    We should all teach our children the following very valuable lessons: 1. when you are unhappy or want to be somewhere else, you should fake the severity of an injury and then go through 11 doctor

  • No, we want them to be consistent and not be hypocrites. I would prefer that they shut up and dribble, shoot, pitch, hit, tackle or kick but if you are going to be “woke”, don’t stop being woke only

Here's the original tweet. I assume he's going the Horford route, trading down on APY for increased guaranteed money.

 

Wonder what they think he's worth. 4 for 80? 4 for 85? 

I don't think he would opt out for less.

Hope you are right and there is money out there this summer but man, I can't see giving him any deal that doesn't bring his cap number down significantly.    My guess is 3/45M and even a 15M/yr avg seems like a lot for him right now.

Well yea you live in Minnesota and don't have incredible street taco joints everywhere to choose from. It's like saying you'd crush some dickies bbq over Pecan Lodge.

So Chris Paul's uncle is running the show now??  😄

Didn’t morey dispute all the “sources” yesterday? Not saying it isn’t possible or maybe this is new “unnamed sources”.

Theres some.. but sometimes drive thrus are way more convenient than standing in line for your street taco

Well, shit. Now who's going to inform me on which insurance company to go with?

If I want gut rot I’ll go. I hit up taco bueno before taco fake meat bell. I stopped all that after I hit 35, drinking I can do but my stomach can only take so much. Lol.

CP3 is untradeable with that contract. The only way anybody would take that contract is if you threw in Harden, ironically. That would show both of 'em!

Think about what the Rockets would look like if they never made the CP3 trade. Their roster would have Patrick Beverly and Lou Williams (both insanely under market value), Montrezl Harrell, and the 2018 first round pick that turned out to be Alonso Spellman. Plus a shitload of cap space.

 
Couldn't he negotiate a buyout for like 10m and become a free agent immediately? I don't think there is a rule that limits how much money a player is allowed to give up on an existing contract.

LMAO at the thought of the president of the NBPA giving up a dime of guaranteed money.

But that front office is the best...

I never liked the pairing of CP3 and harden to begin with but they admittedly won way games than I thought they would.

Chris Paul has a $44M player option...

...for 2021-2022.

They'd have to eat someone's almost as shit contract. Probably multiple.

I'd give MJ a call, see if he wants to bring CP back home.

 Chris Paul is a goddamn cancer. He’s basketball herpes. How do you fuck up a max contract and James Harden as a teammate? 

Lakers-Cavs-Rockets three way incoming.

Love to Rockets

Paul to Lakers

Flotsam and jetsam to Cavs.

Only Pelinka would be stupid enough to trade for the right to pay $85 million to a mid 30's point guard in the last two years of his contract.  And Team Banana Boat will be on it's way, once they get Melo out of retirement.  

Little known fact: Carmelo wasn't on the banana boat. The 4th was Gabrielle Union.

Funniest part about this is neither the Rockets nor Lakers have any draft picks to throw in to make it happen. They've already burned them all up in other deals. I think they would have to move Capela for somebody to eat that albatross of a contract,

The Lakers have struck out in FA a lot lately, and the tax laws in California don't help when signing FA's.

Sad, but true.  The Rockets were trying to unload 4 first rounders last year for Butler, as I recall.  They probably have to offer the same 4 first rounders to get someone to take Paul off their hands.

 

The Lakers pretty much lost all control of their draft until after LBJ is 40.

Typical Surly post. Acting like you know something when, in reality, you’re clueless. After this draft, the Rocket’s have all of their 1st rounders.

Yeah, no one wants out of anywhere that badly.

Cp3 just disputed the entire thing as did morey yesterday. “Sources” is basically bullshit made up for clicks. Usually when it’s true cp3 and others don’t quickly dispute it publicly and stay silent until the trade happens like Dwight Howard does when their is real drama.

but whatever stops the State Farm commercials I’m all for so trade him.

85??   its 3 yrs 120M+   There is not one chance Paul isnt picking up that 44M option for the last yr

I saw that too. Weird. Yahoo usually isn't big on just throwing shit against the wall.

Well they don't have this year's pick because their new owner went cheap bastard on them. They can't trade next year's first rounder because of the Stepian rule. So I guess they have 2021 and beyond to trade. If you think a first round pick two years from now and another one four years from now is going to be enough to entice somebody to eat the worst contract in NBA history, then you're the one who's clueless.

Would you rather fuck John Wall’s contract, or Chris Paul’s? 

 

You have to be sober.

Well cp3 isn’t getting traded so it doesn’t even matter. I personally would love for the rockets to trade him but we are stuck with him. 

Y'all are too damn focused on Mamba on hot being a top-10 pick. My point was that the Lakers dont draft well in the lottery or has groomed a 1st rd pick into an All-Star. 

Kobe was the last 1st rounder to excel in the Lakers organization.

Fuck John Wall. Marry Mike Conley. Kill Chris Paul.
