Chris Paul traded to the Houston Rockets

[ThaRealness]

Real talk... this is actually a loss for the rockets

2 really good role-players for a declining fringe superstar whose assets overlap with Harden's?

Kevin O'Connor on the ringer NBA podcast broke down how and why the trade had to happen today. Needles to say more is a genius.

Pretty much they had to make the trade by July 1st, and that by using all those cash trades, it allows the rockets to still have their exceptions

Exactly

#1 worst 1-2 superstar combo in the league when it comes to play styles
#2 giving up 2 very good role players, including Bev whos a hard nose defender (Hou d already sucked WITH him)
#3 CP3 aint even chasing rings at this point (he would be in SA if so) instead NBA is now just buddyball...

It's been a running joke but in all seriousness this off-season has been way more entertaining than the playoffs.

As for the trade, Cp3 is a ball dominant pg known for flopping, and Harden is a ball dominant combo guard known for flopping. They might be too perfect for each other

Fam, dem nikkaz gonna run into each other and flop then stare at the refs for a call!!!

minny should make the playoffs even before CP0 left the clippers

of the teams who made it last year the teams with the highest chance to miss this year are:

clippers - no cp0
jazz - if they lose hayward and hill
memphis - need perimeter help bad at the 2 and 3 spots


i see minnesota, denver, and maybe the pels making the playoffs if they can get a PG and some competent wings
