While I would have loved to get Chris Paul, he wasn't ever really available. He agreed to terms prior to the signing date and actually signed at the earliest moment possible.
As far as Dwight, while I agree he can be a piece, asking him to carry a team is a huge mistake. He is a mentally fragile man-baby. He originally wanted to be in Houston and that is where he ended up. He got what he wanted. I am sure after another derailed season he'll start crying again.
