Paul would be crazy to go to Houston.
They must have had a falling out. Otherwise, you don't agree to trade Bev two weeks before the start of free agency.

Rubio stans on ST will melt down.
If the Rockets trade away/salary dump all those guys, how many max free agents can they sign?
The Rockets are such a franchise.
Morey sucks as a GM.
They have no roster stability.
They don't draft very well.
If they never received Harden, and Jordan didn't retire the franchise would be a joke.
Beverly would be great. just under 6 million a year for two more years. I'm sure teams are blowing up Houston for them. Beverly I feel is too strong of a personality to mesh with Harden wanting to be the final say on the floor. They're definitely going all in on harden centered gambit. It got them close last year, and they probably would have matched up with the Warriors pretty well if they had faced them. This off-season is pretty awesome so far. Can't wait for draft night.
Who would be the PG? Hardin thinks he is. They'd have to change up their game.
One. Barely.
Georgie be gone.
Are you serious? How is he going to play next to Harden?
Hill, Green, Kawhi, LMA, Dedmon
Murray, Hanga, Anderson, Bertans, Lee
Not a perfect rotation (someone out of the three perimeter bench guys needs to be a top shooter), but probably the best D in the league. Gets worst if you sub Pau for Dedmon, though, even if Gasol remains a bench player.
CP3 would play the point and Harden would go back to his customary 2-guard position. Harden at the point is one of the reasons the team has struggled. I give them credit for when players don't work out, they're not afraid to make a trade to free up cap space. The Spurs will continue to throw out the same garbage player that doesn't fit time and time again until he leaves for nothing. In RJ's case, they gave him a wink, wink extension.
Lee and Dedmon are not coming back tbh
Again, Paul would be crazy to gamble on that situation.
I agree on Dedmon with Pau not being traded. But I'm pretty sure Lee will come back. He opted out because it was illogical to opt in. With the Spurs having the room exception, I could see him staying.
In Lee's case, that's a good thing. I've never seen a forum go monkey balls over a marginal player like that since Gary Neal.
So looks like Pop may be getting back his long lost son, George.
I think they draft pretty well
Capella, Harrell, and Decker all seem like solid picks
Sort of what Pop did by putting Kawhi on J.J in 2015. It makes plenty of sense to do so.
Non shooting PGs apparently giving Dallas pause
That Rondo trade was bad; gave up a first plus Crowder and Wright ( who got traded for another first round pick) they essentially traded 2 firsts and a solid 3 and D player for half a season of Rondo.
The Spurs were like the Rockets once, when they kicked out a 6'10" do-it-all guy in Hedo for failing to hit his 3s in the playoffs. Perhaps they've regretted that decision. So they gave chance after chance to a 6'10" do nothing at all guy in Bonner despite failing to hit his 3s playoffs after playoffs.
They had a better season last year with Hardin at PG, and a much worse season with him as a shooting guard. He's a ball dominant player. So is Paul. I don't see the marriage working out.
I agree he would be a big upgrade if healthy. Numbers from Locked On Jazz:
92nd percentile pick and roll production in the league.
EFG% when players went under on screens: 91%, #1 in NBA.
He'd space the floor for Kawhi, be able to cover twos. Not a perfect player, but an upgrade for sure.
