Chris Paul signs with the Spurs

[Spurs9]

Its a travesty that KJ isn't giving up his number.

Almost certainly creates a bit of tension between those two. Paul is a pro's pro but it seems like he's also the kind to carry a grudge. Also may not be a wise decision for KJ if he wants to stick around here. it's kind of basic deferment to a vet and future HOF-er coming in.

As soon as PATFO sign off, then he's the perfect signing

He’s not perfect. It’s more mutual using. He uses us to get a contract he couldn’t pull from a contender and some rehab of his image perception, and we use him for his knowledge and leadership. I still maintain he won’t be on the roster after March 1st.

One of the reasons I didn’t want him last year was the fear that he’d go all Steve Smith 2002 at ude looking for an extension like his contract at the time. Picking him off the scrap heap is different in terms of pay and expectations.

sometimes ST has the narrative tone of a gaggle of old women spreading gossip.

Will be interesting to see how many Keldon buckets get assisted by CP3. I'll set the over/under at 2.

Need a Sniffer HOF thread for these kinds of posts

The jersey thing gives Chris the opportunity to sell another jersey to his die hard fans.

Apparently Paul has 8 different sets of bonuses.

Wonder how legit this is... CP8? 8 is basically a 3 with some extra on the side lol.

Tell how confident PATFO is for next year... 32 wins.

I always respected cp game but hated him as a player due to his on court bull sh*t. I still don’t think he moves the needle on wins all that much but I do love the mentoring aspect and think it was a great move in that context (and it’s a one year deal so that’s aces )

Surprised no one mentioned the rap he pulled as the union rep yet.

The next CBA will exempt the Spurs from all apron penalties.

Very telling indeed. But what’s more hilarious is what’s 250k to a guy like Chris Paul?

Means nothing. They Want a low number to makeup for underpaying 2. They still want a good pick so not looking for a great record

and RC_Drunkford

My comment was made based on someone above saying CP3 was gonna have to change his numbers. I made the assumption from that Keldon wasn't gonna give it up. Gossip/drama ain't my bag --

[Dex]

Chris Paul must be serious about the Spurs indeed if he isn't insisting on jersey #3. Though I think this is still probably being discussed, not necessarily in terms of trading Keldon, but instead talking to Keldon and seeing what it would take for him to give it up.

Pop already gave KJ a free ride to an Olympic Gold, I'd say Keldon owes him one

[spurraider21]

even his mural doesnt get a number

[scott]

Maybe Cliff Paul will get a symbol instead of a number, like the Artist Formerly Known as CP3

He could go with III or ٣ or 三 or ३ or even CP3 for some CP3-ception.

Actually, that bonus is tiny, so there’s no point in not paying it and in that case they’d set the bar LOW so he gets it.
