CP3 should be the first domino we trade this offseason...

yup go back to harden being surrounded by low ceiling limited players. and then when the postseason comes around, playoff harden reappears just like every year. home in the 1st round it is. cool, great plan

 

Nope. I only move cp3 if it involves a superstar

 

For better or for worse we are locked in with James and CP3

right now its looking like its for worse.

Hopefully Morey can work his magic and we replace MDA with a coach who will save some wrinkles for the playoffs and let other guys do something more than stand in a corner and play defense.

Not trading CP, need to help get him the ring. Shouldn't do him like that im sure he can have a great bounceback season with a whole offseason to get into shape.

 

I like the outside the box thinking. But giving up two future 1sts and two 2nds is a lot to get a good player off your books. This isn't Ryan Anderson we are talking about. That said, i like the outside the box thinking. this is not a terrible alternative for us. And i do think Tristan Thompson is a good player. Just not sure why Cleveland would do it.

 

Great idea trade tristan thompson to the team where his wife's ex plays.
We trade one of the smartest players in nba for the dumbest player in jr smith?

 

Cp3 is a low ceiling guy. He's fkin 34 LOL

 

Even if the rockets were to trade CP3, they’re not entertaining a trade with the Cavs that doesn’t include Kevin Love.

 

Yeah, hardens best friend for the closest thing he has to an enemy. Ok

 

That would be an awful trade. They do that they might as well trade Harden and start over.

 

man rather have CP than KLove thats for sure. think hes more injury prone too lol

 

Dude that trade is trash , not even worth the post bro..

 

I'm not sure this even works according to salary matching rules. CP3 makes 38.5 in 19-20. JRS makes 15.68 and TT makes 18.54 in 1920. Both Cleveland and Houston are over the cap so the salaries have to be within what, 25% of each other? 38.5 vs 34.22. Never mind, the salaries work. Why would Cleveland take on 4.3 million more, when they just got out of tax hell? Wouldn't taking on CP3s money cause them to run the risk of paying the tax repeater penalty at the end of 2021? Or earlier? I haven't checked to see if they'd pay repeater tax in 2020 after this proposed deal.

He's a 14/13 per 36 guy (I'm assuming the Rockets wouldn't even let JR Smith into the building, other than for his agent to pick up his 3.8 million dollar check), and he's an 18.5 expiring guy this upcoming season. Morey could do a lot with that. He could also do a lot with 2 1sts and 2 2nds. Who plays point while James sits?

I can't see either team doing this deal, but IMHO, it's not as utterly ridiculous as I thought at first.

 

Yeah dude. This is the idiocy CF has gotten to. Let's wait until they offer AD for CP3.

 

Very unlikely we trade CP3. The only way we trade CP3 is if he wants to go somewhere else. And another team would have to want him. It's a really bad look if a Morey dumps CP3 someplace he doesn't want to go. I don't see any other team willing to trade for CP3 unless he is totally in agreement. I don't see all these things happening.

It is what it is. I'm not really too bummed out about it. Morey swung for the fences and almost pulled it off last year. The Rockets are one of only a few teams that can say they have been a legit contender in recent years.

I think many Rockets fans are a little spoiled. Man, some of these NBA teams have been down so long you almost forget they are in the league. The Rockets have been relevant far more often than most teams.

Let's wait and see what Morey does. Sometimes a small tweak to the roster can have a major impact.

 

Why do people post these idiotic threads. There is no way anybody will take Paul until he's an expiring contract.
