Chris Paul Traded To Houston

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.

    • Didn't  see this posted (since 2023) but since folks have been posting that you can't judge a draft class for three years (a ridiculous take), I thought I'd post this to see what people thought about the 2023 draft. Unfortunately this may not be the most interesting class to do this with but I do quite like retrospective draft grades. Would appreciate other's takes on this (and other recent) draft classes.   1(1) - Bryce Young QB: I am a bigger Bryce Young apologist than most (maybe all). I like the kid. But there is no way around it: This was a terrible pick. If he had been picked in the 4th or even the 3rd round I would feel pretty good about it. But this was the first overall pick that we gave up two firsts, our best offensive player to get.  GRADE: C -    2(39) - Jonathan Mingo WR: not much to say here here. He was here for two years. His yards per catch are on par with Bryce's yards per pass. Rough stuff. To date he has still never scored a touchdown in the NFL GRADE: F   3(80) - DJ Johnson OLB: a pick I hated as soon as it happened and an example of why the premise of this thread is honestly dumb. This was a bad pick when it happened. Most people knew it.  Then came training camp and he did not look good. Then came the preseason which confirmed what we saw in TC. Then came the season which confirmed what we saw in preseason. To date, he has half a sack in his career. GRADE: F 4 (114) Chandlers Zavala G: Honestly the best pick of this draft which really speaks to how awful this draft is. Other than Bryce, the only pick still on the team. He is mostly average or below average depth which in round 4 is not terrible. But he had a pff score of 43.5 and though I think people have unrealistic expectations for draft picks, I still would want a little more from a fourth round pick GRADE: C+   5 (145) - Jammie Robinson S: I liked the pick when it happened but ended up being a disappointment. He logged 1 tackle with the falcons last year and not enough snaps to get a grade on PFF.  GRADE: F OVERALL DRAFT GRADE: F
