Valhalla Posted June 28, 2017 Author Share Posted June 28, 2017 I don't think it really makes Houston that much better unless another move is coming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valhalla Posted June 28, 2017 Author Share Posted June 28, 2017 How fun is it going to be to watch Paul's face when the Spurs eliminate the Rockets in the second round lol. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

topher805 Posted June 28, 2017 Share Posted June 28, 2017 Rockets were already guard heavy. Needed frontcourt help for Capella. Also gave up too much for him...Glad we have him, but don't like the move...Blake coming too in FA? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh, and then there's this: @FletcherWDSU: Stephen A. Smith reporting that if Carmelo Anthony receives a buyout from the NY Knicks, he'll head to Houston to join Harden and CP3.

topher805 Posted June 28, 2017 Share Posted June 28, 2017 They need another superstar and it has to be in the frontcourt. Wanted Hayward, but that isn't going to happen. Maybe Millsap? I want absolutely no part of Carmelo. Maybe Aldridge comes? But it will seems like too many chiefs in that pow wow... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coach Rab Posted June 28, 2017 Share Posted June 28, 2017 That's a lot of mouths to feed with the way Harden likes to throw the ball at the rim... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coach Rab Posted June 28, 2017 Share Posted June 28, 2017 Houston should try to get someone like Mbah a Moute or Thaddeous Young if they want to be a real contender... those are guys that don't have to score and excel at Defense... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valhalla Posted June 28, 2017 Author Share Posted June 28, 2017 Deandre Jordan should feel the most irked. They basically locked him in a house to keep him from signing with Dallas and now all three of them (Paul, Blake, Reddick) will not be in LA next season. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valhalla Posted June 28, 2017 Author Share Posted June 28, 2017 "The relationship between Chris Paul and Doc Rivers began to deteriorate when the Los Angeles Clippers traded for Austin Rivers. Paul and other members of the Clippers felt Rivers didn't treat his son the same way as he did the rest of the players on the team. When Doc Rivers decided not to trade for Carmelo Anthony in a trade that would have included Austin Rivers, Paul's position on the matter solidified as he viewed the Rivers as putting family over team. "Chris despises Doc," said one league executive. This move also gives Paul the ability to become a free agent during the same offseason as LeBron James in 2018. The Clippers traded for Austin Rivers in 2015 and re-signed him in the 2016 offseason on a three-year, $35 million deal." http://basketball.realgm.com/wiretap/246546/Chris-Paul-Lost-Faith-In-Doc-Rivers-Due-To-How-He-Favored-Austin-Rivers-Over-Team 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do it like Golden State. They have 3 scorers and a stable of defenders and role players. I think that's where Cleveland messed up with Love. Get guys on the wing that hang with them.

He choose dressing up in women's clothes and playing with CP3 was better than keeping his word. Too bad. I think Dallas came out ahead with Noel, Smith and Barnes instead. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrBuddyGarrity Posted June 29, 2017 Share Posted June 29, 2017 Boston won't trade for any star. They just like having "assets". Why trade for a rental? That's stupid. PG came out and said he wanna play for the Lakers, why be stupid and put trust in a player that came out and said that? Can't give up pieces for an unknown short term situation that's hustling backwards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
