    The concerning
    Chris Paul, Houston Rockets
    When Paul is healthy, he still is one of the best in his league at the position. But he seems to be injured often, and scouting reports detail reduced mobility. Injuries seem to have affected him all season; his scoring and shooting numbers have dropped to around career lows. Part of it could be workload: Paul, 33, is playing his highest average of minutes in four years. It's fair to wonder how his four-year, $160 million contract will look over the long haul.

    Well, this thread was a joke to start. Then enough people started to take it seriously to give the OP grief for even the suggestion. NOW, the Rockets are 2-0 and the best offense in the league with Austin Rivers and people are starting to believe..

    This thread has rebounded on itself twice in just a couple of days. it's out of control.

    But you have to consider the lack of control of your fellow Clutchfans. Can't be handing out matches to these kids.
