    He should sacrifice and give it a shot. The Vipers could really use him right now.

    At the end of the day , every player should do whatever is in the best interest of the team.

    You disagree?

    I have never heard players that r paid Chris pauls level being sent down to g league for conditioning. His injury doesnt even warrant being sent down there. Stop overracting.

    He could potentially help them win a G-League championship. Too bad he only cares about stats and not team success though.

    The Paul out there right now isn’t helping the team as much as healthy Paul. We could keep playing him to get him in shape—-but we’re also dropping games that way imo (debatable I know).

    Give the keys to harden for a bit once more and Paul can beat up on some g-leaguers.

    Plus Paul owes it to James to help him win the MVP after getting him paid like that..

    I agree. I'm just imagining what ESPN talkheads would say if Morey actually let Paul do that - whether it was from a coach's decision or Paul asking. The optics would be so so so terrible. Imagine what kind of CF threads we'd start seeing.

    In seriousness, CP3's game and impact is all about timing and setting the tone for the game. Conditioning will come with more games. But the only way to work on timing and dictating the flow of the game is to play with your guys and put in more in-game reps. G-League will only help his conditioning.

    Chris paul is probably being paid as much as an entire g league roster. I hope that is a joke!

    Chris Paul has become another Melo. He's not playing atrociously when he plays, and yet, his presence just makes the team worse. He definitely needs to shoot more and become more of a threat on that end rather than just being a Rondo.
