Chris Paul?


Recommended Posts

IF he leaves L.A. he will go to Atlanta or Dallas imo. Darkhorse would be Houston if they could move Lin. That said, he isn't leaving L.A. imo...

Did you watch the series and game last night?

He's done. Clippers are going to rebuild that team. HC will be gone also.

They were talking about how theres been talk about a KG/Pierce package deal to LA for maybe Jordan and a couple guys. CP3 may resign if that happens, but from what I've seen in this series, he's done. The man ain't coming back. Two straight seasons that they failed to be competitive in the playoffs.

CP3's future might still be in LA, what if we the Lakers decide to grab him instead of extending an offer to Dwight Howard?

 

I mean, I'd rather have CP3 than Howard after how the guy has handled himself over the past two seasons. Howard quit on the Magic, and then quit on the Lakers during the play offs. He should be shown the door, and if CP3 doesn't re-sign, they should grab him if they have the space. 

 

If not there then I think the Rockets should try and make a big play for him. They could try a sign and trade deal including Lin to the Clippers, which might appeal to the Clippers by giving them a relatively young PG in Lin. A pairing of CP3 and Harden could be a scary prospect if they gel into a cohesive partnership.

If the Clippers did grab Garnett and Pierce, then CP3 could very well sign a new contract. Garnett is a big improvement on Jordan, and Pierce gives them an experience small forward. Factor in Blake Griffin at PF and whoever they pick at SG could be a very competitive team. 

Personally I wouldn't rule out him re-signing even if they do not grab Garnett and Pierce. This team has just won their first division title, and sure they haven't done great in the play offs, but they are still a team trying to build themselves into a legitimate contender. It was never going to happen in a season or two. If they re-sign CP3 to partner with Blake, then they need to go out into free agency and grab another star player, or borderline all star player to help them out, and surround them with good role players.
 

He may very well leave, but I think the Clippers have a good chance to retain him if they show the right ambition in the off season to bring in the right players to help them.

CP3 will not come to Charlotte. He is in the "Lebron James circle of friends." Those guys will forever be teaming up in big markets to try to win championships the easy way. Besides that he's a little baby. Any time he doesn't get a call he's in the refs face and he flops every other play. No thanks to him.

What part of Pierce and Garnett would make Paul want to resign with LA?  They're 35 and 36 respectively and decidedly on the down side of their careers and they just proved they don't have what it takes to hang with the Knicks now, much less at any point in the future.

 

My money would be on him leaving LA for whichever of the Dwight Howard candidates that can't land him.

Atlanta? Why would he go to the Hawks...? Sorry just doesn't make much sense

They already have Hortford, and would still have money to sign another max player with CP3. Makes a lot of sense actually...

    • Really?  Back to this again? How many times have I said that I’d prefer to trade back from #1? Too many to count, but as I’ve pointed out, that’s going to be much easier said than done, as once we signal we want to trade back, teams will know we don’t want any of the QBs and they’d target the 2nd pick in a trade instead. All of my “T-Mac at #1” talk has been discussed under two circumstances… the first being that no QB or DE pop before the draft, and that we can’t trade back. But again, I know you don’t like to actually read that stuff when I say it, as I’ve said it numerous times.
    • Thanks for posting this. While this was far from a great performance, this critique shows what some of us noticed last week. Bryce played "a little better". There is some talent there. But, as you pointed out we really don't have a great pass blocking line for dropping back each down when we are behind. BY has got some bad habits and physical limitations. At times his teammates let him down. The play calling isn't always the best. I hope he can learn from last week and show us some improvement in the Saints game.
    • Oh, and yes, I’d take a WR first in this upcoming draft, but again, that’s not in a vacuum I wouldn’t have taken him over the QBs this past year or likely the ones next year either. It’s all relative to who is available in a specific draft, and I don’t think any of the QB’s are worth the risk at #1 this year. Also the fact that you’ve said you would take T-Mac #2 but scoff at him going #1 is just in itself, super weird.  How you can justify a player at #2 but not #1 solely because of their position and with complete disregard to the other players available, is absolutely crazy town talk
