    We can add this to the other DaDakota scouting reports

    Durant - Don't want him, doesn't place defense.
    LeBron - Don't want him, he is old.

    I'd rather have an explanation as to how you think this dumbass thread brings any enlightened thoughts or reasoning to the topic of CP3's next contract.

    Yeah, I'm the troll.

    Ariza's first Rox contract was for the mid-level exception, a great deal for a starter with a title under his belt. It wasn't Morey's fault that Ariza didn't step up like everyone hoped he would. After a year at under $6M, we traded him for Courtney Lee, who was under $2M. There's absolutely no way Ariza's first contract was bad by any stretch of the imagination.

    Lin's contract was too high, but not ridiculously so. The biggest problem with his contract was that in order to sign Chris Bosh, we needed to clear up space, so we had to give up a first-round pick to get the Lakers to take Lin and his contract.

    Anderson? Yeah, terrible contract. Nobody's gonna argue with you about that one. Still, your comment that the Rockets "like giving out bad contracts" is ridiculous. Like any GM, Morey makes mistakes. Unlike most GMs, he rarely makes mistakes that prevent the franchise from moving forward. Trying to make him out to be a bad GM is laughable.

    I think CJ Miles is lefthanded and he's black. Trade him for Harden so we can save even more money.

    I wouldn't even consider it. He can't make a full season.

    Something has got to give. I hope to God we dont give him a 4-5 year deal. I think 3 years at a small discount is ideal. I think that is what the Rockets will end up doing.

    We'll need a great game from him if we plan to take back home court.

    It'll be interesting to see this thread if he delivers us this series.

    One of my biggest concerns for CP3 in this iso heavy offense is his absolute inability to pass by big men that switch on him. He has to do twenty moves and the big man still is in front of him. He has like no lateral quickness anymore.

    That's scary.

    No he shouldn’t get the max, I think we will sign him to a smaller like two year deal.

    Will then most likely pick up Lebron James or Demarcus Cousins if we lose

    I mean even if we win I think the likely hood we pick up one more star would be pretty high

    Not my money.. just get rid of Anderson and Eric Gordon.. and hopefully Ariza take less as a back up.. If not have Tucker and Green as back ups and sign Ellington to replace Eric Gordon of course all of this if we go after Lebron.
