Getting a star big man (LMA?) would probably have been better position-wise, but I guess finding a big man that is attainable, a star, and fits in their pace-and-space offense would be almost impossible. No mater what, though, it's a heck of a move, and a surprisingly low price. That '18 pick will be pretty crappy.Can we change the thread title to "WOJ BOMB: Chris Paul to Houston", though? I had a mini heart attack because I thought it was PG13Well, when you have people like Chris Paul and Paul George who have two first names, it does get confusing.Ugh...people with first names for last names. Title changed.

Maybe it will help them keep afloat for that pick.Yeah, it's a pretty good deal for Clippers. Assuming they keep Decker and the pick, that's only abet of about $2.4 million in cap space in 2018 compared to just letting Paul walk and not replacing him. They could have over $80 million in cap space next summer, during a good free agency class, if Blake also leaves and they don't make any long-term signings this summer.

Shame that Clippers pick is protected.
Paul agrees to sign with Houston 3 days before the free agency window opens? I thought teams couldn't engage in conversations with players until July 1Wonder if the Clips will file tampering charges
Clippers get beverly, Decker, williams, and 2018 1st. Clippers win the trade imo long term, cp3 is oldClippers got value and depth
I think this really opens the door on Hayward signing in the east. The top 3 teams in the West are so far and above everyone else. San Antonio, GSW and the Rockets are legit title contenders. Utah is not knocking off any of those 3. The East is more open. I think the Cavs are beatable and players will see this. I would be shocked if Blake or GH were not wearing Celtic Green next year.
