Rockets fans can only laugh as Chris Paul returns to 'unsalvageable' relationship

The Houston Rockets made one of the worst trades in NBA history by flipping Chris Paul and picks for Russell Westbrook. Their fans were told that the relationship between Paul and James Harden was unsalvageable, but now, they're reuniting on the Clippers.

What else can you do but laugh? The 2017-18 Rockets were on the cusp of championship glory. They won 65 games. Their +8.7 Net Rating was the best in the NBA. Had Paul's hamstring held out in the playoffs, they may have won it all.

The rest is history. The Rockets tried to replace Trevor Ariza with Iman Shumpert and James Ennis III.
