They gave up basically Bev and a bunch of and got CP3 in return. They also just got Long and a pick in next year's draft from Philly for nothing.
They'll be fine.
It also could be a blessing in disguise for Spurs, he will be the Rockets problem now and they had to give up some players, draft picks to make it work. That is of course if Spurs try and do something this off season. Hopefully CP3 can stay healthy for them because that would be a terrible deal for CP3 if they did that to him.

yeah, seems like he's only going to be there for one year
Is Melo now going to Houston to follow CP3? Then LeBron next year? Did PATFO miss out? I hate the idea of the Superteam if it's the other team, but if to the Spurs why not? I'm not sure if Spurs can beat that in the near future unless Murray drastically improved both offense and defensively, plus we get an Anthony Davis earliest next year if he demands trade.
typical spurfan with gy takes likei never wanted cp3 can't pay him at 37
if you're worried about what cp3 is going to cost in five years it means you don't think the warriors can be beaten before five years which is dumb take itself because wardell is already 30 and they will loose klay to the salary cap in no more than a year or two. not to mention kiwi will be out of his prime in five years so it's not like you were going to contend with him as your number one piece at that age anyways, not a good enough offensive player to do that.
paul is one of the best shooters in the league at age 32 and neither that or his court vision will deteriorate even at age 37.
stars attract stars, kiwi and cp3 are much more enticing for a third star than kawhi by himself and since he doesn't talk to other players or play in the olympics he'd have no chance of bringing in other stars though friendship especially given his autistic tendencies.
keep licking PAFTO's balloon knot and convincing yourself that signing one year younger Hill to 4/80 or sticking with role players like Murray and re-siging TOSBs like Gasol gives spurs any better shot in that time span
meanwhile Houston is gearing up to sign a big 3 will Milsap or George which will relegate spurs to 5th seeds for the foreseeable future...
Cam's the fourth-best QB in the NFCS. Sad.
I know you're a troll and all, but you're right here...Spurs won't do anything in the foreseeable future if they keep retreading roads they've already gone down. If they want to win during Kawhi's prime, they need to make moves now.

Houston isn't done.
CP3 didn't choose HOU over SA just because of Harden.
Patience people.
i won't be surprised if the banana boat follows.
Link?
I was fine with adding Aldridge, not sure where you're getting this Paul from, though, been against adding him since the off-season began..making up, as usual

The Spurs dodged a bullet, tbh, just like the Clippers did. Choke-P is a career loser who isn't worth a fraction of the money he's demanding, especially at his age. I still see the Spurs winning more games and going further in the playoffs than the Rockets.
So Rox won't make the playoffs? Cause Spurs are first round exits for sure.
@ Clipper Nation thinking the Clipps got something good for CP0

Got to hoard that precious '18 cap space though because we all know there's a prime James or Durant ready to parachute in . . .
Lakers > Clipps forevaaaaaaaa!
KD ain't leaving the Dubs. -20 points for even saying that dumb shiiiiiiiiiiiit!

I agree HOU is making moves, but they don't have many other assets to land a big player. Bev was a key part, so was Lou and Harrell. They are all gone.
I don't know, other than free agency, what other star they can get.
But even with no other moves, they look damn good. The players the lost are all fully replaceable (and some are replaced already by CP with Lou/Bev).
"Good"? Not that good. Just a lot better than the alternative of getting nothing at all.
Also, with the benefit of hindsight, this CP3 type deal should have been so obvious. We knew 2 things: 1) CP leaving LAC was a legit possiblity & 2) He abused his power as a players union president basically to get that new contract in his favor
So knowing those two things, him leaving LAC would only happen via trade since we know he was damn well not going to give up that money. Not only that, TX should have been obvious since not only is getting the same deal he could get in LAC a big deal, but getting it in TX MEANS EVEN MORE MONEY FOR THAT SAME DEAL.
Apparently you've never heard of sarcasm.KD ain't leaving the Dubs. -20 points for even saying that dumb shiiiiiiiiiiiit!
Who cares? They thought outside the box, got Paul to take $11M less in 1st season (something I said Spurs should try to do a few weeks ago) and agree to trade, in order to maintain as strong a roster as possible.
Anderson is a terrible defensive fit versus Warriors, but to land a top 6-8 player, still maintain arguably your 5 best players (who all play different positions) and still have access to MLE, BAE and a trade exception? Outstanding work.
At the very least, they've vaulted past Spurs, destroyed Clippers and health willing, secured WCF spot. They're now a Curry or Durant injury away from a championship becoming a possibility.
Melo and PG are one year rentals. Teams know that and aren't offering much for either. Gordon/Ariza should be able to get it done.. for either.
They still have no edge of any team due to the CP3 trade in a PG trade. Murray is far greater than any asset they could offer. BOS has far better assets. Even Kevin Love is more valuable.
Melo, sure, but that is on the buyout market.
Did you not read what I said? I said they look damn good even if they don't make any other moves and you proceeded to act like I was arguing against themApparently you've never heard of sarcasm.
