We owe Chris Paul another 120 million over 3 years

What type of incompetent gm pays a 34 yo declining player to a supermax contract. Also, to have a big welcome to Houston party for him and having all the rockets fans come to it excited that he is going to be our saviour. The clippers are laughing their heads off right now

 

Our new Ryno contract! I wonder how much he makes from the State Farm commercials. They are some of the best on TV.

 

A season ago, people still worried that Lakers would sign CP3...


And now seems no team want CP3... It changes fast.

 

Im sorry are we not paying capela to be a star? Are we paying gordon to get 9 points?

Was harden good enough? No, but the pecking ofder of blame doesnt start with him

 

I disagree on Capela. He can improve and get better. Chris is frusterating. He played better in game 6 but where was similar desperation throughout the series?

 

Someone that wants to A. dump other players and B. Fill seats with a name.

 

Harden could have gone 12/12 from 3 and finished with 50 and if we lost youd dtill blame him. You’re whole argument is just based on the fact we lost. If steph only scored 25 points instead of 33 in the second half and we won you would be saying harden played pretty good and got the win. You’re entire argument is based around the team result. Harden had 35 points, shot 40 percent from 3, and had 4 steals . He didnt shrink. Rockets got outplayed by a hot shooting warriors team. Steph 33 in the second half. Klay 19 in the first (7. 3s in the game) andre iguodola 5 3s)
Thats why we lost.

 

all i see is hypotheticals. the typical excuses. there are none in these last two games

he absolutely shrunk in the final moments. and this isn't the first time. it is what it is. he isn't that type of player. not everyone can be. the issue is can they get someone here that can be

 

All you see is me making sense and you going overboard and being irrational.

 

not really. its just a bunch of excuses weve come to hear for years that you seem just accustomed to. you can hang onto those for the rest of harden's career if you want to. I won't be. certainty not after what ive just witnessed once again

 

It's time for Fertitta to get advice from outside of the organization (heck, I would call up the GS owner) on how to improve the Rockets.

 

Paul for Westbrook straight up.

Go!

 

He deserves it after all the great years on the Hornets and the Clippers.

 

I think signing CP3 was absolutely the right move. The last 2 years have been disappointing but I'd rather have the last 2 years of hope than 2 years where you're not even expecting to compete for the championship right from the get-go. Rockets took this historic Warriors team to the brink last year and played them tough this year. A few balls or shots going our way here or there and the outcome would have been different. The Houston Rockets are this generation's Utah Jazz to Michael Jordan's Bulls. They never won a championship coz they just kept running into the historic Bulls team. Other than Lebron, you can replace CP3 with some other free agent possibilities and it still wouldn't have gotten the job done. Harden is right. It's not like they're losing to scrubs. The other team is just clearly more talented and more experienced. People think it's all about heart but it's not. You can be as hardworking or put in as many hours in the gym as you want but the inches to the goal is determined by talent not just heart and determination.

 

Sac Kings actually have a clue now. Vlade is not picking up that phone.

 

I would say that Harden should be the most depressed out of all of us because he's going to have to accept his reality but... knowing Harden, he's probably happy he got paid and gets to spend that money partying every day.

If Harden still cares about winning any rings, he should be asking to be traded this summer but I know he's perfectly content with not winning.

 

Feels much better when I read it as:

"We owe Chris Paul 3 million over 120 years."

Try it yourself.

 

We can be happy for him, he got out of the 2nd round last year!
