that's because new ownership knows this nikka isn't worth 30 Plus million a year at this point

Chris Paul, Rockets Have Tension On Contract Situation
- Thread starter Morethan1
- Start date
Chris Paul looking for 5 years??? 
I understand an agreement is an agreement but i can understand the Rocket's position here. They really should honor the agreement but they shouldnt have made it in the first place.

Anyone signing Chris Paul to the max will lose their job. He’s proven time and time again he can’t stsy healthy.

What agreement?
Give CP3 that max LA
Can't max him and Bron as outright free agents? Cap is 101 mill with the luxury tax threshold at 123 mill.
LWO at roughly 40 mill cap wise. How can we sign both?
The question is if paying him 40+ when he’s in his mid to late 30s is worth winning a title or two now. Assuming they can get it, they’re as close as anybody.Don't blame them after in 2 years he will be.
Making 40m per year for 5 year

I mean mathematically it is going to come down to him or Capella...the rockets max or near max both and they tax bill going to look like GS without all the titles...
Aint nobody trying to pay an extra 100 mil or more to go to the WCF
But the most Daryl Morey thing ever is to trade damn near a whole team and a 1st round pick for 1 year of a guy...only for that guy to get hurt when it matters most like Cp did...

It's funny how teams are close to winning chips but never wanna swing for the fences...
So say you don't pay CP3 what are you doing with that money?

Let him walk and try to find a cheap substitute if you can't get him to sign a 3 year.

Do you not know what a repeater tax is
Signing CP3 could cost the rockets 100 of millions of dollars in taxes down the road

Houston handcuffed though, they need him. Y’all see how Harden disappeared when Paul went down.

Trade CP3 for K. Leaonard for a one year win it all window...no way he walks after winning it all.
Try to allure George.....
HOU needs to resign Capela, but that nikka could turn into Tristan Thompson though...

You want to win chips you have to move the pieces to win....
Are they going to let Paul walk to get some other role players on short cheap contracts who don't move the needle on their championship aspirations...
Is it a risk...yes.....but if they are okay with being conservative for the next 5 years of hardens prime then personally I think they do themselves a disservice
