You're not thinking this one through. You don't give up Chris Paul to draft a rookie and run your offense through Blake Griffin.
If Crawford was younger I would definitely trade Chris Paul. Do you nikkaz really think it takes that much talent to throw a lob pass with Jordan and Griffin flanking the rim?

I know there's a huge agenda against CP on this site, and after this series especially I'm not going to try to fight said agenda, but if you're a clippers fan and don't see the importance of CP then I really do hope he leaves, so ya'll can go back to being a perennial lottery team.

The last two games where we started to take over the series, the only player I was worried about was CP3. He played great, nikkas expecting him to be Kobe/Jordan and shyt in the 4th but his frame is NOT built for that shyt. He can get you points, but he needs his teammates to step up when he gives them a good opportunity to score.

Solid player - The PG replacement for CP3.

You can find a few teams that would probably be willing to deal for him and get an excellent return :yeshrug:


Getting the rookie is for future purposes.
Replacing Chris Paul with a "solid" player immediately means this team regresses to being out of the playoffs for the next two seasons at least. What would be the point?

Nikkaz have amnesia this quick. Did you nikkaz just forget that the Clippers beat the Rockets without Chris Paul?

Bro, check the Clippers record when Paul didn't play, wasn't that bad, like 0.600

I'd move him for that package, they can keep Vonleh as long as I get their pick this year too.


Realistically, how much longer can he play at this level, and most importantly we know what they have isn't good enough to win it....
Vonleh is raw as shyt and I'm still not sure what to make of him.

Deandre and Blake + pick any variety of poison that doesn't contain a star player player/above average wing isn't going anywhere. Charlotte don't have what the Clippers need.

Paul has at least 5 good years left in him, his game is highly adaptable and he knows his strengths and weaknesses (probably even to a fault) well enough to scale down as required. Easy to forget that he's coming off by far his most efficient shooting season whilst putting up 19-10. The idea that he'll fall apart in the near future has no basis.

In the midst of all the drama we took the wrong lessons from this. A team doesn't get that close to a WCF if they're not good enough. They played like dikkless fools for a 5 quarters but they weren't beaten, they threw it away. The margins are too thin for such proclamations.

If they had closed out game 6 they probably still would have gone on to lose to the Warriors but the conversation we'd be having at that point would be drastically different and given how little can tip the balance that makes no sense.

So you're gonna pretend like Paul didn't have concerning injuries this year?
