Chris Paul has every right to mad at that bum Deandre Jordan but from Jordan's perspective there is no incentive for him to improve his game. Why should he? He is coming off of a 48 million dollar deal and will be given a max contract by the Clippers. All he does is lob dunk and he is gonna be broken off..
It’s the AAUization of the NBA.. Nobody has a post game and they don’t need to develop one cause you can still get a max contract off of just being athletic

But melo is 6'7 and paul is 6'0. Its much easier for Melo to take over a game than it is for paul. Its not efficent for a pg to take over the game and win it by mainly scoring consistently from game to game. That was evident with iverson and its evident presently with russell, who had an mvp srason but couldn't will his team past a bigger player who also had an mvp season in anthony davis and you cant sit there and say that davis had a better team or better supporting cast over russell.

Come to houston paul. Well appreciate you
What kind of dumb shyt is this? Using the Westbrook versus Davis comparison as if both teams didn't have the exact same record and the main reason Pelicans made the playoffs was off a lucky ass Anthony Davis three pointer.

ATL…overly
Getting Walker, MKG, Vonleh and their pick this year would be a better foundation moving forward since the current roster is already maxed out. By the time the new cap takes affect Cp3 will be 31 turning 32, they will have another wasted season behind them. That is why you trade him for players that can contribute now, a prospect and a lottery pick. That gives them a chance to stay competitive, with the potential of being even better when the young guys develop, again Blake and DeAndre are only 26, if their window shuts it's because CP3 has lost a step and at that point he's done. You say CP3's game isn't based on athleticism, and that isn't really true, he's one of the quicker PGs in the league and that isn't going to last another 5 years, this is a dude that had his meniscus removed so the window for him isn't as wide as you may think, all it takes is one lost step.

The problem isn't Blake and DeAndre's lack of smarts, it's the fact they are constantly being attacked so they are going to make mistakes. When you have JJ Redikk and Matt Barnes on the perimeter, your frontline is always going to be under pressure. Neither guy is a great defender, but the amount of times they're challenged per game just makes the problem even worse, Redikk was better this year but he's not a great defender by any stretch and Matt Barnes is just a turnstyle on defense.


Nobody can explain to me how this team is going to get better, this is the quote from today -




They plan on going after minimum salary guys in a year teams are expected to be willing to overpay to get wing guys :francis: They've been together for 4 years now, it isn't working and the moves Doc has made in the past means they have no depth, no assets, no capspace and no way to really improve other than moving one of their main guys, or just waiting for the cap to increase. LeBron, Bosh and Wade had more support, were better players and almost everyone agreed that them breaking up was inevitable because of the fact they couldn't get better rotational players, yet the Clippers should stick it out?

@ the bolded, there is no way that that group of players is better than CP3 right now on a Clippers team that is a contending team in the West. If those players come to the Clippers in exchange for CP3 that team takes a step backward in the West and the window for a championship is completely closed. If Doc can get a real GM in there, they can find players who can fit their system and bolster their frontline. But that trade suggestion (if I understand you correctly) is terrible, no way you do that

But yet melo is criticized for the same thing while cp3 just skates on by with the teammates excuse . ( not saying you criticize melo ) when has melo ever had a Blake level player ?

Have you been paying attention? :wtf: Everybody, everywhere is all over CP3, there is no more skating. BTW you don't see any difference between getting bounced in the 2nd round of the playoffs in the West and missing the playoffs entirely in the East :ld:. What exactly would Melo do with a Blake level player but fail to fit in with him like he did with Amare when he arrived in NY?

I didn't say they'd be better with those players, I said those guys would be able to contribute and the potential of adding a lottery pick ontop of them makes the trade worth it. The championship window is already closed, this team is not beating a healthy Thunder squad, like @Gil Scott-Heroin said this was their best chance at getting to the WCF and they still couldn't do it. If the Thunder are healthy next year the Clippers have absolutely no chance of beating them with a 36 year old Matt Barnes at the 3 :russ:

Bruh, please outline how a team that is capped out with no assets and no picks gets better when they have gone on record saying they can only go after minimum salary players. Everyone just talks about them getting better without even saying how because there's no realistic way for them to improve enough to win a title. There are other trades to be made, @Hersh posted a good one where the Clippers get Lawson, Chandler and then you could throw on their pick this year as well.
