Chris Paul to the Rockets

[Hambombs]

This is as good as you can do if you're the clips. For a guy that's set in leaving

 

[Hambombs]

Congrats to rockets fans though. Deadly backcourt

Chris Paul joining a team that beat him. SMH in fake outrage.

I'm shocked. Harden was a borderline MVP playing the pg position. I think the last thing that team needed was a pg. Grab a PF, C, SF, or heck even a SG before a pg. I don't think this makes Houston much better. They better get another big time player. How's their cap look?

As for Paul, I'll bet deandre Jordan feels betrayed after the shit Paul and BG pulled to keep him from signing with the mavs.

Harden can play off the ball again while CP3 is running the offense. I think this is a great fit.

8 players for Chris Paul lmaooo wow

Seems fair to me. I would've demanded more lol.

The Clippers are collapsing faster than Lamar Odom in a brothel.

GOTTA put this place on my bucket list...

Now that the riff raff has moved up North, eh CL?

 

[Vitamike]

I'm intrigued to see how it works. I just think facilitating is a huge strength of harden's game and paying some one else 40 million a year to take over that part of the game is not a wise way to spend money. I just don't see Harden playing to the best of his abilities without the ball constantly in his hands.

They are saying CP3 plays off the ball.

Why would you take the ball out of the hands of a MVP season runner up?

The convo for the CP3 to Houston begins around the 4 min mark.

@The Klaw
Although I think it's a waste of money to pay harden that much when you have CP3, Harden playing off the ball could work. CP3 playing off the ball is asinine.

A great trade for the Clippers.

Actually they improved via the trade with Houston.

 

[GNG]

Well, you can't build around Dj.

Gotta get some shooters with them capspace.

Just please....let Blake go.

I agree that the Clippers will be better without Blake.

To collapse, they would have needed to ascend first.

CP3 came out the same time D Will did I believe. How many years he got left?

He is 32.

 

[SJ76]

He is 32.

Too bad D Will is washed up at about the same age

This move feels like a Jerry West move and a lesson on why coach as GM is rarely a good idea.

Apparently, the sticking point in CP3 re-signing was that he wanted a 5 year deal and the Clippers were only willing to give him 4.

I think if it's up to Doc, CP3 gets his 5th year and is still a Clipper because Doc cares about his guys and doesn't want to see them leave. West is able to leave any emotions out of it and understand that, like he said, "The right move isn't always the popular one."

If they can add a couple more players they might have a chance to compete. One thing was for sure, they were never winning anything if they had to count on Harden showing up in a big game. That dude is ready to get to the strip clubs come playoff time.

 

[jontaejones]

Blake Griffin might as well go there as well.
