MJ is involved in this so I'm gonna default to it being a bad move until proven otherwise. Actually it is a Mitch Kupchak move. Mitch signed Mosgov to that horrible contract in LA, he's now the GM in Charlotte.

June 21, 20187 yr Even if LeBron does stay...no good player is going to want to play with Dwight ever again. The Cavs have enough tendency to turn on each other and roll their eyes as is. I doubt that potentially facilitating Dwight's reclamation story is of any interest to Bron.

I hear you but I think he would be a CHEAP and huge upgrade from Tristan.
June 21, 20187 yr Author Quote The Mavs believe they have a strong chance of signing DeMarcus Cousins in free agency this summer, according to Michael Scotto of The Athletic. Adrian Wojnarowski has also mentioned that the Mavs are expected to go after a center in free agency, and Cousins grew up somewhat near Dallas as an Alabama native. Cousins is progressing in his rehab as he is already doing work on a treadmill with some conditioning in a pool. He likely won't be 100 percent to start this upcoming season.

June 21, 20187 yr Alabama is somewhat near Dallas? Lulz. Such a fucking reach of a reason why he might sign in Dallas. Hell Darren Williams grew up just miles away and didn't sign here.

I was talking about teams like the Nuggets, Trailblazers, and Thunder. Teams that may pay the tax, but not having the on court success they want. I'm not sure how that revenue is distributed, but I know a lot of owners are allergic to paying it.
June 23, 20187 yr Author https://sports.yahoo.com/rumor-tension-between-chris-paul-182131023.html Quote From what I’m told, there is tension now between Houston and Chris Paul. Because there was definitely some type of handshake, wink wink, “we’re going to max you out” last summer. But here’s the thing: Now, they’re not so sure. Houston, with good reason, doesn’t want to do that. But they’ve got an out, because they have new ownership. So, Daryl Morey can go to Chris Paul and be like, “I want to do it, but we’ve got the new owner doesn’t want to give you five years, four years.” Grain of salt.... It's from multiple sauces. Edited June 23, 20187 yr by Patrick Bateman
June 23, 20187 yr thats a tough one. hed be 37, 38 when its done and obviously has 1 or 2 elite years left... i know i know, they took GS to game 7...if that series was played 10 times, GS would win 7-8 of them...This year was one of the 2 Houston would've won but CP3 getting injured obviously nixed that Edited June 23, 20187 yr by MNLonghornFUKM
June 23, 20187 yr CP3's penchant for annual injuries at the worst times is also probably weighing on Houston's mind as they decide whether or not to offer the max.

June 23, 20187 yr Does Chris Paul believe his one season with the Rockets including missing the two most important playoff games of the past 20 years, entitles him to $25M+ guaranteed for more than 4 years when he’s 38, averaging 10/7 in 25 mpg for the half season he plays?

Correct. He already gave up money by opting in so he could be traded to fit in the cap. He also was the Rockets' best player in the most important series until he blew out a tire..... which objectively, is a historic issue for him. He's going to get the max or close to it somewhere. He already sacrificed for the organization, time to make good on their end is generally how players see it.
June 23, 20187 yr Lebron should be scratching Philly from his list. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-5877991/Kendall-Jenner-Ben-Simmons-prove-going-strong-seen-leaving-Hollywood-club.html "Kendall Jenner and Ben Simmons prove to be going strong as they are seen leaving a West Hollywood club together"
June 23, 20187 yr Will these guys never learn? Is Lamar Odom still alive to talk to these young guys?
June 24, 20187 yr Correct. He already gave up money by opting in so he could be traded to fit in the cap. He also was the Rockets' best player in the most important series until he blew out a tire..... which objectively, is a historic issue for him. He's going to get the max or close to it somewhere. He already sacrificed for the organization, time to make good on their end is generally how players see it. The Clippers weren't giving him a supermax to begin with. He hasn't sacrificed anything. If he wants 4 years 140m from another team in free agency, he can go find it. KD is willing to take $10m paycuts to win rings, why they fuck won't Chris Paul? At least make the last year or two team options and it's all good, but the team can't do it with no protections.
June 24, 20187 yr Paul wouldn’t take a deal like that but it’s the most fair to all parties. The Rockets shouldn’t be forced to over pay for the years he feels underpaid for in NO and LAC. Good point on KD. 2nd best player on the planet takes multiple submax deals to form the greatest team ever. Paul demanding supermax basically shuts down Rockets opportunity to improve their odds any better than this past year, and dooms them to dead cap garbage in 2021 and beyond.

He could have opted out and signed a deal in Free Agency which would have paid him about 10 million more this season, that's his sacrifice from his perspective, a S&T with 2 and 1 PTO. Both sides will have their perspectives, but I wouldn't fuck around too much. Doesn't sound like Lebron is considering Houston and there will be other suitors....
