Boom,
Reddick'd be my first target.
He looked strong with Celtics in playoffs.

Man, How bad is this contract? The falloff is happening sooner than expected. The Rockets aren’t even getting an average CP3 in the 1st year of this contract


quote:

Paul’s slippage has really emerged in his advanced stats: his player efficiency rating is the lowest of his career, his turnover rate is the highest of his career, and his true shooting percentage is his lowest since his second season. Last year, the Rockets boasted a whopping plus-12.8 net rating when Paul was on the court; in other words, every Rockets lineup that included Paul blew out the opposition in aggregate. This year, Houston is barely breaking even with Paul, who hasn’t gotten to his spots as easily or displayed the night-to-night consistency that has been his hallmark for more than a decade.

Paul has always been overrated. I'm glad to see the Rockets failing because of him. Maybe others will start to see it.

Chris Paul was actually good tonight even though he was 2/12.

The bench lineup led by Paul crushed Portland.

They can run off 20 straight and no one would be even a wee bit surprised.

I don’t disagree entirely but this team has issues. They aren’t a real threat to the West this year Bubba. They need some mid season moves to get them where they wanna go.

They're working through it and I have a feeling based on what I've seen James Harden hasnt even been in shape at any point this season. He looks fat right now. Chris Paul also looks rusty/asleep at times. Itll be interesting going forward because I could see this team going either way. They could start ripping off a big win streak or flounder right where they've been.

Bring back Chris on a 3 or four year max. Go get tyreke Evans with the mid level. Bring back brandan Wright to back up Clint. Sign Garret temple w that BAE. SHIP. prob 2 in the next 3 ships tbt.

Good deal for CC. Gives them a 4 year window coinciding w James prime to make a run every year. I say they get 2. Conservatively.
