He opted into the final year of his contract to get traded.

Houston will have his Bird Rights for next year.


Please don't make me have to explain Bird Rights..........................

Derrick Rose possibly to San Antonio?

Has Pop lost his fucking mind?

He never officially opted out. In fact, he opted in so that Houston would have Cap Space to make another move.


The moral of the story is this: You can't make just one move to match the Warriors. You have to make several. GSW have the rest of the NBA shook.

 

[zizinho]

why fucked? CP3 did right by them and they get something out of him leaving. He was gonna opt out, otherwise.

No, it's not a sign and trade. It is trading a player in the last year of his contract. If it were a sign and trade, paul would have opted out, signed a long term deal, and then get traded.

I guess this goes in the "FWIW" department

Former Warriors Kelenna Azubuike (who's close w/ many players) said Paul George is recruiting Klay Thompson to Lakers. Klay is a FA in 2019.

Dear Knicks Fans,

Getting rid of Phil Jackson does not solve the problem. Separating 2 crazy people from one another suddenly does not make them sane.

You still have James Dolan. Arguably the worst owner in pro sports.


Ha ha.

Ball Klay George, that California trio

The Rockets are trading for every available fringe player. What's next Mr Morey?

Lakers pick up David Nwabas 1.3M option (LA Times)



Now if we only signed Ron Baker, we would have my 2 favorite cheap contract role players in the league

This way he can get a max deal next summer too. Smart move by Paul.

I don't think that is going to happen my friend. I think we are going to see some real improvement this year. Getting Lopez as a stretch 5 gives our PF's the spacing that they need to work inside. I can honestly see a 35-37 win season this year

In a nutshell, if you are with your current club for at least 3 years by the time your contract expires, you can sign a new contract without it affecting the salary cap. Also, if you are trade to another team, and you were with your former team for at least 3 years, then the Bird Rights carry over

So the rockets are taking the risk on Paul? If he leaves at the end of the season it would be pretty funny, can't blame them though. As they are it's Paul, harden and a bunch of role players though.

I'd argue Paul had a better team in LA, I'm curious to see how Harden and Paul work together though.

 

[Osman]

Why would he leave Harden and fairly good rockets tho? Most other better teams dont even need a PG (except Spurs).



Was watching Butlers Wolves press conference, besides being hilarious about giving out his cell phone nr on tv and saying he is an open book, ask me anything anytime, he also pretty much said he is talking to his Allstar friends actively to convince them to come to Wolves. Closest name they mention in media is Kyle Lowry right now.
