    Do you have a better plan?

    Trying to form the banana boat is the best option at this point

    He rewrote the CBA so he and Lebron could get the 5 year max. I don't think he is taking any less.

    Hold on. He's averaging 28/9/8, is shooting 56/40/78, has started and played in every game for CLE this year, and is playing 37 minutes a game.

    I know I'm just going off the box score, but in what way has he shown signs of declining? Why do you think he'll suddenly have injuries, when he's never been injury-prone?

    I'm not a LeBron fanatic by any means, but the only decline I see, is his hairline.

    I am hoping that Paul takes a deal that allows a third star after we jettion Anderson and either Tucker or Gordon.
    5 years @ $24 million per... Sit out back to backs and play him 29 minutes a game in the regular season. Hope we get 4 out of 5 playoff runs with him healthy.

    The better plan is to trade high for stars and draft well.

    If we don’t make the conference finals this year, we package Clint and EG for an Anthony Davis caliber type player, the good free agents will come.

    I just do not want to be the team that has a 37 year old making a max salary. That is 100% mediocrity.

    There's really no such thing as an Anthony Davis type player. It's either him or nothing. And that's the problem to begin with. Clint is something special. You hire a new trainer that specializes in preventing injuries and you go with that. Don't trade away Clint Capela.

    Its clear as day cp3 a better conductor and playing much needed defense, composure and not melting down unlike the beard.

    Give him the extension man.

    Chris Paul is a pure ****ing winner. He plays as soundly and intelligently and as hard as you can every night.

    There are not many guys like that in the NBA.

    CP3 won't be resigned until late offseason along with capela just because the rockets will give the largest offer they can to lebron before resigning everyone.

    AD is made of glass. I'd much rather have Boogie.

    why not see if he would take pay cut for another star, worth a shot.

    Then you have guys like Brady and Duncan who play for discounts themselves instead of demanding the max in order to actually win championships.

    They were unbeaten with both Cp3 and Harden.

    Harden can't do it alone but he doesn't need that much help lol.
