CP3 likely teams:

1. Minny - Rosas is there, they need a PG badly. They got the bad contracts to make it happen.
2. Miami - They got the bad contracts but man, do they want CP3 contract? IDK.
3. DET - CP3 contract a beast but Reggie Jackson and a bad contract is possible. DET - CP3 contract a beast but Reggie Jackson and a bad contract is possible.
4. Orlando - Least likely to want CP3 contract and only bad contract they got is Mozgov's.

Chris Paul complements Butler. Getting rid of Dragic and Johnson makes this deal possible especially since Dragic is an expiring deal.

This is a win for the Rockets...

Russ is 4½ years younger, 3 years younger experience-wise, so it extends the Rockets window...

Russ is also still a Top 15 player---->albeit, seemingly on the decline and near the bottom of that 15, but he's still a Top 15 player. Chris Paul isn't a Top 40 player now...

This is gonna work to the tune of the most deadly backcourt in the NBA. Russ showed most of last season he can take a step back and just play point, and that will extend his career and allow Harden to play more of the traditional SG role...

They just elevated from a team doing nothing and going nowhere to a championship contender. Those Big Bad Clippers (and everyone else, of course) got another threat to look out for...

Whoever wins The West will have earned it this year and will probably win the whole thing:

Clips, Lakers, Jazz, Blazers, Nuggets, Rockets are all legitimate. Warriors will be in the playoffs and if they get Klay in time to gel at the right time, they are putting whoever on Upset Alert...

Dallas is my pick as the 8th seed but Sacramento and New Orleans will be right there...

Anybody telling you today that they know the seeding of the West next year is lying. Seeding is gonna be crucial because the Top 6 seeds may be separated by 10 games or fewer, and the success rate I'm the playoffs will hinge on a)who's healthier at the right time; b)who has momentum at the right time; and c)matchups...

Big Bad Clippers are everybody's favorite, pressure is on starting today...

Westbrook was awful last season really not much better than Paul if at all :scust:

CP3 doesn’t have the scoring burst he once did but at least he’s a way better shooter and a more patient player

OKC gone give him a lowball buyout offer and he will take it because he doesnt want to play in OKC for a team that is going nowhere in his twilight years. Morey buried him.
