    With Paul’s declining play and now all these hammy issues he has zero value on the open market

    You guys are ****ing annoying. Who the hell did y'all want Morey to sign if we didn't sign Capela and Paul. Stop ****ing b****ing. Paul on this team was the best freaking chance we had at competiting. No other superstar was going to walk through that door.

    Stop b****ing. In this league, top talent is paid. Rarely does top talent take pay cuts outside of b****ass Durant. So stop ****ing b****ing about Paul and Capela getting paid. Holy ****, going to lose my ****ing mind reading the stupidness of the posts.

    It's not as if Harden can carry a team to the championship with just a bunch of solid role players. Who did y'all want to sign?

    I swear man, y'all sometimes are clouded by your emotions that you can't think straight. This team needs Paul, it's the truth. Without him, we would be back to just being a 1st or 2nd round team. Yeah, he has health issues, but this is always the risk with Paul. It was either resign Paul or just give you and start rebuilding.

    Stop b****ing.

    Funny, that's what Daryl said when asked "When will you get some help in here?" "It'll be some time."

    Paul had hamstring and knee problems almost every month last year, yet we sign him for way too much anyway. His contract was a huge mistake. We can't win with him out, yet we can't depend on him to stay healthy. I am so bummed right now that we didn't get a younger healthier star for all that money. I'm also upset that our winning streak came to an end, and unless we get another more durable star another chance at a Championship could be lost again. I blame this all on A guy who can't stay healthy and isn't worth 40 mil and so many traded players. I like Paul as a man, but think his deal has killed our future if he continues having all these health issues.

    He was way overvalued when we first traded half the team to get him. Then he proved the injury proneness was still there by missing games every month and in the playoffs when we needed him most. Did he lose his value after all that to our GM? Nope, he got a big fat raise and a ridiculous contract and we had to say bye bye to yet two more starters, Morey made a big fat mistake, and Morey should have seen that this is how his future would be after last year. I do believe in miracles, and I am still hoping somehow his hamstring and knee problems miraculously come to a stop, but I am afraid it simply won't happen.

    Then maybe the dumbass GM and idiotic coach shouldn't play him as much.

    Also on Chris if winning is his intention, you can't simultaneously handicap your team with the salary and expect to super max win also

    When we first got him we gave enough value for a first ballot HOF in his prime but no one could have foreseen such a rapid decline in his play in one season especially considering how great he looked last season

    No offense, but if I saw it our GM should have. It just seemed like common sense to me to see this coming. I mean there was only one month last year that he didn't sit out some games for his knee or hamstring. Only one! It's not rocket science to see the pattern repeated itself all year long, and again in the Finals. I had a sick feeling he couldn't last through the whole playoffs because of his tendency to fall lame every month, and unfortunately he did. That should have been a big warning sign with train blowing sound effects and a flashing red light in a Morey's eyes to NOT base all our hopes and dreams on him being miraculously cured and falling in the fountain of youth to give us 4 more years, and flash so much money at him that they had to give more starters up as well. I simply hated the deal!

    I know people won’t like this and CP might not like it but Austin Rivers could help some. He may not wanna joint us though either. The tax penalty is probably too much for Tillman anyways. I think faried is a free agent too. One thing it true they need depth
