CP3 had such an unlucky career so far, all the injuries, losing that mvp to kobe, which clearly he should have won, losing in 7 against the spurs in the west semifinals, losing byron scott and now west...
He's going to look around and in the end probably re-signs with the Hornets at around what his contract would have been: 7-8 million for a couple more seasons. I don't think there is a lot more for him out there.
What are the Knicks going to offer? Billups, Shumpert and Fields? LOL! Turrible.
If he goes anywhere, it's to the Rockets (youngsters), Lakers (Bynum or Gasol), Celtics (Rondo) or someone similar with a good player/s to give back. Main part of the trade in (brackets)
It's not about the package,it's about CBA and CP3.
If CP3 wants to be a Knick and new CBA allows it - HE WILL BE A KNICK
knicks will have capt space no matter what next season, may it be 9 mil or 15 mil, it depends on which way the cba puts the cap at. and with the cba shrinking the salaries, 9 mill might be enough to get chris paul
This is really a questionable decision considering that West is coming off of major knee surgery to repair his ACL/MCL, is already 30, and has basically suggested hes worth more than the $8 Million hes been paid.
Honestly, I think the best case scenario for him is to hope he can work out a longterm deal with the Hornets. The only problem is that with the NBA owning them, David West having a longterm deal along with Okafor will actually make the franchise look less attractive to a buyer.
This is without a doubt a sign of the end if New Orleans cant bring him back, I know they like Carl Landry but West is a better & more consistent player.
