    How about just reaching them first? We arent going to get CP3 so we can have a closer in the playoffs. He would come here to be basically the "coach on the court" which this team desperately needs.

    That's the problem with Cp3 he doesn't respect authority (the coach). He is at a stage where he doesn't listen to the coach anymore that's why he's not a good fit here. He's not alone on this Lebron, Cp3, Irving, KD all think they don't need coaching.

    We are gonna have a new HC we need someone who will follow him not challenge him.

    CP3 is the ultimate coach's player because he understands team defensive concepts and is a high iq floor general. He's a NBA coach's best friend. Wtf are you talking about?

    No wtf are you talking about? Cp3 knows bball play at a high level but doesn't mean he will follow what the coach says. He does what he wants to do on the court if you watched him he regularly waives plays off to do his own thing.

    It's the same thing with Lebron, KD and Kyrie these guys all understand bball at a high level but they don't follow the coach cuz they all think they are beyond the coach.

    I mean that's a really odd complaint. Did you ever hear a coach criticize CP3 for this? He's a pg. He has contextual awareness as a player on the court to make a informed decision to change a play. It's equivalent to a qb seeing a defensive scheme and audibling a different play to counter the new scheme.

    CP3 has more than earned the trust of NBA coaches to change called plays.

    Did any coach criticize LBJ or KD publicly for not following their plays?

    Yeah Cp3 has earned the cache but our rookies haven't so it's not a good practice to have your "role model" ignore what the coaches say. They gonna copy what he does and think they're the **** if they can ignore the coach.

    And the thing that grinds my gears with Cp3 is he is the choke God. He goes off script all the time but it always ends up in choke fest that's why he got waived. You'd think Suns coach would be happy to have the coach best friend to help right?

    **** Harden & CP3

    Let’s just go get Conleys 20million expiring. Throw in a bonus incentive if he gets us in the play in

    Worse than Harden
    Older than Harden
    Less willing to come back than Harden

    But sure why not he's better than the current crew

    Rockets traded CP3 + 2024 FRP + 2026 FRP + 2021 FRP swap + 2025 FRP swap for Russle Westbrook.

    We look ridiculous stupid. CP3 still wants to play for this stupid organization?

    More teams want CP3 instead of Harden.

    Does this give Philly leverage? They could let Harden walk then do a 1+1 with CP3. I think LA will ultimately be his destination, but it could give Philly a little pull.
