    On the surface I think most will say it is a small haul for Paul (see what I did there? Not even intentional) but Dekker has some untapped potential (we will have to see what the pick protection is) and anything is better than losing him for nothing. Bev and Lou Williams get them by this year and then they have money next summer when those two might leave.

    The Clippers are a'boot to enter a rebuild.

    Well, we probably won't be getting Beverly then; he'll probably be in the trade. We'll see I guess. Can't somebody post who was in the trade!!???

    So CP3 is the second player to join the team that he blew a 3-1 lead to (albeit a trade). Wow...............

    Why? Haven't we lamented what it's like to only have one capable ball-handler? Having CP3/Harden gives them a Double Dragon the opposing defenses will have a hard time dealing with. Both are very good with the dribble, very good passers, and more than adequate shooters. That's gonna be a bitch to defend.

    The talent consolidation continues. There's one less team worth watching.

    Already posted earlier in the thread...

    After Paul informed Clippers he'd sign w/ HOU in FA, teams agreed to deal sending Beverley, Dekker, Williams and 2018 FRP for Paul. The 1st round pick is top 3 protected.

    Neither teams were worth watching to begin with.

    Seriously! My two most-hated teams [current] swapped players, consolidating hated players on HOU. Now the only thing I hate about LAC are the Riverses (and Beverly I suppose).

    Lou Williams according to reports so far.

    Chris Paul makes a lot. It would have to be decent contracts going back to make salaries come close to matching.
