it's being reported that cp3 really liked idea of going to spurs (obv) but liked idea of sharing pg duties w/ harden better

lol

although if we're being honest this is all being set up for team banana boat next season

So they ship the only guy who can guard Westbrook and replace him with an aging Paul.

Sounds legit.

Houston is still a star big man away from being a real contender, but they gave nothing of real value up. It's a move you have to make if you're Morey.

I don't see how he gets that last piece though.

Bizarre trade...they set up the team to have Harden play PG/control the ball, and then they go trade a bunch of decent players for a PG?

Analytics gone wrong somewhere in here...

CP3 and Houston hate winning.

It's sad that a bunch of basement dwelling losers with boners in their sweatpants and make better decisions than most NBA teams.

Paul is an absolute great fit for Houston. A 2nd round ceiling superstar added to a bunch of 2nd rd ceiling role players

Smart trade for LAC to clear up cap and get rid of an aging star.

RaceBannon

Profile in Courage award to the LA media for now pointing out that CP left because Austin Rivers was favored by daddy and it caused issues.

If you wonder why we? know that CP is a fucking loser this will give you a clue. You're a superstar (allegedly) and you're blaming your failure on a benchwarmer?

CP3 could have made the Timberwolves or the Bucks legit. Both teams have good young bigs that need a real PG to lead them. He'd probably do great in SA. But Houston is just FS.

This won't work out well
