Trying to keep up with reports.. I believe that most of this is either false, or based on the hour or two after their loss to the Warriors. That's what I'm hearing from fellow Rockets fans.

Doesn't mean that there aren't tensions. But I think the organization is telling them "You were arguably the best team the last two years, if not for GSW.. run it back another year, winning cures all".

if paul isn’t creating then he’s an undersized guard with (by comparison these days) limited shot creating and shot making talent at his position. his whole value is as an orchestrator. you put the ball in his hands. what harden does is new generation stuff with no middle man. it hurts the team dynamic where one’s expected. kawhi lets lowery set it up and find his own too, and they do just fine. it’s just the wrong system for paul to flourish.

imagine paul with the ball in his hands for the sixers. shooters on each wing with a classic anchor inside. it’d be winning imo. it’s just the wrong fit in houston. and with his contract he’s probably never going to see a better situation. i’m no big fan of his but that’s kind of a shame.

He’s a waste in Houston the way Harden dominates the ball. Philly would be a dream situation for him.

yeah his contract makes him pretty much untradeable.

There probably is some tension but the media loves to exaggerate stories . They reported that Harden and CP3 didn’t talk for 2 months which I fail to believe .

Houston reporters already shot that down by saying that they sit beside each other on the plane and play cards together .

Chris Paul is a *****. Another that I hope never wins a thing.

If both Rajon Rondo and Demarcus Cousins are constantly wanting to punch you in the face then there’s something wrong with you.

He would be starting point for the ALL ***** TEAM. WHO would be all ***** team right now?.

I think he left LAC on bad terms. Now Houston. Maybe you're the problem, CP3.

If he's trying to ring chase, I don't know where he goes from here. Maybe Boston would want him with Kyrie leaving.

Daryl Morey's analytics certainly didn't help with CP3 contract negotiations. No way he's worth 121 mil over the next 3 yrs at the age of 34.
It's mind boggling to see how some of these front office executives and GM's get their jobs. Most either have business acumen and zero basketball knowledge or vice versa.

Maybe ball hog of the year award, but until he decides to trust his teammates and realize he can’t do it all on his own then he will continue to flame out in the tournament

Well to be fair he does trust his teammates. Led the NBA in assists last season. But he’s too ball dominant and too predictable for team success. He’ll do great getting his 30 points and 10 assists though. Russell Westbrook syndrome.
