I honestly think CP3 is overrated.  He is a great player, but I don't know that he's a winner.  It's not that he doesn't want to win, he has the will and the skill.  I think his personality grates on teammates and makes it impossible to play cohesively over time.  I also think the combo of him and Harden is NOT going to work.  Harden needs to dominate the ball and so does CP3.  Good luck with that...  Still a fan-friendly trade.

Now lets see if LA wanna give up one of those guys to us

If we could swing a deal for Blake?  D12, Blake, and Kemba?  That would be ridiculous, but I doubt Balmer bails on Blake now that he's traded CP3.  It would be worth giving up a first, and it makes sense MJ would do it because of the Jordan Brand potential, but again, I doubt they do it.

CP3 is still a very good player no doubt, but I agree that he's slightly overrated.  There are just some extremely talented/young PG's in the league right now.

In no particular order, I think I'd take any of the below PG's before CP3 right now:

  • Russell Westbrook 
  • Stephen Curry
  • John Wall
  • Damian Lillard
  • Kemba Walker
  • Isaiah Thomas
  • Kyrie Irving
  • Kyle Lowry

Only Wall and Westbrook averaged more assists per game than CP3 this past year, but I'd still take any of the guys listed before CP3 regardless.

Heard Houston is looking to add Paul George as well. CP3 makes the Rockets better but after Harden excelled manning the point last year it will be interesting to see who will be the primary ballhandler in the clutch. I'm assuming they will stagger the minutes in the first 3 quarters to maximize using both CP3 and Harden at the point.

Heard this too, even if they get that done they still dont beat GS.  Does CP3 even fit well there?  Whatever, tired of the whole NBA model.

      So the last guy who had the job got hired by his former team directly into a role he has no direct experience in?

      Hard to pass up millions for a couple of days work per week for a coaching gig in the NFL that is 60-80 hours each week during the season and a more relaxed 50 hours a week during the off season. Yeah, I'd love to see him as our DC but hard to see him giving up the cushy job there if he gets it. And he's going to be a great commentator for the network.

      Really, I think that is where negotiations come in. If you've got a QB getting you to 10 wins but statistically he's not a great performer, then you say look you can take $22 million or you can try it on the market. Because let's face it, out there, any leadership skills that we're seeing aren't going to be on the table, it's just going to be performance and that lands him in the QB2 market, which is much, much less lucrative (although any of us would love that money).  No one is saying that Bryce will be a $50 million QB, barring something short of a miraculous jump. I'm just saying that if we are winning somehow with him at the helm, then it would be fuging stupid to dive back into the rookie pool all over again. Let's say we do hit the 10 win mark, heck, let's call it 11 and a second round in the playoffs. I think we can all say that would be a really uplifting result and one that should be doable if we have good play. What do we do then? Here's what I would offer if I were Morgan and Tepper. $25 million a year for 3 years, each year with up to $10 million in incentives for touchdowns, wins, playoff depth, being under 10 interceptions, completing a full season, passing yardage milestones, taking less than 15 sacks. Look, Bryce isn't a Ferrari, he isn't a Corvette, or a mid-level BMW. He's probably a new Toyota Sienna that will definitely get you somewhere and bring the whole team along with it, no fuss but not a lot of pizazz.  And really, it's about the destination, not about what drove you there.
