In the interest of seeing the Warriors get beaten CP3 should have gone to the spurs IMO. Or maybe Morey can pull off the PG13 trade without sacrificing too much, or something crazy like they get Drummond who figures out effort and free throws.

There seems to be this weird idea among casual basketball fans that Chris Paul is washed. Edit: not calling out spite in particular but rather just going off of my twitter timeline and texts from friends about the trade

I swear, I'm the eyes of the general public any player aged 29 or under is a young guy with limitless potential, and anyone over 30 is completely washed up. No one is immune to this, from the foreign guy you'll see in a single game in April to Lebron James himself.

Where do you'll put Avery Bradley as a guard-defender Do you agree with the players who say he's the best in the business Or do you agree with the metrics that say he's okay What's the census

quote:Unloading Ryan Anderson to sign Paul outright would have helped Houston keep one of their outgoing guards, but the market for the three years and $60 million left on Anderson's deal was frigid. Not even the Kings wanted him for free. At least two teams would have demanded two Houston first-round picks in exchange for absorbing Anderson, according to several league sources. Lowe confirms that absolutely no one wants Anderson's contract.

Bradley makes lots of good plays but I see him do dumb poo poo like body up a guy outside the perimeter when they are in the penalty and give up 2 automatic free-throws.

Bradley's 10/10 for on-ball defense and about 7/10 off-ball Marcus Smart is 9/10 on both

I am amazed at how many people seem to have no idea how goddamn special of a talent Chris Paul really is. I loathe the guy, but drat he is an incredible player. Great passer, great shooter, great ballhandler, great defender, great flopper, great whiner - the dude is top tier at every single aspect of NBA basketball.

I mean, most people here didn't watch the playoffs or something because you don't watch the Jazz/Clippers series where CP3 willed a bunch of minimum wage guys to 7 games against the Jazz and go "He's washed"

Since CP3 opted into his deal instead of a new deal isn't he likely to screw himself long term? At his age it's a little risky not to go for the biggest longest deal possible. He is still great but Father Time catches point guards faster than big men, never know when he could have an injury that ruins him.

The Bulls and Rockets were in nearly identical positions a couple years ago. Mediocre team with a star. The rest is the work of their GMs.
