Nope. We all have our things, this is yours. Let's see if you're a last word freak too.
Oh here we go. And what is this "thing" you're talking about? Cause if it's calling you out on your crap...I'm guilty all day!

He's not. But, he can opt out.

But, if he wanted to go to the Rockets, he could pull a Cp3 and opt in to be traded.

Why would Gilbert agree to that?

Don't be defensive. I'm just reminding everyone here what Houston's owners said.

I'm not defensive at all, I'm just telling you it was a stupid take and diminishes your own team. Every single team is building and gunning for Golden State. It's a compliment. Nobody is trying to beat shitty teams.

Well that's what I'm saying...to do a sign & trade he'd have to extend, right?

If he opts out, Yes.

But, that's not his only option.

He's still got a year left on his deal.

Houston has no capspace.

It's virtually impossible to get him with his full salary and not decimate that entire roster.

And I'm just pointing out it didn't work. And CP3 is hurt EVERY post season so that was a fail. Ask Clipper fans about that.

Yep, I give mad respect to Morey and Houston. When other teams are biding their time waiting for the Warriors to fade/breakup/whatever, he said fuck it let's go after them right now. And it came within a CP hammy of working. Best team the Ws have faced in this run. Although obviously the Cavs 2016 team was good too LOL

Oh gotcha. I'm assuming he's opting out to get more money like he's done every season.

‘16 Cavs were the 3rd best team the Dubs have faced in this run.

‘18 Rockets
‘16 Thunder
‘16 Cavs

The Rockets further than I thought in my opinion - I said from the beginning that the Warriors had to many weapons and with Chris Paul in that series - then the Warriors would have had to rain threes again instead of grinding it out

I honestly thought the Rockets played harder consistently the entire series. The Warriors talent just took over in key moments in all the games they won.

I'm sure he wants his raise...lol

But, he'd have to prioritize.

Does he want his full max now?

Or

Does he want to go to the Rockets and wait another year?

Sixers are the only top 3 playoff team that can sign him outright without losing much.

The biggest key to me is they have three all star players - I think you said 4, so obviously I am missing one - but they have Draymond Green and Iguodala - so their entire starting line up is stacked - At the best, the Rockets have two - Ariza and Capella are good players, but if you match Durant to Hardin and Curry to Chris Paul, you still have three players that are twice what Capella and Green are -

Yes, Paul had nothing to do with us getting to a game 7 on the WCF this year. :rolleyes2:

Draymond is an all star caliber player. At least in my opinion. His game is just unconventional.

He's injury prone. Simple. As. That. Furthermore ya'll are lucky he didn't get injured last round against Utah.
