    Good to see you posting so regularly.

    I still wonder to whom you're referencing off the Wizards. And Nic? Somebody help me. Claxton is the only Nic I can think of.

    EDIT: Oh, wait. Batum.

    True, but Rockets have interest in him for a reason. I am assuming the FO and Coaching staff know more than we know.

    That reason is what? Getting older is not smart. The Rockets need to quit now and re think what they did in the offseason.

    With the current cap situation and salaries, they don't have many options. You take a flyer on CP3 and if he sucks then you cut him.

    Reading stuff like this makes me really want CP3 on the team, even if he's washed. How many NBA players have personal subscriptions to second spectrum? How many of them know how to use the site and use the filters to search up specific clips so they can know how to guard specific players? Stuff like this is so cool to read, and this is why I'd want him on the team. I don't even care if he sucks.

    So you being Paul in and then you've got the coaching staff, Fred VanVleet, Kevin Durant AND Chris Paul in Reed Sheppard's ears all at once.

    Poor guys head might explode.

    Couldn't be any worse than when we signed Ty Lawson.

    Chris Paul will help all of the guards that have ball handling duties decrease the high clip of turnovers we produce. That’s the main flaw of this team. Turnovers.

    Brother if things go bad with CP3 and we have to cut him the media will destroy us. Given CP3's temperment and KD having no filter Im gonna say no thank you. Its just asking for disaster.

    I imagine the only way Rockets trade for CP3 is that they allow Udoka a meeting with CP3 to discuss dynamics and vision. I also imagine the front office meeting with KD and ensuring that he is good with it. With CP3 strong personality they will definitely consult with Udoka and KD. I know CP3 is washed, but my gut tells me he still has a little bit left in the tank, but he probably just hasn't gotten fully warmed up yet for the season due to the older legs. I have a feeling he would help us come playoff time because we are going to need someone that can help relax the team and if they get turnover heavy, then you definitely someone that can take care of the ball even if they are old as ****.

    You don't need Chris Paul to do that. Any/every NBA team has the ability to give a player an Ipad + subscription and employs someone (multiple) in their Nerd Cave who could easily show players how to use it.

    This is a classic case of you talking out of your ass, DD.

    Yes, let's freaking do it. Amen and Reed need it. We need a 20 minute PG so we can do other things with Reed and even Amen sometimes.

    I think they've learned all they can learn from FVV. CP3 is slightly credited with developing SGA. Kind of an offensive assistant too.

    Good enough for us given our limited tools for improvement this season. Doesn't have to be the last move we make this season.

    Works well, get it done.

    It's weird to see how many people want to add someone to our 16-6 team who couldn't help the 6-19 Clippers.

    The Clippers had that same meeting lol Imagine one of us being able to sit on the sidelines and talk to players and tell them what they think is wrong. THAT IS CP3. He will likely be right ofcourse but its gonna clash with Ime and KD because they both have been doing stupid things lately. CP3 will get cut again and we will look like assholes.
