    Do the Rockets take a flyer on him at the prorated vets minimum on him? It appears they are currently $1.25 million under the hard capped first apron. Im guessing ge probably wants a little more playing time than what the Rockets can currently offer.

    Having cp3 run the offense is going to be nice but I don't think he has a lot left in the tank

    Depth for a true point guard is a position of need on the team. There is value in CP3 even now. But as mentioned, though he should be low minutes backup, doubt it's what he himself even will accept

    Wow, didn’t see that coming, especially after he said he was retiring after this season.

    He set up UH with the Jordan brand, allegedly.

    Would be a perfect mentor for Reed as well - Reed would have two vets on his ass 24/7 in CP3 and FVV lol.

    Only problem is I doubt CP3 would want to come back to Houston given how Fertitta made certain comments on his way out.

    I'd be shocked if he didn't retire. He would be a perfect mentor for Reed, especially for defensive positioning and reading traps on offense.

    This is the real reason I'd want him. Wouldn't expect him to play that much, just be on the team and be a mentor to players.

    I don't know if he'd come back though but maybe between KD and Ime he'd be cool with it. Also, if he wants to be a coach following his playing career he could slide right in to the coaching staff.

    I bet he goes to the other LA team to be with Bron though.

    The mind of CP3 is worth it for our young guys to learn from
