I don't think any of that was discussed when Malone left Utah. Mailman is the only Spurs acquisition that would have made me a Mavs fan.
You mean NO ...

Robert Horry is the first name that came to mind after hearing this news. At first I was like....ugh. But like him or not, Chris Paul does bring a lot of what the Spurs need in terms of passing, basketball intelligence, and overall veteran leadership.
Granted, Horry had a lot more left in the tank and the Spurs were already contenders without him...but it's really hard to be mad about this deal especially at 1 year 11mill.
Thought it got out around the year 2000 or so. I would have become a Cavs fan for a while.I don't think any of that was discussed when Malone left Utah. Mailman is the only Spurs acquisition that would have made me a Mavs fan.
Nope, I don't. Chris Paul played his first two seasons in Oklahoma City when the Hornets were there.
Look it up. I'm not wrong. I was a season ticket holder.
Noone mentioned the most important thing.
Will Cliff Paul's contract obligations to State Farm prevent him from making an appearance in HEB commercials?
LOVE this move. Sure he's old af but he brings pretty much everything we're lacking on the offensive end (playmaking / shooting / leadership). And he's great at getting the most out of his teammates, which is essential given the roster as constructed
And the contract is affordable and still allows SA flexibility next summer. Huge step in the right direction imo
The contract is also incredible tradeable at the deadline. The Spurs might be able to unload him for another asset or just ride out the season and then let him walk. It's really the ideal situation.
The whole point of bringing in CP3 is to try and improve all the other players. Last season I think the oldest player on the squad was Cedi Osman (29) and then Zach Collins (26). Neither had ever been a significant part of a winning franchise. Paul is the first step in upgrading the culture of this franchise. Even if we're not going to become elite overnight. But as others have stated, where CP3 has gone the young players consistently improve. That's a really valuable one year rental.
Maybe. Could have sworn it was long after the Mexican girls comment, which was after he retired. Regardless, I had myriad reasons to hate that ing got long before he ever became a Laker.Thought it got out around the year 2000 or so. I would have become a Cavs fan for a while.
I did the same thing. Hurricane Katrina.
Apparently it came out as a result of a paternity suit in 1998. I thought for sure it came out before he looked like he was signing here in 2003 because I was so against it I changed my avatar here to Malone's NBA.com profile pic but with a bunch of s drawn all over his face. Got a lot of complaints about that one.
Interesting observation from a journalist on the domino effect that lead Paul to SA...
I wonder if PATFO just jump on the opportunity or had this option in mind for a while.
No worries. Most people forget about what happened post-Katrina.
Actually, it was the overwhelming success of the Hornets in Oklahoma City that encouraged a group of businesses in the area to get together and buy the Supersonics.
I stand corrected. I hated him so thoroughly as a basketball player that his failings as a human being didn't move the needle.Apparently it came out as a result of a paternity suit in 1998.

That's hardly news. It had been reported for a long time that GSW were going after PG13 and, in that case, CP3's deal would have been guaranteed and included in the deal as filler. For sure they had this option in mind for a long time and I think chances were good he was waived. Think Utah for instance, last week they were trying to trade for Mikal Bridges to persuade PG13 to sign and put together a contender, today they're said to be pivoting to moving Lauri and tanking. It's a very dynamic business that's tough to predict, which is why teams that are better equiped to take advantage of opportunities come out ahead.
Clifford Paul sniffers
Potential future coach of Spurs if Trumpler i mean Popler appoints him.
Chris Paul coach of the Spurs?!?
How is that even conceivable?
Get your sniff on brother.
Puke
Either that or they were stupid level incompetent. Which do you prefer to believe?
My friend and I used to go see the Spurs in Hemisphere Arena when we were in High School. The cheapest ticket was $4, but the Gold C coupon books used to include "buy one get one free" for Spurs games.
The best part was, the ushers didn't care if we snuck down to sit in the unoccupied lower level seats at halftime. Gervin, Silas, Gale, Olberding, Dietrich, Whopper, etc.
Good times.
Way back before electricity?
What y'all think about CP3 becoming an assistant coach? He's a basketball head, always respected the Spurs and is friends with Tim and Tony. Wouldn't be surprised if he joined our coaching staff once he hangs it up.
