Just because Chris Paul is arriving doesn't mean that James Harden should have to relinquish the way he played last season. He was 2nd in MVP voting behind Westbrook for a reason.
You don't ask the 27 year old superstar in the prime of his career to change the way he plays because you're bringing in a 32 year old star who is in all likelihood exiting the prime of his career.
My initial thoughts are how two ball-dominant guards are going to be effective together.
I like Houston going for broke. Sure, it's probably not going to matter against the Warriors but at least they didn't pack it in... they're trying to compete, I'm just not sure this was the right deal. That front court is looking pretty suspect.
