Aside from Tad Brown, D'Antoni and MAYBE Morey, I've never encountered anyone who DIDN'T want out of a Fertitta operation. The REAL question is... who's next?
So... It appears as if there is some truth to this. Stephen A appears to have a good source with regards to CP3. Draft is in 6 days. Time to make a deal Morey.
The day he injured his hamstring then was gifted his albatross contract is the day he should have been 100% loyal to the organization. If he indeed wants out he shouldn't be leaking this to the media or to SAS ffs.
There is absolutely zero way the Rockets trade Chris Paul unless it makes them better. I agree that MDA/Harden HAVE to figure out a way to incorporate the rest of the team into the offense, but Chris hasn't done much to help his cause here.
I keep seeing it suggested that we could trade Capela, Paul, and Nene for Gordon Hayward, Brown, and Horford or some sort of deal with the Celtics that involves a first round pick as well. It would be interesting to see what happens if Paul does want out. I could see us shipping him to Boston or possibly Miami as well.
Let’s all hope this isn’t true. A) We don’t need the drama. Our offseason hasn’t exactly been off to a smooth start. B) It’ll further tank his trade value ....and most importantly.... C) The GS dynasty is dead. Things are wide open next year. There’s a strong argument to be made for keeping this group intact.
This isn’t surprising . Chris shoulders a lot of blame but **** it’s impossible playing next to James
The Knicks or Lakers paid Stephen A to say it because they need a backup plan to Durant and Klay. Who thinks this guy doesn't take tip money for leaks? I believe if Paul Chris said it.
What's worse than being stuck with a contract bigger than the player? Being stuck with the contract, and the player putting out word that he wants out, so you get even less in return.
Yup this is how the "word" gets out usually, especially in politics as we know. Either way, I don't doubt SAS gets kickbacks for stuff like this.
We actually need to keep Chris.... what needs to change is the offensive system/dynamic. We will get nowhere close to value for dumping his contract. The window is now... unfortunately we made our bed My prediction is Gordon gets traded as a shakeup move and hopefully that will balance us out a bit
