Chris Paul and James Harden now hate each other and there was bad blood in game 6

Good thing they are locked up at 70 million a year or so.

Paul is the guy to get rid of but nobody wants him.

    Somehow Harden wasn't the guy who disappeared. It’s over for us?

    Hard to say. The west is getting weaker. There's a reason Lebron came out here.

    He took 3 shots in the 4th quarter game 5 and had 5 turnovers in the 4th quarter of game 6. His overall stats look fine but he’s not a closer and that’s why they lose.

    Looks like the series just started in the East.

    I don't find either of these teams all that compelling - but Kawhi is a bad bad man. Even on one leg.

    And Kristen Ludlow has a nice rack.

    Too many years left on CP3’s atrocious contract to get a realistic trade. Houston should give it one more chance with the current core, with some tweaks to the role players. Then blow it up next offseason

    The Pistons traded for Blake Griffin and his stupid contract, I could see someone falling for Chris Paul.

    But if Houston want to win a championship Harden should be the first to go.

    I'm afraid that someone will be the Lakers

    They'll go after Jimmy Butler and Chris Paul and claim victory
    Of course LeBron will trade for Paul.

    In the long tradition of other Laker dynasties.

    This isn’t far fetched

    Lakers have cap room

    I don’t see ANYBODY signing there as s big name unless we are talking Kyrie

    And we know LBJ is calling the shots there

    Kyrie is fine with me especially if they can swing a trade for AD

    And I am not convinced that Kawhi wants the Clippers not the Lakers. If you're going to take a 13% state tax hit you do it for the Lakers or you play in Texas or Florida

    Lebron is recruiting

    What is amazing is how Lebron lost 81% of his aura this year. From give him 4 guys and he makes the Finals to he's washed up and wants to produce movies.

    Kawhi hates media attention. He’s never going to sign for a team like the Lakers or Knicks

    This lakers team is an absolute shit show. Ownership is probably overrated in general when signing free agents, but the situation with the lakers is really bad. They probably get cp3 and and some one else and bounce early in the playoffs next year Lbj overestimated his pull and worth.

    Dump Ah Capella, Eric Gordon, and Tucker to make room for Jimmy Butler is the big rumor

    You want to talk about a shitshow

    Worth a reality TV show though

    Getting rid of your 2nd best player for a perennial loser is a very Roocket like move.

    Need to bring Carmello back to really get the ratings up.

    Lamar Odom is tanned, rested and ready too.

    It is stupid to say the least, especially with GS on hiatus. If they do stand pat, they are my favorite to win the West. I'd bench Chris Paul and give Gordon most of his minutes. Harden wants to bring the ball up anyway.
