So Paul can hold the ball for 16 seconds before passing it to him
Kawhi gets almost no catch and shoot opportunities since nobody outside of manu really gets him the ball in a position to catch and shoot, and he doesn't play with manu all that much. If Paul comes here his catch and shoot numbers are going to go WAY up by virtue of how good of a pg Paul is. Doesn't really matter if he holds it 16 seconds or not...
Kawhi also won't have to guard point guards anymore since Paul is plenty good enough to hold his own against all but the best of the best.
Doubling Kawhi is going to be out of the question because Paul is a far superior catch and shoot guy over parker...probably even over mills...
He is going to turn Dedmon into Deandre for probably half the cost contract wise...
I don't want Paul in swag antonio cause then Dejounte probably gets moved to the two and I want Dejounte at the point, but make no mistake about it if Paul came he by himself would cover up almost every basketball flaw this team has...
I shyt on Paul as much as the next person...but it is funny how IT is the celtics best player and most people say they need another star cause IT is just to small to carry a championship team in the playoffs...yet paul is roughly the same size and people constantly talk about how he can't carry the clippers and he chokes all the time...

So many damn excuses in here
Austin Rivers is making $11 Million Jamal "And 1" Crawford pulling $15 Million DeAndre still can't hit free throws

I've been saying the exact same things for years now. I pretty much wrote the scripture on ball-dominant, pass-first PGs.
Chris Paul led teams just have complete breakdowns in the playoffs. He's the one constant. Don't forget about this gem 58 point loss at home in the playoffs
58 point loss at home in the playoffs
Trash roster but CP3 has the ball in his hands alot so he should be scoring more points.

A few problems with this, you're doing a lot of juelzsantanagif from your original point which was using Game 6 as an example of Curry not showing up and Klay saving the day - you're wrong on that point. Yes Klay did have the better performance, but let's not act like Curry wasn't right there with him contributing at a high level (Curry had 22 points in the second half and Klay had 25 - they combined for 78% of GS' total points in the second half).
Furthermore, don't marginalize Curry's performance to just his scoring, as if he wasn't playmaking/getting guys open looks either from direct passing (9 assists), off-ball and on-ball gravity which opened up the floor for his teammates and secondary looks (he led that series in secondary assists). Nobody ever likes talking about just how much offensive impact he has even when he isn't scoring - he's the MAIN reason why the Warriors end up having so many open looks - he's the nucleus of it all. Not to mention he held Westbrook to low efficiency scoring (32% shooting) and a high-turnover rate when he was the primary defender (defended more shots than any other Warriors player) during that series.

Of course it simply isn't all on ONE player (nobody is saying that), the point is CP3 has more say than practically every other player on his team in regards to how they perform. His team goes as he goes, not only because he dominates the ball more than anyone else, but because he's the leader of the team. He's held to a higher standard than any of his teammates. Folk don't get to pick and choose when to hand out the blame/praise - praising him when the Clippers win and absolving him of all the blame when they lose. A lot of folks on this board have a hard time acknowleding that CP3 plays a major part in the Clippers' postseason woes, they seem to think that he isn't to blame at all.
@Malta Why you dapped dis, cuz?Chris Paul led teams just have complete breakdowns in the playoffs. He's the one constant. Don't forget about this gem
