Incredible how after years of CP3 ting on our defense using the P&P, we still question if he makes players better. Only on Spurstalk.
He makes the wide open ones. Blake would struggle without CP3.

CP3 is like a wet dream for Pop. I don't know why people even try to on him for a PG running the offense. I thought that was what a PG was for.
CP is still one of the best, if not the best true point guard in the league. He is insanely efficient from everywhere, and we already have the most efficient player in Leonard. Our efficiency would be extraordinary. If we can keep Gasol (and thereby lose Parker and Green), our team percentages would be stunning. CP controls the pace. Controls the whole team. Holds players responsible. Opens things up for role players. Both Leonard and LMA would benefit immensely with CP over any other point guard available, including Holiday, Lowry and Hill (all injury prone players anyway and only Holiday is considered on the younger side.) The only concern is how will CP play like in 3 years’ time when his 25 to 30mil dollar contract is on the books with another year on top of that. That is the only issue. CP in the second half of the season probably played his best basketball in his carrer. Currently, for 2 years, I couldn’t think of another player better than CP that is available. And for those who thinks that our money should go somewhere else and Murray should start; consider this: CP avg 16,8,5 in his rookie season. By season 3, he was 20/11/5. Murray is way behind in the 8ball to get to CP season 3 level. And with possibility that Lebron may follow a year later, you find a way to get CP now and increase your chances landing another stud in 18. It just completely sucks and totally unfair that it now will take 3 studs to match Durant’s decision.

CP3!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!
By god, Chris Paul is a point guard..............
no no no no no no no no
CHRIS PAUL IS A POINT GOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
But why CP3?
Why invest $150 million in a 32-year-old point guard who has never been beyond the second round?
Because he’s Chris [expletive] Paul!
Is there a more Popovichian point guard than Chris Paul? Is there a coach as exacting and CP3ian as Gregg Popovich?
The knock on Chris Paul is that he wears on his teammates for demanding so much, for paying such close attention to every detail and expecting everyone else to do the same. The knock on Gregg Popovich is ... exactly the same. He rides his players and expects them to limit mistakes and execute the game plan on every possession.
The bitter dismay Popovich has for an out-of-shape Boris Diaw or an out-of-control Patty Mills is the same exactly disapproval Chris Paul gives to a DeAndre Jordan turnover or a J.J. Re missed assignment. They both expect so much because they are each so capable of so much.
Put them together with an inexhaustible and deferential superstar like Kawhi Leonard and you have straight-up magic.
It’s also hard to imagine a better franchise for an aging legend to join to lengthen their career. Tim Duncan balled until age 40 and Manu Ginobili showed he’s still got it at 39. Popovich’s commitment to rest — and the need to bring Dejounte Murray along — could add years to CP3’s career.
Fitting CP3 in with Pop, Leonard, and the Spurs is the easy part. Finding the cap space to make it happen is tougher. But if any franchise can make smart decisions to extend their unparalleled run of success, it’s the San Antonio Spurs.
Pop emphatically instructed Dejounte to study how Chris Paul controls the game, to watch him closely, especially on the offensive end but yeah CP3 ain't a great fit and won't make players better LMAOOOO GTFOH

The other (unpopular) path is to retool this year by moving pieces like LMA and Green for assets. Spurs would be conceding, but if there were ever a year...
If you can get a Bender or a Randall (and other assets) for LMA, might be a good way to develop a young big more in the Spurs mold. It would also give Murray significant run.

Let next season play out and be free agent buyers next summer.
The free agent class of Dirk, Dwyane Wade, Tony Parker, Pau Gasol, Joe Johnson, and Leandro Barbosa.
We would beat the Warriors for sure with those players.... in 2008.
Spurs fans are delusional about having/needing to compete for a championship every year. they have been enabled by the presence of the GOAT for longer than some fans have even been alive. A year of retooling is much better than a decade of rebuilding. Just ask a Laker fan.
Trust in PATFO
The Spurs are not going to throw away a year of Kawhi's prime. A point guard that can both shoot from distance and run an offense is so rare and so necessary to be successful in this league, they'd be stupid not to chase after him. Spurs will still need an athletic, shot blocking big. I have no idea where they would find that, however.
Yea.. This offseason I am very much in spectator mode. I am pretty ambivalent about FA.
Spurs aren't going to do something they don't believe in. One year is no big issue if they feel next year is better.
However, even if they want things to happen this year it does not mean it will happen obviously
Agreed, Spurs have been retooling since 2014-15.
Mmmh, what about the guy that started most of the season for us and was, metrics wise, our best defensive player?
I don't know why Dedmon is an afterthought in most Spurs fans' heads. The dude exceded expectations and has a lot of room for improvement, imho.
If I'm the Spurs I wouldn't doubt one bit on resigning him, he's the type of center you need in today's NBA: a big, athletic, mobile guy that doesn't demand the ball on his hands.
The bigman that needs to go ASAP is ing Aldridge. Another thing I don't get about Spurs fans: the lifetime pass this cancer gets. As long as Aldridge is here, we aren't winning . He just isn't built for efficient winning basketball, so the sooner we get rid of him, the sooner we can start planning on becoming a true contending team.
