The NBA will not rest until LeBron has played with CP3 and Carmelo Anthony. Now Anthony could be on his way out so it's hard to say what the hell's going on with him but they put LeBron with all of his buddies so you know damn well he's going to end up with Chris Paul.

[baseline bum]

Good luck with that on that contract, Paul.

I wouldn't want him at 25 mill...

Some NBA people think this kinda stuff is good for NBA popularity because we are discussing it.

But I think it is a big reason why only blacks consider the NBA their favorite sport.

It's probably a good marketing tactic since the NBA has always had a corny culture that appeals to kids. In our day, it was mascot slam dunk contests and cartoon-level advertising campaigns (Mr. Robinson's Neighborhood, Little Penny, etc). I've always said the NBA is THE sport for 11-22 years olds in the US, then you slowly start to grow out of it as your most followed sport.

I’d take CP3 if HOU gives up their draft pic.......wait, they dont have any good ones.

NBA has become a WWE type of league with it's childish story lines and drama. It's the reason why I can't even get upset about the Davis trade. It's par for the course for how the NBA has now become a super cartoonish league. I'll still watch it since I love basketball but won't take it seriously like I used to.

IDK man, you gotta respect that he took the challenge of beating State head on and got close in 2018. It ended up being for nothing but that's the chance you gotta take to win if you don't luck out into getting a big cap bump the year you're a 73 win team and your best players are all on under market value contracts so you can add another franchise guy.

Fuck these NBA stars with their petty self-entitlement.

This is something I’d like to see the next CBA negotiations address. If stars really want to control things when they’re still under contract, then there has to be consequences to them NOT honoring those contracts. I’d propose that if a player under contract demands a trade and does so by refusing to play, then if traded, they forfeit their current contract, lose their Bird rights and by consequence the chance at a future super max for at least the next three seasons, and they must play the following season on a one year MLE salary.

Let’s see CP3 demand a trade with his guaranteed $120+ million on the line and only a one year MLE salary available for his age 35 season. If that’s really and truly what he wants, then those are the consequences. Otherwise they shouldn’t have signed those big max guaranteed contracts in the first place. This player control shit is getting stupid.

Can't do that, bro. Those provisions you're suggesting amount to little more than slavery!

Also, it's just the nature of the sport. In no other sport can one player change a franchise's fortunes to this degree, so players have an absurd amount of leverage and they know it. I'm sure some will read this as me siding with the "evilllll owners," but I'm siding with the fans who basically play these player's salaries. These players also sign the contract with "us," so to speak. So honor that shit you signed and then you can leave when it's up.

They already lose their chance for ever getting a supermax unless the trade happens while on their rookie contract. Also I think holding out can nullify a contract if the team petitions the NBA and one of their doctors finds the player holding out to be healthy.

That's why the League is pushing international so much...there's only so many low IQ drama queens you can push this shit product onto in the USA

LOL all the diversity talk about Toronto during the Finals,no one bothered to mention that Oakland actually is more diverse than Toronto

[djohn2oo8]

played as a humorous moment on social media. But some within the Rockets organization saw it differently -- a public glimpse at the difficult dynamic between the franchise's two stubborn stars, who are at drastically different points in their careers: one a perennial MVP candidate in his prime, the other showing signs of physical decline.
The friction between the two manifested again during the Rockets' playoff finale. Harden and Paul had tense exchanges regarding Harden's ball dominance and Paul's desire to run set plays as the Warriors pulled off a comeback during the fourth quarter of Houston's Game 6 elimination loss, team sources said. Paul made sure he didn't share the microphone with Harden that night, getting dressed faster than usual and taking his turn alone at the podium before Warriors coach Steve Kerr, breaking NBA protocol of coaches conducting their news conferences first.
When Harden took his turn at the podium, he declared, "I know exactly what we need to do. We'll figure it out this summer." He declined to elaborate.
The prevailing belief in Houston -- and hope, certainly -- is that the tension between the Rockets' stars isn't atypical for the NBA and can be managed. And that's a must, given the unlikelihood of getting equal basketball value for the 34-year-old Paul in a trade, considering he is owed $124 million over the final three years of his contract.
The roots of the issues between Harden and Paul, according to team sources, are differences in preferred playing styles and personality.
Harden is arguably the best isolation player in league history, capable of carrying the Rockets to elite offensive efficiency by going one-on-one over and over again. That style also worked well for Paul during the Rockets' 65-win campaign in 2017-18, when Paul ranked behind only Harden in isolation efficiency among high-volume players.
But Paul noticeably lost a step last season, as evidenced by analytics and the eye test. Paul pushed for more plays and sets in the Houston offense, more screening and deception, despite Harden being in the process of putting together a historically dominant individual offensive season.
"Chris wants to coach James," says a source familiar with the stars' dynamic. "James looks at him like, 'You can't even beat your man. Just shut up and watch me.'"
According to sources, Paul was also frustrated by what he perceived as Harden's tendency to ignore unglamorous details that impact winning -- such as moving when he gives up the ball to help spacing -- and wasn't shy about expressing those concerns.
It has reached a point, team sources say, where Paul cherishes the chance to play without Harden on the floor. On several occasions, according to team sources, Paul barked at D'Antoni to keep Harden on the bench while he was running the second unit. Harden simultaneously would lobby -- or demand -- to check back into the game.
The Rockets, who had the league's best record after the All-Star break despite any differences between their stars, were statistically better during the regular season with Paul on the court without Harden (plus-9.2 points per 100 possessions) than with them together (plus-5.7) or Harden without Paul (plus-5.8). However, those numbers are skewed by the fact that solo-CP3 minutes almost always come against the opponent's bench unit.


