So if Moray doesn't give Paul a 4/5 year max deal, what happens if the Lakers off it to him and sign LeBron? Seems like were forced to give him the long deal or were screwed.
Why would we play hardball? Tilman is gonna pay, morey is going to recommend that they pay, and clutchfans is going to have to get over it. When we traded for cp3, it was always part of the agreement that the rockets would take care of cp3. Yall gotta chill and stop being so anal about cp3 getting a max.
I think @xaos meant he will be the first to commit out of our free agents. yall are takin him too literally
Well CP3 did sell his house. Here we all waved it off like "oh he's just going to move closer to the Toyota Center." Let him go to LA with Bron. I don't really care anymore. They won't beat the Warriors. We won't beat the Warriors. We can't realistically get LeBron without pipe dream scenarios where a team just happily takes Ryno off our hands. Not going to happen.
If he leaves or demands the max, we're not beating the Warriors either way. No one is because that team is full of superstars that are essentially paying to win championships.
CP3 just came off a 65 win season, finally breaking his "WCF Virgin" curse. You think this man was to go somewhere else at this moment?
First of all Cp3 isn't going anywhere, secondly if Cp3 does leave the oly team he will go to is the Lakers where he will play with Lebron. Lakers only have capspace for 2 max guys so that means Paul George will have to sign with us which woyld actually be better than signing just Cp3. TLDR: we win no matter what
If the most likely outcomes are... A) Harden, Paul, LeBron B) Harden, Paul C) Harden, George ...and we end up with C, that is not my definition of a win. Chris Paul is a top player at his position ever, and provides some of the best leadership in the game today; he's the guy who will right the ship when a storm rolls in. If we end up with Paul George, the leadership role falls back on Harden's shoulders again, and that's just not in his DNA. In my opinion, we stand to get significantly worse if this is the case.
