    Morey hates midrange shots too.

    D'Antoni has been running the same offense for decades. He's not changing anything.
    CP3 isn't suddenly going to stop doing one of the things he's elite at.

    what an awkward fit. This is gonna be the dwert-led Lakers all over again.
    Nah. He'll play off the ball a little more and save energy for D, get more efficient shots, and shooters will flock to play with him and the Harden.

    Then it will be a beautiful cluster . I don't see how Harden, Paul and D'Antoni's offense are going to work together. Paul or Harden alone works...but with players that need the ball it's going to fall flat.

    So Paul is going to play off the ball? Now I've heard it all.

    It's been stated that CP3 wants that.

    Either one of them can play off the ball more. I'm sure they'll figure it out.

    I'm conflicted, I mean I don't want KL prime wasted, CP3 has high basketball IQ , offense , leadership, things that were lacking in the WCF

    It will be interesting how he adapts. He definitely has the shot to play off the ball, but am completely unaware if he has ever done this even in limited situations. One option would be 30 minutes a game with only 15 minutes overlapping with Harden. I can see ways to make this work

    He's 32 undersized- so the loss of Beverly will really dent their D even more.

    Given the Clipps basically got junk and a late 1st rounder sort of shows you his market. This move definitely doesn't move the Rockets past GS, and possibly not past the Spurs. I think short term they may improve, but long term this could have serious consequences...

    Never wanted him, as I've been saying for months..too old and his style of play helps role players but hurts other stars..can't even imagine how 2 of the 3 most ball-dominant players in the league will fit together..

    To be fair, I highly doubt he was ever going to join the Spurs, regardless of what reports will say..Spurs will never attract a superstar player, tbh..the best they'll ever do is unmarketable All-Stars like Aldridge or drafting quiet, non-flashy guys like Duncan and Kawhi..
    Typical Spurs Off-season

    Time for David Stern to step in the ring, hit Adam Silver over the head with a chair, and veto the trade.

    Yeah...and Aldridge was cool with deferring to Leonard too.

    Paul may say that and might do it for a bit, but as you said...he's not giving up who he is. He'll revert back to dribble, dribble, dribble eventually.

    He expends less energy. And even if he doesn't, Harden can play off the ball too.

    They likely won't, but we'll agree to disagree.

    I agree. People are overthinking this.

    Either way, it was a no-brainer for them considering was they gave up.

    Spur fan trying to downplay this move by Houston, this definitely puts them past the Spurs next season. Harden played with westbrook so he knows how to play with a ball dominant guard. They pretty much upgraded their PG to a star and that's going to make them worse? OK

    This will be a fun bump after they go out in the conference semis again next season.

    Guess he did us a favor, Spurs need to show up at Hill or Lowry's bedroom window with a boombox and wearing their hearts on their sleeve.

    They also need to wear a shirt saying "Hey, Kawhi's not coming here to recruit, so please sign with us."
