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.

    • Well, the whole rationale used  for the high IQ point guard is it would allow us to spend our resources elsewhere….instead it’s all our first rounders ever since to support the bad pick.  Reality is our front office is just bad.  If you wanted Bryce Young you were going to need to do something unique and special for him.  Instead we just insert a QB with traditional tools into old NFL concepts that pair with traditional talent and our pass game is whack
    • Good to see some other folks are speaking the same language on this. It's simple common sense. But it seems like there's a disconnect due to the misplaced value the team has put on Thielen because he was the only vaguely good veteran WR willing to sign with the Panthers after we traded away DJ Moore. That time has come and gone. We have two first round WR's on the roster now.
    • Yeah I’m turning this into a Bryce can’t play QB thread. Just stating that offense was a poo show two years ago. No QB is succeeding in that, much less a rookie. I feel like it’s become a common debate strategy on here to just jump down the rabbit hole of saying he is just bad in so many ways when any certain point gets countered. If that doesn’t work we can deflect to how poorly this team has been ran. In regards to the actual point we are debating, the OL was struggling, half of the skill players aren’t on a roster, Mingo has done nothing with his new team and the staff are either not coaching or on their 3rd team in 3 years, aside from McCown (I liked McCown too). Honestly about as bad as it gets. No need to try to state how good of an offense it was billed it because that has been proven false at this point.
