    theres really no need for him when your goal is to be better on the defensive side which is the obvious change for this coming season

    He could have been used next to Harden and Paul as a backup to Gordon. Just another pure shooter that can make a move off the dribble. Hopefully injuries dont expose this.

    think thats just too much. all the guys we picked up are interchangeable. lou needs the ball in his hands to be effective. not something that takes priority over improving defense and versatility on that end.

    Two very late first round picks, and early second rounders are usually up for sale.

    I'm not too worried about Little Chris being forced to change schools again. Chris Paul's history shows us that he sticks to one team and gives it a real shot. Can't see him bolting for less money.

    How many teams would he be interested in that even have cap space next year? The Spurs are capped out after the Gasol and Mills extensions. The Lakers might be a threat if Lebron wants to team up there, but LA has also been rumored to go after George and Westbrook. They can't offer max contracts to everybody. Anyone who is worried about Paul leaving should name a team he could plausibly go to.

    It's almost impossible to imagine for several reasons.

    I think we are CP3/Beard locked for the next 5 years or so. What arouses my curiosity though, is how outspoken Lebron is about reuniting with CP3, his best friend. I don't think he, nor Carmelo, nor CP3 or DWade, want to live in Cleveland. (Who does???)

    Lou was gone regardless, either to match salaries for CP3 or dumping to clear space for CP3.

    I was just down there the other day. But I didn't see any lakes that were clear. Just a bunch of car dealerships and strip clubs.

    As long as the average weight of the chicks is less than me then I consider it a quality strip club

    Yeah, this one was pretty ok. It wasn't as good as the church in terms of overall quality but i still think 100 pound girls + a 30 pound ass = 130 lbs of pure perfection. Perfect ratio for duder.

    Latinas are bomb at that department too.

    I feel Morey had a way to get rid of RA, and that's how we would have been able to sign CP3 as a free agent. Morey should have forced the clippers to take RA, Bev and a 2rd pick. we could have used Lou, MH, and Dekker in a separate deal.
