Lol. Chris Paul. And how is this better for Houston?
Why keep him? Just go into the tank.

Harden and Paul couldn’t even work. One ball hog for another playing to Harden who needs the ball too. Doesn’t solve anything, tbh.

Spurs fan is ready to jump off a building because of Trey Lyles, imagine you are an OKC fan........
160 mil left. Last big contract. That would be 1 ing huge buyout. Even half that..
WB is now on a roster that has shooters / obviously younger and more athletic than cp3.
There's no way OKC does the deal with the expectation that CP3 plays for them. It'll be a surprise if he's not bought out.
If the Spurs still have a good chunk of the MLE left after signing Lyles, they can offer CP3 the most of any team in the league. I wouldn't mind CP3 at all. That would accelerate us having to move Beli to make room.
Do it RC!
They would've been champs last year if Paul didn't go down. They weren't exactly scrubs and it's not like OKC were scrubs when they had Harden and Russ together.
One contract for another. Not sure Houston got the better deal
good thing we're not Houston

So they basically got picks that they’ll have to pawn off to get rid of CP3’s deal. What they SHOULD do is move Gallo now for assets, move Adams with Gallo to get off his crappy deal, and then let CP3 train SGA. Then move him in a year when there are less bad years on the deal.
I don't think OKC buys Paul out unless they can't get out of the tax any other way. They have the assets to move him for an okayish return. They probably can't get a net profit or even break even. But they may get off 50-70 percent of his money by adding in a first or two. They might even get back a worthwhile young player in the exchange.
I think we're safe from PATFO bringing him to the Spurs. With Gasol's money to combine with Mills, where would have been a chance. I don't think they see Paul as an upgrade of DeRozan, especially not enough to trade DeMar or LMA. MAYBE they could have done something around Mills, Bertans and Beli with another filler piece. But obviously, that ship sailed too. Still, if the Thunder can move Paul for any kind of return, that return may find its way to SA in some form. Any Miami deal will likely involve forwards like Winslow or Johnson
Both teams got worse! lol
How many picks has OKC accrued? 23? haha![]()
Is OKC blowing it up? Any way we can trade for Gallo?
Westbrook is on the decline already and he doesn’t make teams better. He’s the ultimate stat padder. There’s a reason why KD left. , Oladipo became an all star once he was traded from OKC. He will take away more shots from a team already relying on Hardens playmaking. I guess we will see how it turns out. Sure the west is wide open now. But this doesn’t exactly make Houston the favorite
This x100
Harden & Westbrook will average 80 ppg combined, but rest of team will never touch the ball.
This has CP3 buyout and signs with Lakers or Clippers written all over it. No one is trading for CP3 but Presti will try and move Paul.
As for Houston this doesn't improve them much still will be a good regular season team and when playoffs start jack up 3's like it's going out of style.
Houston just wanted to get rid of CP3 and they are still stuck with a crappy contract.
Are people really laughing at the Rockets and Thunder?
Rockets got the only way to trade Paul away. And the Thunder, in exchange for Westbrook, got Chris Paul and 4 first round picks. Now compare that to what we got for Kawhi, the best ing player in the entire World.
