i feel dumb as poo poo watching basketball and trying to pretend to know what's good for the team but I cannot see how adding Chris Paul does anything for the aging Warriors.

I wonder what the average number of games played is going to be between Curry, Thompson, Paul and Green** (if he returns).

I'm also a certified Chris Paul hater so that might be blinding me because I've internalized and accepted as truth everything negative about him I've read online without critical thought.

He can stand there at the elbow like draymond did and hit cutters or open guys but he might also shoot the ball. It might be a disaster if they try and have him run around off ball like curry does.

I don't think it does a lot on the court, though I think trading Poole's minutes for CP3 minutes is an improvement. What it does do for them is take a bad contract off their books and make their stars happy that the front office is making moves for one last push, and they do that without mortgaging the future by overpaying some aging vet or similarly shaky move that hurts them when they go to rebuild.

If people think that poole shot the warriors out of games then cp3 won't do that

yeah, that's about what I expected him to get. he's not a superstar that can carry a team but he's the prototype "second banana max" guy

wow. you gotta fire that guy and do an extension right

do they ever rework contracts in the NBA like the NFL does? I can't think of any examples of it happening off the top of my head, probably because everything is guaranteed so "help us fit under the cap or we'll cut you" isn't a good bargaining position

there are negotiated buyouts

if that’s the state of his knee why did they rush him back? for what? they shoulda just called the season and let him heal over the summer

maybe people would do chargebacks on their tickets though.
