I could see CP3 trying to join his own superteam....he looks legitimately frustrated after this loss....getting max dollars at this point in his career is probably not his main concern considering he hasn't gotten out of the 2nd round. Clippers fans be scared this summer....
No one beating the Dubs. Play like a team, got the talent.
When their offense is clicking they're utterly jawdropping.
There's been super teams before. But not one with two players that account for 3 of the last 4 NBA MVP's (and who are both top 20 GOAT's), a perennial DPOY candidate, and a guy who's arguably the 2nd greatest shooter ever (2nd only to his own backcourt mate), all of whom are in their absolute primes. AND their roster is full of high quality role players. Oh, and they move the ball better than any other team in the league.
It's (bleep) insane.

Only series where the Warriors might face some decent opposition this years playoffs will be vs the Spurs and Cavs.....but I think the Warriors will be huge favorites just because of their overall collection of talent.
If you guys want to have some fun, offer any Clipper fan a bet to see who wins a title first, Lakers or Clippers. For some reason, they'll never ever do it.

I'm really looking forward to Spurs/Warriors. Hopefully SAS can actually get there this year

I thought CP3 could bolt for San Antonio, but I forgot about the supermax/DPE thing. Is he really going to leave $70MM on the table? It's one thing to leave when it's just the normal difference (the 1 less year and the 3% less in annual raises), but when it's the DPE?
We've seen athletes give up a lot of money for one season before (David West), though it's rare. I'm not sure we've ever seen an athlete give up that much money.

Chris Paul is the second best PG of all-time. He's past his prime yet still having tremendous impact.
It's really a shame that he never got a decent supporting cast. Blake Griffin is not a legitimate sidekick. _________________ Damian Lillard shatters Dwight Coward's championship dreams:

Not sure if Paul is going to pass up that money. Lebron and Paul made sure the new cba was set up so they could get longer contracts and more money in their later mid to later 30's iirc. _________________ "It's just a job.

Exhibit A on why KD left....
Westbrook is so overrated. I don't care how many triple doubles you chase down, if you can't shoot, you're not really a threat. People say he got tired. I say it was just the law of averages for him. The dude shoots 42%. So going into the 4th, he was due for his usual bricks. He was chirping at Beverley about have 42, but PB was right.. how man shots did you take to get it?
Westbrook would be an awesome Robin if he never took a jumpshot. If he just boarded and assisted, and only drove for 2 pt buckets, he would be a perfect Robin to a real efficient scorer, somewhat like KD.
Chris Paul made his own fate
Back in december 2011,he could have said/done things to force his way to Lakers,but he did/say nothing
Then,as a FA,he could have chosen to change side of the Staples,but again,he didn't bolt
Enjoy it,Chris
