    Why do you keep making alternicks to agree with yourself? Don't you have friends in real life so you need all this attention from complete strangers in the internet?

    Please tell me this thread is a joke and you are trolling.

    Morey is such a terrible gm that he basically turned an unknown player playing overseas, a 2nd round draft pick (who averaged what, 4mpg?), a mid round first pick who is inconsistent and injury prone, a couple of late first round picks, and Corey freaking Brewer into arguably a top 3 point guard OF ALL TIME.

    gtfoh with this nonsense.

    Guess what CP3 is all those and more. Wiltjer will leave the league in less than 3 years. Harrel and Dekker are basically energy guys without size to play the 4 or skills to play the 3. Combine Bev's defense and Lou's shooting, put them on steroids and you get Chris freaking Paul and you guys are still complaining?
    I do think that an all star forward could have improve the squad more than CP3 could. But as many posters said, you take the best player available and you put pieces around them.

    Stupid post, idgaf about paul george and his diva attitude...

    But i will agree the Rockets gave up wayy to much... could have kept atleast one of dekker and harrell and out draft pick. Clippers were not in a position to bargain, we had all the leverage in the world and ended up paying a little bit too much. A little bit!

    I think the deal would have looked a lot better with a signed extension from CP3 but calling Morey a horrible GM is a little over the top.

    Yeah ok, give up 1st round pick and Pat Bev and think that's paying too much for Chris ****ing Paul :rolleyes:

    Why do you even need to revisit the trade after one year? Can't you tell what the value of a superstar pg is supposed to be? It doesn't matter if CP3 breaks his legs and has to retire 5 months from now it's still a steal when the trade is made NOW.

    We got a top 10 FREAKING PLAYER IN RETURN AND PROBALY A TOP 5 PLAYMAKER IN THE GAMES HISTORY IN HIS FREAKING PRIME IN A SYSTEM WHERE EVEN AVERAGE POINT GUARDS LOOK LIKE GOOD TO VERY GOOD PLAYERS. Example Lin in New York and Kendell Marshall in La........Hell MDA made felton look good. Chris Paul will unleash hell on people this season.

    We have some ungrateful fans.

    Chris Paul checks all the boxes for the Rockets.

    • 2nd facilitator/ball handler to not make Harden be on the court at all times
    • Elite defender to help mask Harden's defensive woes, just like Beverley
    • Great playing on or off the ball, so Harden and Paul can take turns running the offense
    • A leader that has the game and respect to hold Harden and the rest of the team accountable when they are slacking off on the court.

    We gave up 2 players from last years playoff rotation for Chris Paul. That's a steal. We threw in the youth of Dekker, Harrell, and the draft pick but those guys aren't needle movers.

    Stop revising this trade because of what happened with Paul George. The two aren't related.

    -landed harden with players who are irrelevant
    -got Dwight Howard to Houston(and got that team to a conference finals)
    -got CP3 with most of the players not really mattering
    -got k mart and the Knicks first round pick that year(Jordan hill I think) for an old broken t mac
    -not to mention keeping this team afloat after the Tmac-Yao years.

    You know how many teams would kill to have morey? The Knicks for one. What he's done for just being a nerd as Lou will likes to call him, is unbelievable
