    Hmm. PER of 26; an assist to turnover God while being well respected around the league. CP3 all but guarantees a third star coming in the fold.

    PG- Harden
    SG- J.J Reddick
    SF- Gallo
    PF- Milsap
    C - Clint or Onuaku or Hartenstein

    Everyone is getting stuck on these big names, you don't have to sign the biggest names on the market to compete with the warriors, you just have to outscore them

    you just have to outscore them is probably as basic as i've seen anyone try to actually to make a case against something. sorry but this isn't nb2k on ps4. and yeah I 100% disagree with that statement. might as well leave it at that because we'll never come to an agreement as long as you think signing ok players will allow yourself a chance against the true top 3 teams

    Glorified role players ain't getting it done. Teams with multiple stars win championships 9/10 times.

    First, no koolade because I don't see Chris Paul coming to the Rockets.

    HOWEVER.... if Chris Paul does join the Rockets, there is a pretty good chance someone else that is an all star player would join as well.

    Harden is one of the 3-4 best players in the world, and Chris Paul is bonafide. The Rockets were one of the 3-4 best teams in the NBA last year without Chris Paul. If you add him to the mix, the Rockets are likely one of the 2-3 best teams in the league.... also I don't think Paul would come to the Rockets without a good sense someone else substantial would join the mix.

    We couldn't even face the Warriors but we could not outscore the Spurs. And Gallo is a 4.

    says the guy who thinks bringing in JJ reddick, gallo, and millsap is able to compete with the warriors any different than what the rockets have done the last several years.

    all 3 who will be in the 20+ million range btw

    Gallo is a sf that sometimes plays pf, just like Ariza and Dekker. Watch a little more basketball bud

    Okay, my bad. We're going to get CP3 and he's going to recruit LeBron but LeBron is just a superstar and to beat tbe warriors we need a super-duper star. So LeBron will recruit Kobe. But Kobe is only a super-duper star and to beat the warriors we need a uberstar so Kobe is going recruit Michael Jordan. But Jordan is only an uberstar and to beat the warriors we need an uber-duper star so Jordan will recruit Bill Russell. But Russell is only an...

    One step at a time. Get CP3 to commit and Morey can really get to work.

    Your sarcasm is childish. Have a grown up convo.. and your plan is our backup plan. If we strike out, then you go for the B list athletes you mentioned.

    Wait you'd pay him 19 mil to be a non factor? So he worth max but not good enough to contribute to a team committed to doing the only thing he's good at? Can you clarify?
