The delicate relationship between Houston Rockets stars James Harden and Chris Paul has been termed “unsalvageable” and the star players want a divorce, league sources told Yahoo Sports.


Paul still pissed about his kitchen.

You forgot to put Kevin Love and Cleveland into the mix.

Chris Paul is going to go down as one of the greatest all time loser guys in the NBA. All the greats without rings at least made the finals at some point in their career. Paul's career high point was being injured while his team lost to the Warriors.

Your trade returns Love and Wiggins to where it all started...would be an ironic trade.

His career high point was turning over control of game 7 of the WC semis to a guy who played in the Russian league the next season.

I’d pay to see that, but there is another possibility.

He take a buyout then goes to the Lakers.


Given his injury history and likely salary demands, I think that helps tank their chances.

CP3 got traded to a better situation with the clippers than the one AD just got traded to.

I figured as much but who is going to trade for that shite?

No contract of that size leaving brings back anything the Rockets actually want. Even non-guaranteeds and expirings like JR Smith.

Very few, if any, teams.

That's why it's interesting because they're very limited with what they can do.

I don't see it, buy maybe moving Harden is their only option if it's as bad as it's being reported.

Which begs the next question, who trades for Harden?

He has a $38m contract this coming season and a $40m contract for 2020-2021.

Houston’s going to want an AD style deal from any team getting him, so that theoretically puts Boston in the driver’s seat yet again.

Just like he did for George, Kwahi and AD?

I think so this time

The pressure has to be huge after likely losing Kyrie and wimping out on AD to their arch rival

In other news, Hassan Whiteside is apparently going to opt into his $18m contract for next season while simultaneously demanding a trade out of Miami.

That takes some balls right there.

Looks like Hassan Whiteside is looking to request a trade.
