Paul could learn so much from champions like Tom Brady, Tim Duncan

I have no problem with players trying to get as much money as they can. CP3 took what was offered to him by Morey. None of y’all would be turning down 160 mil.

 

Terrible thread. The contract is already signed and cannot be altered in any appreciable way.

 

This post is incredible.

 

He led a team past the 2nd round last year.

Did you forget?

 

He is trolling.

 

It doesnt look like it bro.

LOL and we wouldnt have gotten past the Jazz or gotten to Game 7 without him here, enough of this.

 

Deal is a Deal, ink dried already. Every time at the end of a season we shall judge , was this a good deal, or bad. Other than that, it's useless to discuss the rest.

 

Tom Brady literally doesn't play any defense. You want that from Paul? Really?

 

Let me guess. Poor op wanted AD or Beal on the team by the tradeline and didnt get his wish. Boohoo blame morey for finding quality players to compete for a championship. Boohoo blame cp3 for being able to take the rockets to the finals but falling short by one game because he pulled his hammy(stupid old man). Blame Tillman for buying the organization just to squander his chances at winning the championship, save himself money, and secretely sabotoge the city of Houston because he’s actually working undercover for the Warriors.

All in favor of making op the new owner/manager of the houston rockets say I.

 

I wouldn't say the comparison is that direct though. Those guys were not only loyal to those franchises, but they had also already won championships with those franchises. So there was a history that led up to all that, a history that Paul did not have in any way.

Players are free to get their money, I won't hate on them for that. It is up to the team to convince a a guy to take less if that is what they want.

 

This board has short-term amnesia as always.

Chris Paul already took a pay cut last season when he opted in to the final year of his previous contract and also declined his trade kicker before being traded by the Clippers. That pay cut is what allowed Morey to utilize the Mid-Level Exception to sign P.J. Tucker.

So yeah, Tucker is still here only because Paul took a pay cut. That was our secret handshake agreement.

 

this makes no sense, are you drunk?

 

The same team that would *not* have been #1 Seed had Paul switched GP with Harden.

The same Chris Paul that never sniffed a CF prior to playing with Beard.

It isn't a big deal for #1 reaching the CFs.

Unbelievable that so many can't acknowledge Paul being overpaid.

Good point regarding Brady and Duncan's already winning championships. Consider though, the biggest difference probably is both Timmy and Tommy were healthy at the time of their deals and finished the previous season. If Paul didn't already have a bad health history, one could maybe bypass the fact he was injured. But he doesn't, so it doesn't.

Management shouldn't have to convince "leaders" to do what's best for winning. Chris is overpaid. Period. If he ever says, "I just wanna win", or anything similar, you know it's a lie.

 

So basically what you are saying is the .000001% hope I had of cp3 restructuring is gone and now we going to see this guy getting paid 40 mil to play like a 20 mil player...

 

So we as fans have to get ****ed by his shitty contract

 

I would love to see the reaction of the league to Chris Paul handing House, Jr. $1,000,000 via PayPal along with a card saying, "Hey, stick around!" My guess is that Chris would be fined $1,000,000-Plus for attempting to circumvent the CBA and the league's rules and suspended for a number of games. The Rockets would have to prove they knew nothing about it, and even if they didn't, highly unlikely, who around the league would believe them? And don't think it wouldn't be found out because Chris used "PayPal." That's assuming House didn't say, "Wow! Thanks, Chris, but a million isn't enough. I need 3." All assuming that the President of the Players Association, Mr. Paul, would be willing to attempt such a thing. He would not. And that's not even getting into the consequences for House, Jr.

You do understand that this isn't a video game, don't you? It isn't Washington, D.C., either, but perhaps you can convince House to run for office and Paul, after registering as a PAC, could send it as a campaign contribution. Humor intended.
