The same healthy Warriors that were down 26 and looked totally helpless against a healthy Leonard and Spurs teams sans their starting PG? Now if you mean that teams won't have a chance because Draymond is going to kick someone in the groin, or Pachulia is going to slide under shooters again, yes, no chance.
It is almost a given that the Spurs will be the 3rd best team in the league again next season without Paul. Adding the best PG Pop has ever had to coach would seem to give, at worst, give them a fighting chance vs the Warriors and Cavs. |
A lot of it depends on what players the Spurs have to dump to create cap space for Paul. They add him but does it make up for who they lose? |
They should dump Pau. |
He has a player option, it is up to him _________________ RIP mom. 11-21-1933 to 6-14-2023. |

This. Clippers can offer him a supermax contract.
Griffin, on the other hand, is no longer eligible for a supermax due to missing All-NBA teams two years running. I think he's gone. |

I think the feeling is that Griffin was probably expendable since they can get another all star to take his place. This is why his name came up in trade talks the year before. |

If I'm CP3, and I'm dead serious about winning a championship, I'd be willing to take a massive pay cut to join the Spurs. He already has more than enough money for at least two lifetimes, and I'm sure State Farm is paying him some good money too. Forget this supermax crap and the Spurs gutting their roster to get him. I've always been a CP3 fan, and he deserves a legit chance at a title while he's still an elite player. He should pull a Karl Malone or Gary Payton. _________________ Lakers 49ers Chargers Dodgers |

Its getting real.
Me thinks is that while the extra 70 million would help, he is seeing that his legacy is disappearing while his buddy Lebron is going to the Finals every single year. Also probably realizes that money can't fill his competitive urges if you look at how Melo's career is going after he took max to stay in NY. |

I've noticed his marketability seems to have fallen off the last few years from it's heyday following his Slam Dunk championship. Remember when we were being inundated with all of his commercials for Kia and Old Spice? _________________ "Suck it up. Don't be a baby. Do your job." - Kobe Bryant |

Chicago or Boston could use a player like him. Maybe New York? |

Hasn't hurt Chris Paul.
If playing in LA isn't help Blake's marketability and he gets no Supermax maybe he doesn't feel compelled to stay. _________________ "Suck it up. Don't be a baby. Do your job." - Kobe Bryant |

Joining the Spurs while taking a pay cut isn't really a smart move. San Antonio would be a good team with him but it will not be safe to say that the Spurs can beat the Warriors. Big gamble for a big pay cut. |

They already had a real chance of beating the Warriors, especially before Tony Parker got injured. If they're able to keep the rest of their key guys their chances only get better with CP3. They have probably the best frontline in the NBA, which would allow them to slow down the tempo and keep the scores in the 100s. The Warriors one weakness may be interior defense. They'll still be the favorites next year, but at least the Spurs will be seriously closing the gap. _________________ Lakers 49ers Chargers Dodgers |
