    He will sign his 5 year max with us next season. Relax... do you read anything. He's already informed the Rockets he will stay after next season.

    He can sign an extension with us now.. Let's see if he will. I doubt this is a rental

    My only hope now is that we don't land Carmelo Anthony. That would be a huge negative no matter what skills he brings.

    That is just mind boggling. Jerry West has outsmarted Morey. If we got CP3 for 3 years, I would be ok with that.

    Daryl Morey has Bob Meyers bamboozled!

    Him opting in allows us to make other moves. He will not sign the extension now.

    The cllippers don't have enough roster spots to complete this trade right now. 21 vs 20. Got to let someone go.

    Him playing in an off-ball role (like he does in the Olympics) and next to two great playmakers would be a great asset in this offense. Open shots for Melo all day and a 3rd dangerous shot creator, plus good rebounder.

    I don't understand if Harden, Paul, morey, and MDA are all want him then don't you think they know what they're talking about compared to you?

    I hope he signs that 5 year contract so we can pay him 40 mill at 38 years old.

    Several of the players involved in the trade will be cut.

    If we lose in 2nd round, and yes its one year rental.

    If we make WCF, and give a real fight to Warriors, not just Paul, another big name will join in 2018

    Good God, dude, why do you assume CP3 won't re-sign here?

    Wait........were you the poster so assured that the Spurs were in the driver's seat as far as CP3? Forgive me if it was another poster.

    In any case, take a breath. Who said we're just renting? It's a buyer's market!

    That first is basically a 2nd round pick with 1st round money. It was pointless.

    Lebron would be intersted i feel, if he didnt receive such a backlash for leaving clevelend for miami and then returning to cleveland.
