    Seems like CP3 is needed in a Rockets uniform to hold Udoka accountable. At least, I know several of our posters are ready to fire him lol.

    Seriously though, CP3 is just a competitive guy, but his leadership doesn't hold the same weight it use to since he's a shell of his former self. Father time caught up and no coach or player going to listen to some old man that is talking down the bench. If he wants to do that, then he needs to go ahead and retire this instant and join someone's coaching staff.

    I don’t think Paul has many fond memories of Houston. I doubt he would want to return. However, maybe he and Ime know each other and would want to team up. I’m not aware of Paul and Ime being that close, but I could be wrong. It seems that most players around the league have respect for Ime.

    You think He telling Lue something he doesn't already know?
    Unless I'm mistaken one has a ring and the other does not.
    Alot of times it's HOW you come at someone

    I don't think they could have kicked him though

    I can’t see Amen or Jabari taking any of Chris Paul’s sh*t

    KD too for damn sure

    KD having one of his off nights and old washed CP3 yapping in his ear

    I’d be ok with CP3 sitting on the bench, maybe called into duty when teams decide they want to pressure the ball handler. Someone in Reed and Amen’s ear.

    I think it’s an obvious fit. I’m REALLY surprised by the Clippers kicking him to the curb, he’s the best player in the history of their franchise. CP’s 2nd greatest moments were here. As short as his tenure was, he is arguably the best PG in the history of this team and was #2 on the winningest team in the history of this team. I would absolutely welcome him back to fill out this roster for one last ride. This team is tough and everyone holds each other accountable, CP fits right into that. I’d actually really like for him to finish his career here. He and Jeff Green can ride into the sunset together

    That little alien #10 will always be the best point guard to me. Hopefully 15 can take that mantle one day.

    He is not wrong, this job can tie in with another job at assistant coach......it is simply a continuation.

    We don’t need this union troublemaker. I’m not a big Ime fan, but he is all about the tough love. Paul and his a*hole brother would poison our locker room, and for what? An over the hill grumpy pg that is ring chasing. No f*cking thanks.

    damn…they hated his ass

    Chris Paul just seems hated in general…he’s having his “farewell tour” and nobody gives a fck

    best player in Clippers history, and they’re so over him they just sent his ass home

    It doesn’t feel that long ago when the Rockets seemed to be on top of the basketball world. 65-win season and first in the Western Conference (seven games ahead of Golden State). All those State Farm commercials… They had the Warriors on the damn ropes, about to go up 3-2, one game away from the NBA Finals, and then…

    Just bad ****ing luck.

    So Harden basically sfcrewed him twice.

    have a hard time believing he stood up for CP3

    the clippers are a lifelong loser franchise. You have to have players with Paul’s mentality like Kobe to turn it around. Including harden they’re all a bunch of guys that want to just **** around and goto strip clubs after
