Rockets Trade for Chris Paul

[Paulius]

On paper cp3 harden melo looks nice of course but that doesnt mean anything

Warriors are one of a kind team with players that fit exactly what they do, and other teams trying to copy that just wont work the same

Cp3 harden melo are three ball stoppers , i just dont see it but we'll see.
Hope it works out

CP3 is a ball stopper... really?

CP3 is a ball stopper... really?

He's very ball dominant and very methodical in his approach

I'll never doubt D'Antoni bringing the most out of a point guard from what he's done in his coaching resume
 
• Two-time MVP Steve Nash
• Linsanity
• Raymond Felton's first stint in NYK, pre-Melo
• James Harden this year
 
Anyone who doesn't think Chris Paul will do well here is just being naive

Bosox, this is gonna be such a head to head battle between Riley and Ainge on July 1st. Unless someone trades for Blake before that

The tough thing about it is that we're both going after Blake and Hayward, with no overwhelming preference for either. So you have to convince both of them that they're the number one target, with the other franchise saying the exact same thing at the same time.
 
Like who do you meet first? Does Miami meet with Gordon Hayward first, knowing that Blake could go to Boston then first and sign without going to Miami? I assume the Celtics plan (logically) is to send Ainge, IT, Jaylen, and if they can Pierce to go meet with Blake while they send Stevens, Horford, and Wyc Grousbeck to meet with Hayward

Its not about cp3 doing well

Its about harden doing really well last year and now them getting cp3

So now that i think of it like this its actually good for the clippers for this deal

this squad wasnt working. get rid of everything and now have 3 maxes available for the FA class that has Lebron, Boogie, Westbrook, PG13, etc

it was just reported bron would never play for the clippers

This idea that russ is leaving is hilarious

 

[bosoxlover12]

How is it hilarious?
 
Born and raised in Long Beach, went to UCLA for college... literally lived in Los Angeles for the first 19 years of his life.
 
Yet it's hilarious that he'd leave to play on a max deal in LA with Boogie and Paul George next year, because he's staying on a capped-out OKC squad that is at best a 5 seed and first round exit?

and the guy's super into fashion

 

[Pugz]

fixed

 

[Big Bid'Ness]

My boy Darrun Hillard is moving around lol.

 

[Paulius]

Its hilarious because hes not leaving okc

 

[buzzy]

Not sure what makes you so certain
 
Another first round exit and all of a sudden he's the next Chris Paul or Paul George. Shit can happen real fast.

 

[BNC]

He's very ball dominant and very methodical in his approach

That is completely different from a ball stopper, Carmelo and Derozan are ball stoppers, Chris will move the ball if its the right play. 
 
Yes they're ball dominant but that doesn't mean they all stop the ball and can't fit. I think they could make it work offensively, defensively they would be a disaster though

After dribbling and dribbling for 20 seconds

Not sure what makes you so certain

Youll see in a week or so

 

[buzzy]

See what

Another first round exit and all of a sudden he's the next Chris Paul or Paul George. Shit can happen real fast.

Because Paulius lives in some fantasy land where all his favourite players are loyal and would never do something like look out for their best interests

 

[Paulius]

Lol we'll continue this convo in a week or two [emoji196]
