    Let me clarify...this was our ONLY move. With the window closing you pull this without thinking twice. I'm just playing devil's advocate and skepticism after I saw us with Ty.

    Paul did us a huge solid. Now we can trade ryno and sign Griffin or go after millsap and still keep Eric.

    Carlsbad Caverns on Sunday, Walnut Canyon on Monday, Grand Canyon yesterday, and Chris Paul today? Vacation is a success.

    The trade allows us to add a 3rd big piece by moving Anderson.

    I'm in shock...utter shock.

    The good thing is CP3 hasn't signed here without reassurances that another star is coming

    possible

    George
    Millsap
    Boogie?

    That's not a guarantee. He might wanna experiment with Harden first and see what happens.

    Got to give Morey credit for trying to upgrade the team.

    After next yr do we have his bird rights and thus able to offer him the largest contract?

    Not to be greedy, but there has to be more coming. Gotta believe that Morey and company are truly all in this year.

    Bev will be missed, but you HAVE to make this deal.

    Gonna miss Bev, but this is a GREAT deal for the Rockets, no doubt. Now bring in 3rd banana - make it Paul George and we go all in for one season with a potential total dismantle after one season?

    Wow. Didn't believe it at first.

    Sign of even better things to come? Harden and Paul must be recruiting other players together.
