    I don’t really like Holiday, but he does bring good 3 pt shooting when he is hot. Occasionally we need that skillset. I’m not sure we need another prolific middie shooter that could potentially disrupt team chemistry.

    Yeah but CP3 is just so much better at setting up plays and smarter about defense. I don't think he's any less of a spacer, defenders won't leave him open.

    Easy upgrade and it's just half a season.

    It’s not a secret, CP didn’t magically get booted from 2 teams harden played in less than 2 years of being on said teams when harden is known for not really being able to play or get along with other stars

    they’re also the opposite in mentality. James gets his and goes to the strip club. CP cares about winning to a psychotic abrasive level like Kobe

    Certainly unbecoming of a head coach.

    That second video is only part of the video. So people start speculating and coming up with opinions based on part of the video. The following is a more complete version. Harden told Lue CP3 wanted to name a play and that was Lue's response. It could just be banter, it could show Lue's disdain for CP3 - who knows :

    Of course there is the whole situation, CP3 wanted to go home and join a contender, found himself with a bottom team that is under investigation for fraud.

    Cp3 is very toxic. This is something said multiple times by multiple people talking about him.

    Not sure if you are young enough to play Mobas but he is that dude who never shuts up and blames everybody when he dies.

    People put up with him when he was good but now he is shooting 35% FG. Of course people outside is gonna side with him cuz it looks like he is holding the Clippers accountable and they suck, but true accountability starts within. If you are blaming others and you are playing the worst on the team how is that supposed to be a good thing? lol You can't act like Kobe if you play like Terrence Williams. Like why not just hire me? I can also be an annoying as F and demand accountability from everybody else. It takes zero effort to complain and demand everybody but you do better. I can complain 10x worse then Cp3 and also play 100x worse than him, no problem.



    Clippers didnt put up with his **** because they have Kawhi and Harden, two guys straight up better than him and Lue who has a ring. On our team I can totally see him pissing off KD with his nonstop yapping and blaming.

    "Hate" might not be the right word. But it's no secret that Harden didn't care much about CP3 on his team. It's a well known fact that Harden gave the green light to Tilman and Morey to do the Paul-Westbrook trade. How active that green light was is still being debated.

    From their standpoint, the CP signing in the summer was not necessary, they had Collins, they signed Beal and Lopez...

    I fully expected them to regret this, but I thought, well you just let him finish his tour......

    No doubt CP3 was the “Point God” in his time. I’ve never heard a bad thing about him except that he has a very high standard for himself and those he works with. Is it possible he’s the problem? Maybe his work ethic and bbiq make him just entitled enough that he becomes a problem. Especially now that he’s lost his fastball. I wouldn’t have thought this until the JVG clip but that has me wondering.

    Cp3 is going to be a good coach.