That trend didn't hold up in the playoffs, when starters' minutes typically get extended. The Rockets were at their best when Harden and Paul played together during the playoffs, posting a plus-6.4 net rating compared to minus-1.5 with only Harden and minus-4.6 with only Paul.
Harden, by nature, tends to avoid conflict but was pushed hard enough to snap back at Paul from time to time. That's what happened during the Rockets' elimination loss, when, team sources said, Harden told Paul he didn't always know best and had talked too much.
"Chris has a personality where he just doesn't let anything go," a team source says. "He just keeps pestering and pestering and pestering and pestering. Sometimes James has had enough -- and not just him. That's what makes [Paul] a winner and also what keeps him from being a big-time winner. He's got to temper that."

[djohn2oo8]

Paul is right that Harden doesn’t move without the ball. They should run more set plays.

[djohn2oo8]

But damn Paul always been that petty?

[Capt Bringdown]

Surprised that Paul didn't injure himself whilst coming up with this announcement.

[Chucho]

PLEASE end up in LA. PLEASE.

[Killakobe81]

Nothing wrog wiith Rox diversifying their offense more ...
Harden would be filthy in a State type offense.

But ... my only concern is Harden relies on his dribble game to set a rhythm ... he was great in a more pass and cut role when he played in OKC ... he didnt play like that there.
but my guess is he prefers having everything flow through him and the offensive metrics apparently back him up since rox efficiency numbers in RS were near historic.

[Killakobe81]

No, fuck you

It's a perfect fit, tbh. Paul is the personification of LA: A broken down, unlikable, toxic cesspool living on reputation and the past "glory days". Said glory days and reputation really come from the people who were near and around them at the time and being overly glamorized by the media.

But at the end of the day, it's a filthy, dirty, broken down shit hole, no matter how you want to dress it up. LAL and Paul go hand in hand like Kobe and "No!".

The delicate relationship between Houston Rockets stars James Harden and Chris Paul has been termed "unsalvageable" and the star players want a divorce, league sources told Yahoo Sports.

Paul went to Rockets management and demanded a trade, and Harden issued a "him or me" edict following the Rockets' second-round loss to the Golden State Warriors, sources said.

The backcourt mates went nearly two months without speaking to each other during the season, sources said, creating a tenuous environment for teammates and everyone involved with the franchise.

Harden hasn’t returned Paul's repeated attempts at communicating this offseason, sources said, after a year in which the pair repeatedly got under each other's skin with petty acts in practices and games.

Yeah the beaches around Malibu are great if you're looking for waves since they're south facing, though Huntington is still king for that. Redondo is nice for calm lazing about in the afternoon swells since it's west facing so the waves are pretty tame.

It costs about $400 to rent a U-Haul to go from SA to LA, but from LA to SA around $1600. So many people are moving to Texas from California you are doing U-Haul a favor by taking one back to California. They aren't fleeing for a lower standard of living. California is a growing cesspool.

HOU looking kinda bleak right now, CP3 was the ultimate team player as opposed to JH. He's absence will be easily felt and by the looks of things the star quality of CP3 is whats currently needed at the Lakers.

I don't care about the veto you are right in the long run... But it was still bullshit but we still sitting on 16 titles... And I'll ignore the Achilles stuff

Harden is about as “I don’t care” as you can get as a superstar and still he couldn’t stomach Paul. Kobe? They’d be at each other’s throat the first practice.

Like I said earlier, MVPau was the best teammate for Kobe. Team first, alpha talent, beta personality. Kobe is beta talent, alpha personality. Can’t think of anyone else who could mesh with him, and I’m sure that would not have been Paul.

CP wouldn't HATE it if he was traded. But asking for a trade and being OK with one if it were to happen are different things. I think this dude just took a small nothing into something massive looking for a big break.

Is this alleged drama something or nothing?

Stephen A.: Nothing. Spoke to Chris Paul yesterday. Categorically denied the report. He wanted to state emphatically he has never ever once demanded a trade. That's a fallacy. ... Did he demand a trade? No he did not. Did he ask to be traded? No he did not. I reported he is looking to be out of Houston. He did not address that so I don't know how he feels about that. This is my situation

Stephen A:

The drama that is really unfolding is Fertitta, Morey & D'Antoni. D'Antoni wants an extension. Fertitta offered $5M + $1M for each round you won. That's where the real drama is going on. Harden & Paul have spoken. Did Harden get back to Paul initially? No. Did it take a few weeks to connect? Sure. But they have spoken. This stuffa bout can't stand one another? That's not the real issue.

It is increasingly difficult to take the NBA seriously.

[exstatic]

Supposedly, the NYK hung up on Morey. When the Knicks, a playoff starved team if ever there were one, don't want you...

The Rockets recently explored trading Chris Paul into New York's cap space, but the Knicks refused, according to league sources.

:lmao TURNED DOWN BY THE KNICKS :lmao

[baseline bum]

Rockets would have to add Harden to the deal to get anyone to consider taking CP0's contract.

[Ed Helicopter Jones]

Supposedly the Knicks turned down a trade proposal for Chris Paul, so whether the rumor about him and Harden's relationship is accurate or not, it's obvious that Houston is trying to get out from under his contract.
