    I think he is listening now and would take just about anything back in trade to to come out somewhat clean.

    Cap is 101 million. 50% of money goes to Paul/Knight. What is their production?

    You DARE criticize Morey????!!!!! The greatest GM in NBA history???!!!!! He is playing chess while we r all eating baby food!!!! Chris Paul at 40 million will be a steal in year 3! By then the cap will be 250 million and 40 million will be the MLE. Everyone knows that

    what's really worrisome to me is not his lack of explosiveness, it's that he seems to have lost confidence in his shot. last year i thought nearly everytime he had a wide open three that it was going in. this year he seems even reluctant to take those same shots.

    Its already hard trading him with the 40 mil + per
    year, good luck Moray with his injuries to boot. :(

    Reminds me of Cato' preaseason, as for Paul a good playoff performance at age 33 warrants a 40 mil.

    This is one instance of a contract that can cripple a franchise. Closest I can think of are john walls and blake griffins.
