That ship has sailed. He is going to be overpaid but that doesn’t mean he should be played more minutes because of his contract value.
Ennis is also injury prone on his hammy. He plays less minutes than old Chris but still injures his hammy a second time.
Not if that player is a key piece to winning a ring. What ultimately matters is his health and play in the playoffs. If he’s healthy and plays at a star level which helps us win a ring, then it’s worth it. Whether or not he’s worth 40 mil will be decided after the regular season ends.
Ha! Give it another 20 years! (55, which still looks wrong when I actually write it) But 32 is a relevant age...that's when your body, athletically, can start to feel 'old'. CP3 is on the other side of 32...and he ain't going back.

I'm sure that was the thinking. Yet how valuable can you be if you're constantly sitting on the bench? As they say, the single most important ability is availability. Otherwise you can only demonstrate your importance by how much your team struggles when you're out. And you have to get into the playoffs (and preferably in a favorable position). If the team is playing well enough to do that...again, how important is he, really? And honestly, NO ONE is worth $40 mil if they're unavailable for the regular season. NO ONE. Do YOU get paid just for the last 2 weeks of the year? Or do they expect you to be there the other 50?
CP3: Just rest, rehab, and practice 3s and FTs until April 14. We need a fresh CP3 for the run. Keep that point god in a glass box until then. Also, it’ll give BK a chance to develop. He’s been showing some signs of basketball life. For now, we need to find a proper, tall, big, rebounding PF. 0 points from tired 6’6” PJ Tucker last night, and just getting killed on the boards, makes this problem nag like a damn toothache. And if you’ve ever seen someone die from a neglected toothache, you know it ain’t pretty.
cp3 only played 31.8 minutes per game last year and still only played only 58 games. we also had 2 short playoff series until the WCF and he still blew his hamstring out. dude is old and injury prone. it is what it is.
Would be great if that worked though wouldn't it? He would be so out of game shape though that jumping right into playoff intensity he would be more likely to get injured, hahaha
Dude is old and injury prone AND costing $40M/year. That is what it is. Need that last part in there. Lots of old injury prone players. NONE of them make $40M/y.
Ok, start him up a month before the playoffs, then. Just don’t waste his hammies on the grind. While I guess some folks are rich enough to use a vintage Gullwing SL300 for a daily driver, I don’t know if Tilman’s in that class.
So im currently studying to become a personal trainer and some things that they suggest with hamstrings is that he may be quad dominant and not working enough of his hamstring and/or the rep ranges may be too low ,1-6 rep and shoukd be doing more high rep to become more finess,meaning its easier to pull a hamstring with low reps ,oddly they said that his lower core may be weak too,suggest working the lower abs because they work together with the quads body,Ive seen workout videos were college and professional athletes squat and power clean but if you're quad dominate then it lifts most if the weight while your hamstrings will lack,now in a game if it happens that somehow your body shift weight to a certain area like from quad to hamstrings then you may pull the muscle if its weak.
Good info and post, but you'd hope that the Rockets training staff would be well aware of this, and much more, and ensure that ALL their players are on a program that rectifies any imbalance issues....ESPECIALLY if said player is injury prone and a $40M investment.
A lot of these injuries are on MDA he doesn't know how to manage his players there all going to be hurt or burned out by the time playoffs start.
Hamstring injuries are a body mechanics injury - it's hard to fathom that Paul doesn't have trainers who specialize in preventing hamstring injuries and all the things that cause them at this point. I hope it's not a chronic condition
This is very true, but if the Clippers trainers, his personal trainer and the Rockets trainers haven't figured that out and done focused work on strengthening the hammys, well I don't know how they all have their jobs.
