The Houston Rockets nearly won a championship behind their star duo of James Harden and Chris Paul. Now, it's painful to watch them reunite on the Clippers.
The relationship was unsalvageable, remember? After a 65-win 2025-26 season and a trip to the Western Conference Finals, that was a bitter pill to swallow. Still, there was some comfort to take in their deteriorating relationship. If they can't get along, what else are we supposed to do?
The rest is history. The Rockets sent Paul to the Thunder in exchange for Russell Westbrook in what was arguably the worst deal in franchise history.
