Chris Paul traded to the Houston Rockets

[Sonic Boom of the South]

Now the clippers could go after Jon B

Rocket fans... how do you envision these two meshing? Who's game has to change/adapt the most?

Sacrifices will have to be made.

Harden can play the way he played his entire career before last year

What could the Rockets possibly see in Quarterman?
Good size but didn't show much even at LSU

They just want the non guaranteed contracts as it gives them flexibility in moves. They can use them to take on salary to teams looking to drop salary. They can guarantee the contracts to take them over the cap which would then open up mid level exception. Or they can just use them to make contracts work on the Paul trade or another one.

Two Choke Artists in the same backcourt

One Choke Artist made the biggest shot in his former franchises history

[backbreaker65]

Just catching the news, and all I could think was

Jerry West, doesn't think Chris Paul is that guy.

 

[tremonthustler1]

I thought u have to be drafted by the team?

I read he was still able to get $200 mil, but I don't even know all the particulars to all this so we'll see

Nothing. Hes going to Clippers in the deal. Rockets grabbing non guaranteed contracts (like quarterman) to ship in the deal and stay over the cap.

That way they get their MLE this summer. Otherwise they'd be viewed as a team working with cap space.

Morey playing chess

He was traded, he'll be able to sign a 5 year, $200M+ deal in Houston.

Blake Griffin is a shell of the athlete he was

 

[MikelArteta]

I can only speak for what he did and not what he had no control over

I bet their W-L record takes a hit.
