    Weren't the Rockets 42-3 with Chris Paul, James Harden, and Clint Capela in the 2017-18 regular season?

    I would love for Rockets to convince CP3 not to retire just yet and finish the season with Houston. And then become Reed’s PG coach.

    He's one of very few Rockets who weren't here for a significant amount of time but I do own merch for. That season is one of my favourites as a fan (despite the end) and I'm not at all ashamed to be a CP3 fan, I think history's very different if we never trade him for Westbrick.

    He should have finished off one more season here.

    He stole from the Rockets after signed the second contract. He admitted it, too.
    More than money

    net cost—> Picks to get him and more picks to move on from him. His time as a Rocket set the organization back years.

    Relatively.....his time did not set the Rockets back, they made the WCF with him and forced a Game 7 against the Worriers, even leading the series I believe at the end and GSW had to come back.

    • The pick that Clippers got for him was turned into Landry Shamet......
    • Players like Beverley and Montrezl proved that they were in and out of the league in the future seasons.
    • They seemed a bit much but 2 of the Swaps did not convey even.....
    • Topic and McCain might help the Thunder but that is not right now, and Morey got 1 pick back for the Sixers....ironically.

    Ultimately Chris Paul deal what Durant was this year......it just ended bad because of Morey and Fertitta not being able to handle him.

    The Rockets just go All In ......2nd time now .....you can't even blame Morey for Durant.
