I've been saying that we are one white rookie away from the promised land.

The Houston Rockets have reached an agreement on a trade for LA Clippers All-Star point guard Chris Paul, sources told ESPN.
The Rockets will send Sam Dekker, Patrick Beverley and Lou Williams and a top-three protected 2018 first-round pick to the Clippers in exchange for Paul.
Paul had been planning to decline the player option on his contract and wanted to play with Rockets All-Star James Harden, according to The Vertical, which first reported the trade.
Paul met with the Clippers on Tuesday and didn't like what he heard from the team, sources say. He informed them on Tuesday night that he planned to leave in free agency if he declined his option.
The Clippers were determined get something for Paul rather than lose him for nothing, sources told ESPN, so Paul instead agreed to opt in for the final year of his contract (worth $24.2 million) to facilitate the trade.
The Rockets will have to make another move to make the financials work before they can officially acquire Paul, ESPN's Brian Windhorst reports. And, once their trade for Paul is official, Houston will try to acquire All-Star Paul George from the Indiana Pacers, sources told ESPN's Ramona Shelburne.
Houston probably trying to set themselves up for LeBron. This is a great step since he and CP3 are buddies. You have to wonder if LeBron would go to the western conference though where he'd have to get through the Warriors to even make the finals.
Random NBA Thought, I wanna see Aqib Talib go one-on-one with Stephanie Curry so he can pull Stephie's mouthpiece out of his mouth and shove it up his ass.
LBJ is going to leave them, everyone in Cleveland views him as a faux superstar.
He's a borderline superstar. Someone should want him.
They should trade him to the Knicks for Porzingis. If they could do that and sign Rose (who is still a decent passer) they've arguably improved. Might free up Love to be more within himself, too.
