Surprised at the negative comments. Got the best pure PG in the league for role players. Gotta take the risk. Morey isn't done.
For me personally, it's all about Beverley. I don't care about Dekker or Lou so much. But I'll miss Pat.

I realize the talent involved in the trade probably made it a no-brainer. But it's going to take watching CP perform at a high level in a Rockets jersey a few times before I let that part sink in. My negative comment (which was no more than simply saying "I don't like it") is an emotional response, not really backed by much in the way of basketball.

Fair enough. I will miss him too. But CP3, holy crap.

Windhorst saying Morey's vision is Paul George and will go hard after him.
Not enough pieces to acquire Paul George via trade. This trade still doesn't get the Rockets under the cap, so Morey must have a move planned for at least one of Anderson/Ariza.

I can't believe we're getting CP3. I thought he was completely sold to the Spurs.

Sounds like his relationship with Harden is pretty strong

At the end of the day, if you can trade role players for Chris Paul you have to do it. But I just don't see how, even with say Paul George, we're going to compete with the Warriors. So in the best case, we've moved into position to make it one round deeper in the playoffs. Not exactly something you can get too hyped about.

Hey, if it wasnt us getting him, it would be San Antonio.

We could at least get CP3 and make us more competitive with SA, or let him go to SA which then distances themselves for us....

Chris Paul needs to get with Harden about growing a beard.

Im gonna miss the hell out of Bev. He's a baller and gives it his all. I really hope Paul can come in and be a valuable asset to this team.

CP growing a Harden beard would really be the icing on the cake for this trade.

I'll be ok with losing Bev if we can somehow sign or acquire a bruiser big who can come off the bench and slap Draymond down.

Any way we can get Deandre?

John Salley just explained that CP3/Harden could work a lot like Steph/Klay as far as who brings the ball up. I guess I do see the merits of two incredible PGs in this system. Could be fun to watch this kind of pace with an additional guy who is also a threat to score running the show.

CP3 catch and shoot 3 PT % was 49% last season. I'm now fully erect.

Morey is a straight up savage. Signed a 4 year extension to remain GM and trades for CP3 a week later. What's next?

I saw a report that Houston was appealing to CP3 because he would get a chance to play off-ball

Gotta expect defensive improvement from Harden too. I buy the argument that he's expending so much energy on offense that he has to hide on D. Now the excuse is little less acceptable. Ball handling and driving take a LOT of energy. Share the load and make some defensive improvements. He was at least average in OKC without the offensive burden.

I have absolutely zero idea what this means but I'm assuming Morey does, and that's all that matters
