    He didn't hold onto it - he couldn't sell it for what he was asking for it, apparently. He actually listed it for sale almost immediately after he was traded.

    No one is complaining about paying prime CP3 $50mil - he is one of the best of all time.

    Thread was started in Feb once Wemby went down, I bumped this just to avoid redundance.

    Well there you go....didn't have to buy him out in February and you don't have to buy him out now.

    Good work, keep the threads coming.

    CP3 wasn't happy with how the trade went down for Westbrook. He's not coming here

    Would be a fantastic pick up as a second coach, but yeah I can't see him coming back after how we did him last time.

    I saw how CP3 really changed the team when he played for them that period, that’s when they really started to take that next step. They took the Rockets to 7 games in that bubble playoff season when they had no business being there. CP3 was a great mentor. I would love to have him here again to really mentor and coach these young guys. Maybe Jalen can turn it around with a CP3 beside him.
