I dont know... i have always appreciated his ability, but i think he's starting to develop a reputation for his lack of ability to "take control" of his team and will them to a win. In all honesty, aside from that one year in new orleans that he took over in the playoffs, i have thought he is vastly overrated.

What do you think?

Yeah, im not saying i wouldn't want CP3 here, lol... but i think for what they expect of him, it just won't work.

And then, in all honesty, i think they played some of their best basketball this round when cp3 was out with his injury. I think to a degree, he holds Blake back from being the player he can be. And it just feels like this is their ceiling with him.

As a fan of that 07-08 Hornets team I can't stop laughing that he's never been on a better team than that. I so enjoyed watching him get his ass kicked today. He forced his way off that team to go to one of the worst franchises in the history of the NBA. It's so wonderful to see.

Paul is a phenomenal PG. He's gonna be a Hall of Famer. There hasn't been a better pure PG in the NBA over the last 20 years. Only exception is possibly Tony Parker, but he has Duncan and Popovich- an all-time top 10 player and top 5 HC.

Here's the thing though, outside of Magic Johnson and Oscar Robertson there isn't really a PG that has led his team to a championship as the best player. And Magic was surrounded by HOFers and Robertson is probably a top 5 all-time player.

PGs just don't win championships. History has shown if your PG is one of your top 2, or even 3, players you aren't winning a title.

Not to mention Paul has never had a great team around him. Blake Griffin is vastly overrated. Everyone else on that team are just role players.

And I don't even like Paul. But he's a great player, and the only elite pure PG in the game today. Curry, Rose, Westbrook, Lillard, Harden, etc aren't PGs and guys like Wall, Irving, Walker, are average.

Paul and Parker are the last elite traditional PGs left.

Oh waht coulda been for CP3, traded to the Lakers until the asshat Commish overruled it.

Now just more underachieving.

Chris is a great PG, and in a playoff setting, he can put a team on his back maybe for a game or two. He can't put the team on his back for a whole series, though. Especially not this late in his career. Funny, his best shot at a ring came while he was with Hornets. That clippers team ceiling will always be the second round.

Isiah (best PG of all time) led his team to 2 championships. Only one of the top 10 teams in NBA History to have just 1 player in the top 50 (as voted in 1996 50th anniversary).

      Monroe Freeling’s lovely GF

      With the contract money an OT first rounder makes you can ALWAYS get a new girlfriend.  And probably an upgrade at that.  You only got 2 parents.

      Brother. You are wholly confusing comparing situations and applying actual standards like most other franchises do like simply getting into a playoff series and winning at least 1 or 2 series games with praising. Nobody is praising the Hawks. Nobody is praising the Magic. Nobody here likes those teams. But reality is reality. The Hawks like other franchises have traded players fired coaches etc but they can still win a couple playoff games. How is that not the bare floor for you or anyone else? What are we doing here if it isn't? We've seen eye to eye on many things over the years. But you are in the camp on the Hornets where you are emotionally attached to LaMelo where you feel the need to carry his water like he's got that juice. That's cool that you feel that way. It's your prerogative. But I differ from that viewpoint entirely. If he had that juice we would not have gotten wiped off the court in 2 play in games with 2 different coaching staffs and rosters. if people don't like hearing that well I'm sorry but how the hell is this team ever going to get better and ultimately go anywhere in the postseason if we just blindly pat them on the back for getting their asses whooped before they actually even get into the real playoffs? There seem to be some Bryce Young level standards being applied here. That's wild to me. But to each his own.

      Jeremy Fowler: Panthers draft day intel

      Proctor/Freeling were always the belles of the ball where we were picking. What those two *could* become at OT was far greater than what others could be at their respective positions and I’m glad our FO could see that.
