    I mean Boogie's not as versatile as AD but I don't think he HAS to constantly be posting up. Could be a nice fit with Harden.

    I like CP3, I'm just not sure he moves the needle for the Rockets very much. I honestly think they'd have been better with Melo instead of him.

    We'll see. I'm not judging the fit off of last night since CP3 has been injured since the preseason.

    I think having an elite ball handler in the game at all times is going to benefit the rockets more than having another elite scoring option.

    Yeah you could be right. More often than not though Harden will be in for 35+ min. CP3 is a HOF so he should be able to make the adjustments in his game to fit better next to James.

    This..... :empalm:

    I'm not gonna lie, I'm still salty we didn't get Melo. Like CP3 is cool and all, but d--- Melo would've been nice.

    I think last years series vs the Spurs was an eye-opener.

    Offensively this team had more than enough firepower. But the Spurs were able to focus in on Harden due to the team only having one playmaker. The addition of CP3 negates how effective Kawhi will be on defense as an individual and clearly makes them the better team now imo.

    They gutted so much of their depth for CP3, Melo would've probably cost half as much.

    I've been watching the rockets since they hired McHale as their coach and this is easily the best team they've had in that time span. The loss of Pat Bev was hard but CP3 for Bev was a no-brainer.

    Lou Williams is someone I didn't mind losing. He played well against OKC but not so much against SAS.

    Sam Dekker, Montrezl Harrell, Darrun Hilliard, DeAndre Liggins, Kyle Wiltjer. These aren't players that played a lot so I don't really care about them.

    The addition of CP3, Luc and PJ make up for losing all those player. Defensive now we can switch everything and offensively we can still make a ton of 3s while adding playmaker depth.

    Dekker & Harrell are ok role players.

    I make the trade 10 times out of 10 if I'm the Rockets, I just don't know if they'll end up being much better than they were last season.

    I like Dekker. His only problem was staying healthy. That was a good pick up for the clips. He'll give them solid minutes as gallo backup.

    Harrell as a small ball 5 will be interesting if Doc uses him like that. He played well when Dantoni used him there.
