CP3 May not resign [Bill Simmons tweet so grain of salt needed]

I Can't believe a lot of you have such short memories. It has been said numerous times Lin and Harden can't coexist because both need the ball in their hands to properly function. Lin excelled in New York and Harden in OKC because they were both primary ball-handlers. Now Harden shines, but on Lin's account. So what would happen if CP3 came? Harden would have to become a spot-up shooter/slasher? I really don't understand your logic.

 

Not sure if someone mentioned but unoficially think about trading Bledsoe, Griffin and Butler for Pierce and Garnett. So, CP3 may go also. And now we have big chances to pick him up

 

unoficially Clippers think*

 

Pierce and Garnett is an upgrade over flopcity and can't shoot. It's a short term upgrade, but Clips would be in win now mode.

CP3 would be gambling a 1 time shot for a ring, or moving to a team with many years. Garnett and Pierce still know how to win, just have to manage their minutes. Clips have lots of depth.

 

Harden would be more efficient that way, and his TOs would go down as well

 

"Re-sign" not "resign". I certainly hope Chris Paul doesn't retire in his prime.

 

Paul is going to determine where he wants to go, so a sign-and-trade also could be a possibility.

I doubt KG & Pierce get traded, more likely they retire first.

A possibility is that Boston trades Rondo for Paul in a sign & trade. Could see that happening.

 

I doubt Paul would go to Utah, but he is the missing piece for them being a legit top 3 team in the West.

To think they nearly made the playoffs with the carousel of half a season of Mo Williams, Tinsley, and Randy Foye manning the point guard position this year.

Paul, Hayward, Millsap, Favors, Jefferson & Kanter is a solid core to work with, Burks has loads of potential as well.

 

I was talking about Utah as a team that would take Lin for nothing.

 

From Paul and the whole AAU brigade, the general feeling coming out of it is that he doesn't want to go east, he wants to win the western conference and face team voltron in the finals.

 

A lot of people wondered how Lebron and Wade would co-exist and they've managed just fine. If you have a chance to get two of the top 5 or 10 players in the NBA, you do it then figure out the rest.

 

This for sure.

 

This is the bottom line.
