    Please be true. CP3 to the Spurs, Blake Griffin to the Rockets in FA. Ryan Anderson sent to NY for Carmelo.

    Go to war. ;)

    I think Boston can. With those picks and all those assets they could get it done.

    I mean is Chris Paul even a winner? He looks good, but his team always disappoints.

    As a fan, I hope he joins the Spurs and tears down the Clippers. Spurs are a 60+ win team regardless, so he might as well join.

    That's a fair question. But, I think Harden has done more with less than Chris Paul. So, at this point, I would say Harden is closer to being a winner than Paul.

    don't think so but regardless, you're questioning cp3 as a winner when hes lead his teams to winning seasons and the playoffs on a consistent basis throughout his career dating back to his young days. Hes far from a losing player. So if you're going to question cp3 as a winner, keep it consistent with our very own james harden who hasn't done much different

    Except one player has been to the Finals and WCF twice, while the other guy is Chris Paul.

    Who did he play with in that final appeareance and wcf again? Ok. As far as his lone other time, Yeah he made it to the wcf on his own team yet was on the bench in one of the most crucial games to get there. Next

    A Carmelo-Harden-Griffin core would be SO bizarre. But entertaining at least.

    DeAndre Jordan and Blake Griffin are both better than any Rockets player Harden's ever played with -- and that includes the low post juggernaut who wore #12.

    Sure. My how casual people are impressed with guys that can dunk a ball multiple times in a game by relying on one person to get them that

    Btw deandre jordon won't ever come close to the player Dwight was in his career. Say what you want about dwight but dj wishes he could have the same impact on winning Dwight had but it's just not possible. #notimpressed #foolsgold #runsbacktola

    Jalen Rose has this locked down: he ain't leaving $40 million and the LA lifestyle for San Antonio.

    This talk is either for Paul to pressure the Clippers to give him the super max or for the Clippers to justify the super max that they have already decided to give him.

    Harden is the better player and the younger player.

    Chris Paul the 28 year old would be interesting. Him and David West were pretty good.

    You are always a loser unless you turn the corner to become a winner.

    Spurs is probably the only place he can at least contend for a Conference title.

    Do the Clippers REALLY want to pay Paul an average of $40m per season starting from when he's 32 for 5 years? I wonder if they're better off looking for a trade partner.

    I really think that the Spurs are one of the only few places that nearly any player can succeed at. I'm pretty sure this is to generate competition between bidding teams to drive up the cost to sign CP3.

    It'd be interesting to see the Clippers core spread out to other teams but I don't really see CP3 leaving LA unless it's a sure thing. Even with the Spurs getting CP3, what are they going to do with LMA? I wouldn't mind the Rockets trying to get into that action and getting LMA without having to give up too many players.

    LMA for Capela, Nene, and Beverley. Who says no?

    Invalid trade is invalid. Nene is a free agent.

    ...and I would not trade for LaMarsha.
