Is the CP3 contract already a negative contract?

    If Chris Paul is limited by some nagging injury all the time, is he not just in his resting baseline state? We might have another Tracy/Yao situation on our hands. At best it feels like 2015-2016 all over again.

    so regular season games are important to you?
    you want to win them all otherwise its bad, or how many youd like for them to win it?

    It’s a bad contract. It has always been a bad contract and it’s going to get worse as he gets older.

    Next summer, I think Knight has more trade value than CP3.

    Someone here says cp3 is worth only 15 million a year.

    my point of view is

    first year: 25 million

    2nd 20

    3rd 15

    4th 10

    "Equally good like the last year"

    CP3 last year - 46% from the floor, 38% from 3, 91% from the line
    CP3 this year - 39% from the floor, 29% from 3, 76% from the line

    If you think Chris Paul doesn't care about these games, you know less than nothing about Chris Paul.

    Please avoid this happened.

    2 bad contracts sunk the team to the bottom.

    Tilman is not willing to pay big luxury tax and wants to win championship, so this team will never and never have this size of bad contract like Chris Paul.

    trade?

    Overpaid? Yes

    Negative? Probably

    Just hope we're healthy for the playoffs (and stay that way) and are gelling. I don't care as much about the regular season since we nabbed 65 wins last year. Our previous record of 58 was somewhat lame.

    Of course. In the last 20 years, all NBA champions have been at least a 3 seed or higher. So I'd like them win enough to be a top 3 seed.

    We knew that the contract would out last CP's usefulness on court. Any fool could see that. And Morey is anything but a fool.

    His value was last season, and his ability to recruit guys like Carmelo Anthony... wait.

    Looks like a shell of himself out there. This is going to be the worst contract of all time.

    We’re stuck with that contract for four years.

    I can’t believe this is how they’re going to waste harden’s prime.

    I think all of us knew he'd be wildly overpaid the last 1-2 years of this contract, I just don't think any reasonable person could have expected this sharp of a decline only a few months after the level he was at during last season's playoffs.

    It’s beyond injuries. Clearly lost a step
