    ESPNs Chris Haynes reports the rockets are aggressively pursuing Chris Paul and there is a serious chance the rockets lure him away from Los Angeles.

    I suspect there is a 'Paul will come if George comes and vice versa' situation.

    After drafting HartenSCHTEIN I think we're the frontrunners to sign Chris Paul.

    Chris Paul is just using the Rockets for leverage, just like every other FA before him. He's staying in LA. Nothing to see here. Move along. /CF

    One of the big dominoes to fall. If we can nab CP3, then maybe PG 13 will come here

    CP3
    Harden

    George
    Capela

    Look OK

    I don't know man. I'm usually a debbie downer in this situation, but how often have multiple writers been on our side? Usually every other destination is serious except ours. Must be some serious media conspiracy going on. I don't even want Paul, but **** it I'm on the bandwagon now. Jumping off the Gallinari bandwagon for the mean time.

    Paul knows he will get a max deal in LA already.

    Considering the rest of the league knows the only way to take down the Warriors is to make more super teams this doesn't really surprise me. Houston with Harden and MDA is one of the few teams that at least poses a threat and would make sense to join. Paul won't be enough though. If this domino falls it will be interesting what else is in store.

    Doesnt make sense. Clippers will max him out anyway. Why would he need leverage?

    Looks like the organization is not happy with Harden's ball handling skills and turnovers

    Wouldnt we have to gut/trade our entire roster to afford more than one Paul?
