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.

      Rookie season being key to uour argument. I didn't at all mislead about the talent Cam had to work with. Kalil was a great center. Olsen was a great TE. Our WRs were probably the worst in the league. Cam still won MVP, we went 15-1, and we went to the SB. Your attempt to bring up Cam to defend Bryce is desperate and clownish. Bryce has more talent to work with and has done WAY less.

      Not exactly sure that is an honest assesment of the talent he had to work with that year. Olsen had over 1100 yards that season making the PB, Stewart had close to 1100 total yards also going to the PB. He had Kalil at C who went to the PB, Trai Turner at RG who also went to the PB, and Michael Oher at LT who played well enough that the Panthers offered him a new contract the following year. I wouldn't call that a trash OL. He also played with a defense that was stacked with talent as well.   "The thing we are doing better this time around is actually surrounding our #1 overall draft pick QB with talent vs. asking him to completely carry the offense. I just hope that effort is leading us to realize that the guy isn't even good enough to get carried." Please.... Did you not read the list of names Newton had to work with his rookie season. I guess you missed it so I will post it again for you... Steve Smith (PB), Greg Olsen (PB), Brandon LaFell, Ted Ginn JR, Deangelo Williams (PB), Jonathan Stewart (PB), Jordan Grossn (PB), Ryan Kalil (PB) on the offensive side and then he had Luke Kuechly (PB), Jon Beason (PB), Thomas Davis (PB), Star Lotulelei, Kawann Short ( PB ),Charles Johnson, Greg Hardy (PB ), Mike Mitchell, Josh Norman (PB)  For comparison, here is who Young had his first year.  Chuba Hubbard, DJ Chark, Jonathan Mingo, Adam Thielen, Hayden Hurst, Ikem Ekwonu, Chandler Zavala, Bradley Bozeman, Nash Jensen and Taylor Morton. Not a single PB player on the list and most of them aren't even playing any longer. Additionally, his HC was fired during the season and the defense was as bad as the offense.  You might not like the comparison but saying Newton had to completely carry the offense isn't exactly fair to the 4 pro bowlers on offense who played with him that year.
