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...

    • This was a good breakdown from Daniels.  Last year has had a lasting impact on Young. He still isn't getting the time needed from the OL - the OL we have is made to establish the run and for the run to be in play.  We get behind and have to throw all game we are doomed with this O-line. His receivers have to catch the ball when he makes a good throw to them, he can't have them dropping his good passes. Why are we running 4 slants all toward the same direction?  Why a triple option on 4th and 1? That's on the coaches. Bryce gets hurried and starts slinging the ball where it shouldn't be thrown, more study and recognition from him are needed.  Bryce doesn't step up in the pocket and throws too soon and unbalanced.  He over and under throws the ball because of it.  That's on him.  If the pocket isn't there and he can't get his base set he needs to check down or "live to fight another day." He has been thrown to the wolves and has lost his confidence.  This team doesn't have much, if any, talent and it's a cluster.  I think he can still be an NFL QB.  Maybe not a QB1 in the short term, but if he has a chance with better coaching and personnel he may be better than we are giving him credit for. I think we ruined him last year and have not fixed anything to help him this year.  If we can't run or get way behind all NFL defenses are coming after him.  Dalton has more respect and defenses didn't always sell out to get to him because he'd hit a quick slant, screen, or check down because he has the experience to know what's coming and what to do. Just my 2 cents.
    • All depends on who the backup is. Josh Allen probably would have been benched too if there were better backups than Matt Barkley and Nate peterman.
    • Where did I once say we should draft him because he's a projected Top 5 pick?   That's one of my many problems with you, your reading comprehension skills are very poor (and/or you just don't care to use your brain, one of the two).  I solely used that to point out that me pushing T-Mac isn't some absurd homerism, that at least I'm pushing someone who is deserving of a Top 5 draft pick. And despite me explaining it to you numerous times, you still seem to not grasp how QB's get placed in mock drafts vs draft grades.  They are treated entirely different in mock drafts to any other position, because of how teams generally treat them in the draft because of how important the position is. Literally any other position except QB, mock drafts generally follow draft grades with some team needs factored in.  But with QB's, draft grades are generally disregarded and they ALWAYS put a few QB's at the very top of the draft, because that's just usually what happens.  The exact same thing happened in 2022 with guys like Pickett and Willis widely being Top 10 picks in mock drafts, only for Pickett to fall to what, around 20?, and Willis going in the 2nd round (and even being the 3rd QB if I remember correctly too). The overwhelming majority of draft experts are saying there isn't a high first round grade on these QB's, but they still get mocked there because they're trying to predict how the draft will actually go. That's been my point the entire time, reaching for a QB in a bad QB draft when you have a roster as depleted of talent as ours, does not tend to work out well. And I've never said I'm not open to other players, I've very explicitly said that if a QB or DE stands out come draft time, I'm open to that discussion.  That I'd be open to Hunter as a CB but I prefer a WR over a CB at the top of the draft.  But we're also not talking about the 15th pick here where there could realistically be all sorts of possible picks to discuss.  With the first pick, there really would only be a small handful of options, T-Mac is head and shoulders above any other given our current roster and state of the franchise in general.
