    Right, it's a HIGH price, but we aren't just making the trade for Chris Paul, we are making the trade to keep Paul at $24 million.

    However, it's a GREAT deal for the Clippers. If they are going to rebuild they could easily deal off Bev and or Lou for first round picks.

    You have to take into consideration that by trading for him instead of signing him, it saves us $10m in cap space. He would have signed for $34-$35m I believe.

    We added a top 10 player.

    Lebron and Wade were ball dominant.

    Lebron and Kyrie were ball dominant.

    CP3 and Harden have exceptionally high IQ's on the offensive end, they will find a way to coexist.

    Paing @BimaThug what does it mean for us salary cap wise now that CP3 is only a 24mil player? Can we afford to sign someone outright at max if we get rid of Ryno?

    He's almost assuredly going to sign an extension.

    Why did we give up so much to get him if he will be a free agent?

    In terms of value to this team, you think chris paul is going to bring more value alone than Bev, dekker and lou?

    The deal wasn't worth it.

    That's a good deal. Yeah we lost Bev and Lou. But Dekker was absolute scrubbish and 1st wont be much

    Now let's go to work and get PG or Millsap
