Best teams in NBA 1. Warriors (W) 2. Spurs (W) 3. Rockets (W) 4. Cavs (E) every other team is irrelevant unless a big player moves. Best players in the world (don't mind ranks too much here, more to prove a point) 1. Lebron* (E) 2. Durant* (W) 3. Leonard* (W) 4. Curry* (W) 5. Harden* (W) 6. Westbrook (W) 7. Chris Paul* (W) 8. Davis (W) 9. Giannis (E) 10. Draymond* (W) 11-16 Paul George (?) , Klay* (W), Kyrie* (E), Wall (E), Towns (W). *Plays for top contender This goes out to anyone who thinks the west is easy because the warriors went 12-0, and the Cavs have a hard trip to the finals. The west is still loaded with 3/4 contenders and most of the best players in the league. The Celtics, the 2nd best team in the east, were worse than the clippers (imo), the 5th best team in the West.

Chris Morris they were pretenders anyways might as well bow it up

[@Cmorrison626]

Naw. Real Clippers fans are glad we got to see our team in the playoffs the last 5 or 6 years. A real Clipper fan knows that reaching just that point was a joke before CP or Blake showed up.

[@JonathanLopez-jx3es]

[@baronbolanos6678]

[@url0veang3l]

Baron Bolanos Definitely.

[@mick727xd]

Baron Bolanos got to wait till the end of free agency. This is disappointing as a clippers fan, but you never know what will happen during FA. I reckon a healthy Griffin and Jordan make the playoffs with Beverley and the other new pieces we've acquired but then again being in the playoffs is pointless with no hope to win

[@baronbolanos6678]

Lenoerd injured and parker this year, no one even says golden state had a free pass. How about if Durant, and curry were injured, and spurs beat them, everyone would be saying the spurs Got lucky. Media is so fucked

Dr. Drake Ramoray Anderson, Gordon, Ariza, those are enough contracts

[@TheSolkorundo]

Dr. Drake Ramoray seems you don't get how trades n FA work.

[@MsMrapplepie]

GrandeRed Nobody wants those bums and the rockets picks are worthless.

[@EricOWilliam]

Dr. Drake Ramoray Exactly

[@_DrDrakeRamoray]

Pacers want more than that garbage the rockets are offering.

[@andrefernan1016]

Like i said Clippers didnt want to give Paul a max contract to an aging player. Jerry West did a good job

[@cythegrate9989]

andre fernan and ended up snatching Houston's entire bench, draft picks and cash... Jerry West robbed the Rockets and gave them a cranky 32yr old PG, what a masterpiece hit job lol

[@andrefernan1016]

Cy The Grate That's what I'm saying lol It wasn't working with Paul so let Jerry West do some moves with the assets we got. I say sign Blake he still 28. Try to trade for Paul George and sign a decent point guard and we good. Top 4 in the west for sure

[@Kobe24219]

Lebron wouldn't get past the conference finals if he was in the west #Facts

[@guccimomafly]

Lot of you guys are saying the west is getting more stacked, but the Celtics are gonna get better with the acquisition of Hayward and the 76ers are gonna be scary this year with Fultz Simmons and Embiid all healthy.

[@Equilyzr]

u were almost accurate

[@RedGoldEmerald]

I like this move b/c the Clippers weren't getting better and it is nice to see teams trying to challenge the Warriors rather than wait it out. Minnesota, Houston and Boston are all trying to compete by building super teams and while a league of superteams isn't everyone's preferred league, it's hard to deny that this isn't fun.

[@tyreebrown7392]

Nobody has a problem with this trade because this team still couldn't beat Lebron's team lol

[@stephthompson4512]

Tyree Brown rockets weren't a back to back championship team already before Chris Paul's arrival smart ass

[@maxbar913]

Tyree Brown dumbest comment ever

[@IllMatic97]

Max Bär dumb how

[@22BStan]

Dumb because no one is currently worried about "Lebron's team". Lebron is in the East. Houston the West. Houston needs to get past the Warriors team that just beat Lebron in 5. Also the spurs are still every bit as good as Houston if not better.

[@monilynn70]

Tyree Brown Teams are thinking how to beat Durrant lol including Lebron

[@CommentFanatic]

Do the rockets have the cap space for PG? Not familiar with their cap situation.

