to think, we could’ve had Ben Simmons.

    Seriously?

    CP3 is an ugly, ugly, ugly contract.
    Just because he is more efficient than John Wall does not mean his contract is much better. This team died the moment he signed that bloated contract. Sure, we could have won a few more games by having him over Wall, but to what purpose? To finish 10th in the West? If we aren't a contender, we need to be B-A-D until we can find a genuine star player to build around.
    If you're paying a non-star the max, you aren't a contender.
    Chris Paul is not a star - he can facilitate pretty well still, but he isn't going to the conference finals with Phx, and isn't even their star.

    lol how is this even a surprise.

    He has been a selfish inefficient chucker his whole life.

    Only Rockets fans were idiots to think otherwise.
