That was a great podcast. Makes me want Paul!!
I have plenty of concerns. But I don't like Kawhiso either. That did them no favors in the last round. So I'd rather them move more toward guys who can pass and score and don't need the ball in their hands all the time rather than having two guys dominating the ball.

If Spurs could get Paul and if he could be healthy for the playoffs I like Spurs chances against anyone. Would Paul be willing to sign with a year two player option and get paid when the Spurs have cap space.
I don't see CP3 leaving LA, but Spurs probably need him more than he needs them at this point. I see him staying with Clippers and cashing in. I like that duo of Paul/Leonard but in this league you need a big 3. If Manu retires, they trade Pau or Aldridge and maybe Parker get's traded who will be the third star. Unless they keep Aldridge and get rid of Gasol and shop Parker. Spurs would have a big 3 of CP3/Leonard/Aldridge.

Zach Lowe was the first one I had heard who ever mentioned Aldridge to the Spurs as a real and legitimate possibility. He reported it right after the all star break when Portland was like the number 3 seed in the west and everyone thought it was a foregone conclusion that aldridge would resign in Portland. He is a pretty credible NBA reporter.
Yes they can function together. Plus, CP3 would be of great help for everyone else not named Kawhi.
I have concerns about cp3's age, cost and fit but if a player of his caliber wants to play for you you sign him and try and make it work
Paul plays with Blake and Blake a ball in the hands guy.
Well Paul has had injurys, more than Tony who is 2 years older. Of course he fills a need for this team now so it makes sense to try and sign him in the offseason and make it work.
Here we go, an offseason mega thread that'll get 30 pages and will ultimately amount to CP3 resigning with the Clippers.
BTW besides being friends with Duncan, he's also good friends with Parker.
Many had similar concerns about LMA a couple of years ago. How'd that work out? So basically:
If the Spurs do sign CP3 but don't win ... it's a bad decision.
If the Spurs don't sign CP3 and don't win (especially if he has a great next couple of seasons), it's a bad decision.
So, the only way the Spurs and CP3 can end with a "good" decision is for the Spurs to sign CP3 and then win 1 or 2 NBA les.
Anything less will be failure in the eyes of spurstalk.
What? Not the point. Point is Blake usually has the ball in his hands, gets his own shots and Clups offense was effective, better when Griffin was better. Bottom line are you trying to say Spurs with Paul would be worse than with Parker?
Please, PATFO, pass on him.
Millsap would be money better spent
You got it. I don't want to gamble with the kind of money that it will take to get Paul. It'll set the team back several years if they don't win.
If Paul comes here as max players, this team wouldn't be better next year.
you can say what you want about LMA as a player, but his FA signing kind of gave this franchise some confidence with getting free agents. also having a top 3 player in the league and best coach helps as well.
If Gasol opts in, is there anything in his contract that can prevent the Spurs from trading him?
Yeah...it just sucks that he's so big and skilled but is hesitant to play down low.
If you think LMA's aloofness (at ude) created problems . . .
At 32, Paul's grandeur dreams of actually reaching the conference finals... I mean, to win a ring is better with the Spurs than the Clippers especially if the Clippers are going to gut everyone outside of their big 3. But that's an insane amount of money that he would have to give up and the Spurs would have to do cap gymnastics to actually have a chance of signing him that would leave the team with gaping holes. Who knows if Paul has any confidence in the Clippers management to build a team that could compete with the Warriors seeing as most teams in the West are playing second banana. Then there's the whole thing of living in SA compared to LA.
You know Paul is interested in the Spurs but let's be realistic, things are extremely stacked against the Spurs right now and it starts with that $200+ million contract that the Clippers can offer.
omg... zach lowe made a wild prediction that spurs would trade aldridge and then major outlets starting reporting that
CP3's age and health problems make this an obvious pass, tbh.
I tried to tell everyone and I feel I'm the bus driver of CP3 to SA....
Lowe is sometimes questionable regarding predictions of how teams play etc but he's connected for sure and has legit sources..probably more than anyone still with ESPN tbh..
But Woj started this whole thing and since he did I know it's real...it's just about the moving parts Simmons,Pau, Parker, Dedmon, Mills, Manu etc that make it hard to really comprehend what it'll take..
But we're fans and aren't in the Spurs or Paul camp so we don't know what the true priorities are...but there's toooooo much smoke going around for it to not be real..
Paul wants a ring and KD has made it easy for others to jump ship without criticism tbh..
It's as "real" as Paddy getting $20M from the Spurs.
Chris Paul created a CBA rule that will directly help him maximize his potential earnings, tbh
