    Lol I'm on mobile using swype. I'm much too lazy to correct its auto predictability.

    It was supposed to be "conversation" not conversating. Also, trying to get swype to recognize which your or you're I'm trying to spell is a battle I long ago gave up.

    Bravo job grammar-nazi.

    Why thank you. Normally I don't bother, it just cracked me up that you were calling someone stupid with multiple mistakes in the same sentence. :D

    Imo he traded 2 guards for a 33 yr old injury prone guard. He would have at least gotten another guard for backup / insurance

    I think ultimately Miami wins now. They could get CP and not give up their youth/picks and just give expirings to OKC. Then can flip their other big deals with the picks they'd be using on Westbrook for Beal and have a big three of CP, Beal, and Butler.

    The Rockets got played. Miami was used as leverage to get Houston to throw in picks.

    Disagree. We got rid of a horrible contract and a regularly hurt, negative player and got back an MVP (whether or not we agreed that he deserved it). Of course we had to include picks to get rid of Paul's contract. Shocked we didn't have to include more.

    Not that horrible, imo. CP is still good. People here gonna act like he was trash. Injuries are a valid point, but Russ got his own baggage. I think of it like this... Miami didn't have much of an advantage of pulling off a viable trade for Russ.