[@oarias5158]

Please Paul go to Houston! 🙏🚀🔥🔥🔥

[@nyteowl8069]

Rockets won that deal even tho the team still aint good enough yet to beat the warriors

[@yourdeadhomieinmywood4175]

Alpha X clippers won that trade got some good players outta of it

[@nyteowl8069]

The only good player was Beverly and Lou Will was inconstant in Houston,Sam is a rookie.I actually thought the clippers needed to ask for more

[@kennyg3450]

i dont know how the Rockets Cap room is like... but i believe they are getting Hayward and Milsap... sooo CP3, Harden, Hayward, Milsap and Capela(Nene) as starting 5... and the bench can be anyone who can adapt to their game plan

[@nedmusic1494]

And the Bulls pretty much only got Kris Dunn and Lavine for Butler who is in the middle of his prime. Fire Gar/Pax!!!

[@milescortez4636]

i hope this works out but im just interested how cp3 and harden will play together

Wow first time Windhorst didn't mention LeBron

[@soufend817]

Great pick-up. Less turnovers, more fastbreaks and more 3s.

[@heartiron7626]

I'm a Clipper fan I'm happy we got rid of cp3 he is overrated Clippers accuired 7 player's and a draft pick. This is Jerry west at work now Clippers have more player's to make deals. I have faith in Jerry west he is breaking up the team and putting it back stronger better.

[@swish9852]

That thumbnail is hairline wars

[@e.t.cetera7035]

Cp3 and the Beard injured. 1st round exit.

[@josephgarcia4475]

Rockets don't have anything to give up. Pacers should wait because if the Celtics rumors are true, Celtics can offer the most if they sign Hayward.

[@braveheartbear6537]

2 ballhogs aint gonna meshed well together. Look at Nash and Kobe. CP3 is not as good defensively as Pat Bev plus lou williams was also gone. If anything, the Rockets will be worse this season. However if Daryl Morey can sign Darren Collison or George hill as backup point guard and convince Demarcus Cousins to sign, the loss of Pat bev & Lou will be worthit

[@senyornavarro]

Damn, I'm late to make a Jonah Hill joke

[@isiahalves4449]

my boi windhorst

[@henrywc6494]

Everyone wants to win but no one wants to compete or earn it anymore. It also bothers me here no one is calling out the massive tampering going on with this trade.

[@cflo1386]

There goes Deandre's stats.

[@SorinVBogdan]

Unpopular opinion here but I think the Clippers won this trade. CP3 with Harden is either a make or break, no inbetween. However,the Clipps got some nice young guys on that team since I believe most of their bigger name players wont be there next season anymore: Reddick, Crawford, Griffin

[@wayneb.b295]

i hope portland goes for hayward and millsap

"You can't lose Blake and Chris and expect everything to be good at home" Absolutely true. If ya'll fuck this up clippers are done.

GS will still dominate years upon years, all those guys still in their 20's. The only thing that will bring them down is literally injuries.

[@wd7643]

Melo needs to go to either the 76ers, Cavs, rockets, Wizards, Toronto, Miami, NOLA, wolves or Celtics.

[@jegca]

the best flopping backcourt in the NBA, for sure.

[@vangxiong9643]

harden is like melo tho... really good offense but as the leader they don't play defense so it sends a bad vibe for the whole team

[@edonbytyqi3157]

Is there any way we New Orleans Pelicans can move to the east we shouldn't be in the west

Sad we have to literally form teams making other teams irrelevant to beat another team that has 4 all stars.

Chris Paul went to the wrong Texas team

[@charliemartinez985]

Chris Paul going to Houston doesn't change the out come. Warriors will finish first. spurs and rockets will now fight for the second seed. chances of Paul going to the western conference is finishing second...🃏

The Keeper cp3 is expected to sign an extension and they didn't really gut their team

[@jimmierustler9486]

How on earth are they gonna trade for Paul George? They got rid of their first round pick and Eric Gordon barely shot 40% from the field, gets injured half the time and is close to 30.

PG is the last guy they have a shot at, if he gets traded elsewhere, its GG for the Cavs.

[@montaellis2860]

Caligrown92511 whats GG..Yes PG is a must for the cavs, but now it start to look like the other teams have better to offer for PG or they are just more aggressive
