no.
End thread.
Had Kawhi and tony not gotten hurt we had a 50/50 chance of making it to the finals. With that being said, is it worth stripping apart the team to bring in a 32 year old pg? Smh, I just don't think it's worth it. I think there are players we should let go or try to trade, but I don't think the whole team needs to be overhauled with them being so close...
no.
End thread.
gutting the team when it's really Kawhi and everyone else (mostly over the hill players and a bunch of D-Leaguers)
What exactly will we be gutting? The that surrounds Kawhi? If so then yes, it's definitely worth it.
Not gutting the team for CP3 is not worth it.
Yes
We need to gut ST.
not enough people. sometimes you got to buy the cheap bacon cause thats all you can afford. cant trim the fat off it cause if you do theres nothing left tbh
As long as LMAO is out.
I feel like it's a roll of the dice...but it may be warranted.
Everyone has gotten enamored with the first half of Game 1, but...that still did not guarantee that we would beat the Warriors. What is even more disturbing, though...is how the team just completely fell apart without Kawhi.
That would not have happened with Duncan.
This team needs another leader who is hungry...and Paul fits the narrative.
Otherwise, we reload with what we have and hope for better luck next year.
this.
Um, Kawhi is the team. Everyone else is expendable.
lmao at posters actually saying they don't want one of the elite PGs in the league on our team.
You're a ing troll....but I totally agree with this.lmao at posters actually saying they don't want one of the elite PGs in the league on our team.
What would it take to free up the space?
The other thing to consider - Is CP3 willing to sign at a discount for a chance to win? If so, what's his number?
Brooklyn (with former Spur Sean Marks at the helm) is willing to take on salary dumps for draft picks or young players. I think they have about 28 Million in space available. Would they / Could they take Parker, Green & Anderson and free up $28 million? The appealing thing for Nets is that it would only be for 1 year for Parker and maybe 1 with Danny (DG would most likely opt out). With Dedmon out, that would leave the Spurs approximately $33 million of space.
This would give Brooklyn all the flexibility in the world to go after Boogie Cousins, Blake Griffin or Paul George in 2018.
Is this a pipe dream? Would Brooklyn even consider this?

Not for Paul. If CP3 signs with the Spurs, in two years people will be convinced that Kawhi sucks and Paul is the only thing holding the team together. We've seen this from him twice already.
There are guys you "blow it up" for. Like if John Wall were on the market and you could get him and Kawhi together for eight years, then you go for it. But an old Paul who dominates the ball, makes guys hate him and can't get out of the second round? Not sure I'm on that train. It's one thing to add him to Kawhi and role-players. It's another to think he's a "get him and figure the rest out later" guy.
Just No!
Nein, nö, bitte nicht!
What players hate Chris Paul? I heard he can be a but is it because he's been playing with knuckleheads who don't understand the game? Is it because he's a leader? CP3 made Deandre Jordan an all-star. He almost single-handedly beat the Spurs in the first round 2 years ago. The Spurs need a leader on the court to make up for KL's quietness.
What point guard doesn't dominate the ball? And who else on the Clippers would you want controlling the rock?!
And stop BSin it's all about Paul's age and $$. Nothing to do with style of play because you mentioned Wall who is also ball dominant or even a Westbrook..and neither can play off the ball or shoot which the Spurs need if Kawhi is going to handle the rock
Do you not see how arrogant that would come off as if it were Paul who said that instead of you? No one on his team has been playing the game for less than 10 years. , some might have been playing for 20 years. They don't need a guy holding the ball until they get into a place where he can get an assist or yelling at them like they're kids if they aren't where he expects them to be. It's just shameful. There's no doubt that Paul is a talented player, but you can watch him, even at his best, and see a guy who's majorly contrary to what the Spurs do.
.
Blake's actually a very good play-maker for his position. He has the similar game to other forwards like Melo and even Kawhi, though Leonard is more of a willing shooter, and Griffin has more size and athleticism. Paul isn't one of those guys who passes the ball as part of an offense. He just dribbles and points and then runs a PnR. Not even Prime Tony was that bad.
gs gutted their debth and filled in later for Durant
not sure I am on board with cp3
I would get better talent with 2 or 3 people then cp3
If he does come here I bet we get our share of ring chasers on the cheap to fill out the roster. Look it's either join GS, Clev or the Spurs if you want a serious chance of winning.
I love Chris Paul's game, but will I love it in two years when his play dips and everyone comes after him with knives for not passing to Kawhi enough and dribbling too much?
When 40yo Manu and a career D-Leaguer are creating your offense in a Conference Finals there is really not much to be gutted after Kawhi
Yeah, let's turn down a Top 3 All-time PG, who even at 33-36 yo, will likely be more impactful player than any of these second/3rd tier PGS in their prime (Jrue, Bledose..etc)..
Stop pretending we are doing it for Larmarsha Aldridge..
