Rockets traded LouWill, Patrick Beverly, and Sam Dekker for Chris Paul

I just can't help but laugh out loud at DeAndre Jordan being suckered by CP3 to stay in LA

Hadn't even thought about that. Serves him right for doing Dallas like that

Parsons's last redeeming quality is his Twitter game

We move Harden back to his natural spot and ball out

Latest name thrown around is Paul Milsaps. That would make a legit big 3!! Make it happen!

Seemed like Harden has the most success being ball dominant...which is Paul's thing too

I think they'll end up switching on and off the ball

Biggest advantage for Houston is they can stagger their minutes to where one of the 2 is always on the floor. They won't lose their offensive edge / style when Harden sits. They can also rest both guys to keep fresh.

Big get for Houston to me.

Apparently, Austin Rivers was a big issue for CP3 in Clipperland.

Paul's relationship with Doc Rivers started to deteriorate rapidly after the Clippers acquired Austin Rivers.

But what really solidified Paul's dissatisfaction with Doc was a proposed trade involving Carmelo Anthony last season. New York offered Carmelo and Sasha Vujacic to the Clippers in exchange for Jamal Crawford, Paul Pierce and Austin Rivers, a deal to which Rivers ultimately said no. That event led Paul to feel that keeping his son on the roster was more important to Doc than improving the team. So, ultimately, Paul lost both trust and faith in Doc. As one league executive put it, "Chris despises Doc."

At least it closes the gap and gives the Rockets a fighting chance to battle it out with the Spurs and Warriors. Who knows what would happen then.

Status quo wouldn't even have gotten the Rockets pass the Spurs.
Texags is garbage

As a Rockets fan, I'm glad Morey is giving it his best shot to at least try to compete. In this day and age, don't think tanking and stockpiling draft picks is the way to go. It's not likely we can take them down, but love knowing we're at least attempting to make a run at them. Can't help but admire how proactive Mr. Morey is.
