Welcome to SA, CP3

[objective]

The idea is that they would sign and trade Blake or red for George

Why would Blake ever agree to go to Indiana and be an 8 seed as his prime fades?

I guess I could understand Re if he's just chasing money, but why would Indiana want to pay 20+ for a 33 year old fading role player who needs a star to play off of?

A state income tax in Texas would signal death for dem Spurs.

A state income tax would be bull with how high the property taxes are here.

[goliath]

I agree. Probably just throwing the rumor out there so they can tell cp3 "look we are trying to improve"

Oh, please don't let this turn into another political thread.

[gambit1990]

would MUCH rather have
cp3/murray
green

than
cp3/murray/tony

[Mal]

If only Spurs were ready to dump Parker`s corpse

[BatManu20]

What happens to Kyrie then? Having 2 ball-dominant PG's makes no sense. Don't buy it.

[Brazil]

because you think that would be the difference maker on landing Paul ?

Yeah, that 15 mil free in cap space would help

[Brazil]

Clips can resign CP3 to a 5 years deal at +200 M, another could offer at best 4 years +150 M

At the end of a potential contract with Spurs he will be 36 heading to 37, at this age baring any injury he could negotiate, if still performing) a 2/3 years at around 15/20 M I guess so that's 30 M left on the table with a potential of being up to 50 M

At this point all those rumors are merely CP3 doing some leverage and using some ego wax imho

[Brazil]

sure thing bro

even 1 M would help tbh

at what point if any in his contract is he able to sign an extension? i assume spurs would assure him they will take care of him and offer that 5th year+ if they're serious about pursuing him

Brazil - The $50 million difference is not meaningful for a guy who will get another contract after this one. Over the first four years of the deal, it's more like $10 million. Shorter deal also lets him hit FA again sooner.

CP3 is 32 and a 2+1 offer from Spurs would let him sign another 2+1 with Spurs afterwards. A 3+1 would put him at the over 38 rule on contract #2. So he may actually be okay taking just 2+1.

Kony - Spurs can't offer a fifth year. Not allowed.

I know, i meant at what point if any during the assumed 4 year deal could/would he be able to sign an extension to give him 5+ years total?

[LakerHater]

Jerry West ain't lettin Paul leave!!

[Dverde]

Clips will trade Deandre Jordan for a Paul George rental before they let CP3 walk.

Three years after the contract is signed.

[Hoops Czar]

Three years after the contract is signed.

What if he signed a one year max deal like Durant and James, then signed a 4 year max deal? That's kind of like signing a 5 year deal.

[DPG21920]

They all signed 1+1 deals, but yes, that is allowed. But SA would need cap space in that scenario to sign him.

How much would he lose money wise compared to signing a 5 year deal with the Clippers?

[cjw]

How much would he lose money wise compared to signing a 5 year deal with the Clippers?

8% raises vs. 5%. Assuming $36mm in year one (35% of $103mm), it's actually just $6.5 million over the first four years. The raises don't compound.

[DPG21920]

It's hard to tell, but honestly don't think it's a ton when you include state income taxes (but hey a few million to us might not be a ton, but it could be to CP3)

[buttsR4rebounding]

He pays 13.6 million in taxes more with the Clippers.

[Kindergarten Cop]

Jerry West ain't lettin Paul leave!!

You might be correct, but then again ...
