This move didn't make a difference for the Rox with Chris getting injury. I say this because Chris is an injury prone player that you can't count on to stay healthy during the playoffs. The last few years have proven this.
His body choked on him preemptively
One ing injury. 15 pages of comments were gonna be bumped tonight if not for that
It deserves to be bumped for his injury. You can't excuse it since he's injury prone. What good is it to be good all year and then not be able to be effective during the playoffs which has been the case with Chris in the past.
Do you give Paul his massive deal?
The injury risk is real every year, it seems inevitable every time..
Rockets owner wants to keep the band together:
unless you're getting lebron, you have to.
They essentially have to go for it now. Unless they can get a better piece, their window of opportunity is in the next 2-3 years when Harden is in his absolute prime before a reasonable decline for a SG will begin, the Warriors seem vulnerable, and no super-team is on the horizon.
If they ever win a le with Harden as their centerpiece they have to go all in now and keep what they have and try to add to it.
Well turned out Paul didn’t make the rockets any bette because he can’t play when it mattered.
Bump. Though paul wasnt able to prove or disprove in game 6 and 7 ...The horrid shooting by Boston and Houston especially corriborated my last sentence.
going back, i had questions how it would work but praised Morey on the deal but questioned Cp3's health ...but said it would hurt Harden Mvp wise...
but since he stayed on ball so much it did not ...
overall i called this correctly sans MVP

The Bulls won 70 with 2 to spare. They lost to every EC contender once, the Pacers twice, and played all of them on the road twice, just as they would have the year before. Had they played the Celtics and Nets four times instead of three, it'd be an extra win. They played more games against the expansion Raptors than them and LOST more games combined.
The Canada teams had 8 players at the very most that would have cracked anyone else's rotation. No one with a high enough draft pick would have been made appreciatively better by adding Stodamire. Big Country may have made someone a playoff contender but that's about it. Yet they only managed to go 5-1 against those teams. Let's say they go 3-3 against a slightly meatier schedule instead of the expansion teams. They still go 70-12. They still win 70 games. The very fewest they win is 68 but I doubt it.
Your argument is weak, admit that the '96 Bulls are great in any era.
It's not moot if you're implying they weren't a legit 65-win team. They could have won more if they didn't have everything wrapped up.
So losing to every contender is a good thing when my argument is that they padded their record with weak teams? Yiu just proved my point.
They didn’t.
They PLAYED each of those contenders about as many times as they would have without the Raps and Grizz in the league. They played the 13 other WC teams twice in '95 and '96 and the Grizzlies games would be transferred to the Nets and Celtics, who both sucked that year. And apparently, those expansion teams weren't automatic wins for the best team of all-time, so all things considered, if the Raps and Grizz didn't exist that year, putting their few legit rotation players on other teams and six fewer apparently easier wins, I give the field two wins. Whoopteedoo, the Bulls still win 70 games.
They also won 65 games, so you can't have your cake and eat it too. They may not be one of the best teams of all time but they were a legit 65-win team.
They also played much lesser teams because of expansion. Not only the raptors and the grizz, but other teams were weakened because they lost rotational players in the draft.
The pistons were destroyed from those four expansion teams in the late 80s early 90s allowing the bulls to make it.
Not saying the bulls suck but their 72 win record was inflated.
Never said otherwise.
You're just hard headed, aren't you? They had maybe five good rotation players combined. There was Big Country and Damon Stodamire...who would have gone to another bad team in the NBA Draft if the Raps and Grizz didn't exist. That leaves Doug Christie, Greg Anthony, Tony Massenberg, Tracy Murray and maybe Blue Edwards. None of those players were gonna make teams much better. You act like they took away Hall-of-Farmers or even perennial All-Stars.
Just quit while you're ahead and quit hating, those Bulls teams are great in any era. If it wasn't an expansion year, maybe they win 70, it's a what-if we can't definitively answer. Heck maybe they win more, they clearly didn'the show up for Toronto one game.
So the records were inflated and this they were overrated.
When did I say they weren’t going to be a great team in another era?
