Looks like Chris Paul is mad at the Clippers; could go elsewhere per ESPN source

Per "Sauces"

Imagine how much blame he would get if they get Byron Scott. :oldlol:

All Sterling had to do was keep his mouth shut. :facepalm

If I'm Chris Paul, I go to Dallas. I'd rather try to win with Dirk these last few years than Blake Griffin.

Blake needs to improve his post game. They need to hire a good defensive coach, and sign a bunch of good 3 points shooters.

Yes and D12 should follow him. Esp if he wants to play defense and theres no defense in D'antoni-land. Then kobestans bitch about him not scoring enough when he never wanted to be a scoring machine (he would have done that in orlando and be the man and get the most money --- on a non-contender). If he goes to Dallas, Dirk will take care of the offensive side and less pressure on Dwight to score. Dirk needs that defensive stopper next to him anyways. Plus he plays with a legit contemporary in CP3. After one year, Dirk will resign for LESS maybe 8-10mil a year.

[Reverend Hoops]

Honestly no one screws up an organization like Donald Sterling. He literally had to do/say nothing. :facepalm

Saw this coming from a mile away. You can't throw your star player under the bus like that. Sterling is a moron. ESPN doesn't have to confirm anything, how do you think Chris Paul feels about this story being out there? Someone in the Clippers front office either leaked it or its a lie, but the Clippers organization hasn't come out and shot it down either.

The NBA gifts him Chris Paul and Sterling screws it up in a couple of years.

Lol @ the Clippers always finding a way to screw things up. I bet there are 28 million reasons that Chris Paul will resign with the Clippers.

Sidenote: Is there any possible way that the Knicks could trade for Paul or are they out of consideration because they're over the salary cap?

[JohnnyBravo5]

if its anywhere its Atl. W have 40 mil in cap space, he's always wanted to play here and we have the top assistant for the team that will win the finals. He'll bring Dwight home and were going to have the big 4


CP3
Korver
Smoove
Horford
Dwight

How the hell are you going to get 3 guys asking roughly for 18 million a piece to fit under 40 million in cap space?

[(e)]

Dwight and CP to Mavs. Would probably have to be a package deal for Dwight to go, otherwise he goes to the Rockets to play with Harden.

We have Josh's Bird rights and you get Dwight and Paul to agree to Lebron Wade numbers

[hawkfan]

Howard and Paul should go to Dallas and join Dirk.
If they really want to win a championship.

The Clippers will be fine if Paul leaves. Bledsoe gets more run, and they can go after Al Jefferson and Andre Iguodala, and trade out DeAndre Jordan and Caron Butler.

You obviously don't understand how the salary cap works. Bird rights still count under the cap. There's so many things wrong with your post I don't even know where to start.

and you know because you read it in Wikipedia? whatever. You can make anything work.

[longtime lurker]

Because I understand salary cap rules and have common sense. The only way it could work is if both teams agree to a sign and trade which would never happen. Because after Jeff Teague the Hawks don't have a lot of assets.

[FreezingTsmoove]

Pretty sure Lebron would make this list too.

Lebron single handedly saved Spo's job last year ala Game 6

[Thechosen1]

so basically the best players in the league are divas? interesting *rolls eyes*

[kuniva_dAMiGhTy]

Not sure why he's upset. The guy DID want Vinny fired. :oldlol:

[Thechosen1]

Not sure why he's upset. The guy DID want Vinny fired. :oldlol:

i dont think hes upset at getting the blame entirely...I think hes upset by the intent on making him the scape goat...its a delicate difference that people arent getting...

i think he knows regardless if del negro got canned he would be looked at already. He probably thinks the principle behind sterling pretending that he as an owner has no power to make decisions because chris paul is their best player is whats fishy to him...and quite frankly,if I was cp3 id leave just for that sloppiness alone..

however 1. We dont even know cp3 is even mad because this "source" hasnt proven a damn thing
2. The GM already came out and said cp3 wasnt the one behind the decision so this thread basically is pointless now

[Fiasco]

Thank the lord Sacks said something. VDN also goes out of his way to make it clear Sterling wanted VDN gone.

Which is a little relieving but unless Donald Duck dies I'll never feel safe.

If i am not wrong, they can sign a player they have bird rights for even if they are over the cap. I might be wrong but i think i read this somewhere.

[longtime lurker]

You're not wrong, but bird rights doesn't mean that the player's salary magically disappears. It's a complicated process but basically the only way for it to happen without all 3 players choosing to play for 13 million a year is through a sign and trade. That's why I know it's not happening.

Josh is gone just accept that already.

He doesn't want to be here, the fans don't want him here, and the front office won't pay him.

He's getting S&T'ed

[MavsSuperFan]

Chris Paul has to own up to the fact that he knew that by not defending Vinny he was signing his pink slip.
