Rad Valtar posted:Chris Paul is a really good player and maybe it's just me but I don't see how he fits with Harden who controls most of the ball. The styles don't mesh. Ball-dominant point guard Harden is a relatively recent thing; he used to play as more of a pure SG.

Better than losing CP3 for nothing, PLUS you get Sam Decker at the small forward Patrick Beverley to replace the three points and the defense from CP3, Blake can finally step up and be the point forward he was meant to be, and Clippers can now run the court and be the best transition offense team in the league .

Rad Valtar posted:Chris Paul is a really good player and maybe it's just me but I don't see how he fits with Harden who controls most of the ball. The styles don't mesh. Yeah I agree. Like I don't think CP3 is going to hurt the team or anything, but I am not sure the sum is greater than all the parts here. CP3 isn't going to do a ton to take some of the scoring burden off Harden or anything. But it's a great return for what they gave up and I didn't really think the Clippers were going to do a lot anyway. Still, I'd be really hesitant to blow up a Western Conference Playoff team, its a lot of work to get back there. Doc controls players movement, right? Weird that he'd do this.

I just realized Harden will never win MVP now. The team will be better but he won't be doing as much so his chances at the award will go down. Not that it matters since the number one goal should be a title. Edit: it's really funny CP3 and Dwight convinced Cuban they were colluding to join the Mavs and now the Rockets have had both.

Every once in a while I think about how Doc Rivers signed his son to an 11+ million per year deal and the universe feels simultaneously too large and too small at once and I pass out

Pat Beverley: formely undrafted player playing in the Ukraine, Sam Dekker a mid 1st rounder rotation player, and Lou Williams, guy who got traded for Corey Brewer and a late 1st plus an additional late 1st for Chris Paul is basically a NBA2k trade I would attempt to do

pubic works project posted:
Nene is a free Agent. I imagine they let him walk because they have Harrell and Onuaku who can approximate what nene gave them Their contracts with Paul just barely get them over the cap, which means they will have just the Exception and minimums to fill out their bench. I imagine they target a PF type who can shoot with the exception and then go after a minimum PG. You can probably except the teams 9 player rotation to look like this: Chris Paul James Harden Trevor Ariza Ryan Anderson Clint Capella Eric Gordon Ersan illyosova? (Exception) Monztrel Harrell Uhhhh... Ray Felton? Honestly I have no idea.

This might end of biting the Rockets in the rear end Also gonna need to find some bench scoring now unless we think Gordon can repeat actually being healthy for most of a season e: Also CP had to opt back into his contract, so the Clippers were basically doing this instead of letting him just walk

Ghost Dog posted:can blake actually dribble well enough to be a point forward i feel like that idea just gets thrown out there cause hes a good passer and isnt huge I think you'd still absolutely need a PG to handle play initiation and the like, but you can run a lot through Blake, and Blake is capable of even playing a small-5. But that can be Patrick "I play the 1 next to better point-players for a career" Beverley so it works out.

The other side of this is that Harden handling the point was wildly successful and now you take the ball out of his hands

lol the Clippers blew their chance for relevancy in a series of dumbass moves by Doc Rivers, now they are sinking even further into irrelevancy as 2 new football teams are coming to Los Angeles At least they got a pretty clean blowup and should be able to trade Deandre Jordan for picks / young guys. Who would want him?
