G-Hawk posted:Pat Beverley: formely undrafted player playing in the Ukraine, Sam Dekker a mid 1st rounder rotation player, and Lou Williams, guy who got traded for Corey Brewer and a late 1st plus an additional late 1st for Chris Paul is basically a NBA2k trade I would attempt to do Going to miss Bev  He's the bestGood three point shooter, elite defender, making peanuts, rarely injured. This might end of biting the Rockets in the rear end Also gonna need to find some bench scoring now unless we think Gordon can repeat actually being healthy for most of a season e: Also CP had to opt back into his contract, so the Clippers were basically doing this instead of letting him just walk

The other side of this is that Harden handling the point was wildly successful and now you take the ball out of his hands

RaySmuckles posted:interesting move for the rockets. not sure how to feel about it. sure, chris paul is always a good addition, but the harden PG experiment seemed to be working really well and even though CP3 shoots 3s well, isn't he just replacing other players that did the same? OTOH the Rockets are probably going to give Paul the supermax for his ages 33-38 seasons so the majority of Harden's prime will be lost when he's either stuck on a team with an oft injured and aging former point god on a roster that has little flexibility because he'll also be on the supermax or he'll leave for a better chance to win elsewhere The Warriors seem like the only one of the superteams that is actually sustainable for more than a couple of seasons

I'm probably biased because I'm old enough to have seen the superteam fail in Houston before (Hakeem-Drexler-Barkley and then Hakeem-Barkley-Pippen. Worked with Hakeem and Drexler but they emptied their depth to add Barkley to the mix and welp) e: Also TMac-Yao-Artest Intruder fucked around with this message at 07:13 on Jun 29, 2017 |

Anderson's problem in the playoffs wasn't his bad defense (which is bad) it's that he shot 28% from three point range which means he sucked at the one thing you want him for

G-Hawk posted:hypothetically swapping Ryan Anderson for him is not totally insane, depending on if there are other particulars to a deal. Melo is older and his contract is bigger, but both have 3 more years at 20mil+. I'm not saying it is a good idea, just not totally far fetched. But yeah, I basically agree. I'd rather keep Anderson, the guy who's willing to accept his role as the "stand there and receive the kickout pass for an open three" guy who plays no defense vs Melo, the "the offense should be run through me no matter what" guy who also plays no defense, especially when Ryno costs less ex post facho posted:im skeptical that cp3 and harden is gonna be that good, both are ball-dominant guards that need the ball in their hands to be effective. paul's a good spot up shooter i guess but it seems like a mistake to to pair him with harden, especially with sacrificing as much depth as they did The thing that got me on board was the whole "One or both of James Harden or Chris Paul is going to be on the floor literally the entire game" And replacing Bev's defense with CP3's isn't some catastrophe

G-Hawk posted:i really cannot believe anyone is actually worried this will somehow make the rockets defense worse. Chris Paul is a really good defender, and presumably with less offensive burden than in the past because of Harden, could be even better. Harden may improve some on defense with Paul taking the load off, also. Williams was arguably the worst defender on the entire team, and Dekker is terrible there too (though perhaps gets better with experience). This doesn't make their defense worse, it probably makes it better when they fill out the team. Ehhhh I'm not counting on Harden's defense to improve much. And this team is seriously short on bigs now, something that was a strength last season. I liked Harrell a lot and he was (other than Bev) the piece I'm going to miss most from this trade Also Bev...  Going to miss Bev so much

Strawberry Panda posted:Ah people just get attached to role players I guess. Like how I was disappointed when I was 13 when Lamar Odom and Brian Grant got traded for Shaq. I got mad when the Rockets traded Otis Thorpe for Clyde Drexler, come at me To take this into baseball, I got mad when the Astros traded Glenn Davis for Steve Finley, Pete Harnisch and Curt Schilling to make room on the roster for Jeff Bagwell

Panzeh posted:Ryan Anderson is not terrible at attacking with the ball either. He can dribble drive into a dirk leg fadeaway that's actually tough to guard and sometimes he'll have it all game. Anderson has mastered the Rockets flavor of "gently caress it shoot it from 33" which worked pretty well this season
