Washington Post national NBA writer Tim Bontemps hands out his grades for some of the bigger signings and trades that are happening during NBA free agency. Here they are, with the most recent first:
– – –
Houston Rockets get: Chris Paul
Los Angeles Clippers get: Patrick Beverley, Lou Williams, Sam Dekker, Montrezl Harrell, several non-guaranteed contracts and a protected 2018 first round pick.
Grades:
– Houston: A
– Los Angeles: A
This is a rare win-win for both teams. The Rockets obviously are the headliners here, as General Manager Daryl Morey gets one of the NBA’s best players in Chris Paul, but also maintains enough flexibility to acquire another star – maybe Paul George?
