    I think it's the other way around. Heat don't want that ridiculous contract.

    Yea that contract is ridiculous

    Spurs dodged a major bullet when they couldn't sign Chris Paul.

    I think they knew it. CP3 was on record as saying "Spurs never seriously pursued him" or something of that nature. Tony Parker still wanted to start for another 4 years or something at that time. TP and CP3 would've made no sense and Spurs would've never traded him. And yes I agree, bullet dodged.

    Is CP3 going to be happy with being on a rebuilding team for the remainder of his career. No way. Buyout is the only option for him no team is going to take on his ridiculous contract. Westbrook is the better player now so Houston looked at it like were just upgrading CP3 but still have to overpay a player.

    Pretty sure Spurs would have interest in him now if he gets bought out but he is probably going to one of the LA teams. Yes Spurs dodged a bullet in not signing CP3 to a max deal but if he gets bought out he's worth it still.

    They can't waive him unless he agrees to give up between $40-$50 million on his deal. A team can't carry over 15% if the cap in waived salary on their books under the CBA.

    I doubt hes willing to give up that much.

    yeah, he'd obviously have to give up a lot. i think he would... get out of a contract, still make a decent chunk of change... then sign a small one year deal (while getting more endorsement money with lakers or clippers than he would with okc), then get a more respectable deal after that one year.

    i'd be wild about the spurs again if they landed cp3 after him getting bought out. i definitely think he'd go to a contender though.

    but cp3 / murray / demar / la / poeltl would be cool. it'd help me get over my disgust for demar and make patty incredibly expendable.

    i'm trying to rationalize how much of a buyout cp3 would agree to. i could see 35 or 40 but okc has all the power and i guess they would try to top out at 20.

    so if he agreed to 25 he'd lose around 95. sign a small one year deal, then 3 for 48? so ultimately lose around 60... but la endorsements (over three years) with possible chips, lose 40?

    possible sweetheart deal after that if said chips are won.

    If he agreed to a 25M buyout.... he couldn't be bought out because his remaining salary would still be over 15% of the cap. Unless he gives between 40M and 50M he cant be bought out by rule.

    Oh, he certainly would if he could. He completely structured the last CBA to benefit players like himself. He's all about himself.

    Seems like the only good thing CP0 is for nowadays would be the State Farm commercials of years past with Cliff Paul.

    He is one of my least favorite players of all time. No thanks. I hope he implodes Oklahoma.

    My lasting impression of CP3 is him running off the court after losing game 7 vs the NOH without congratulating anyone, including his friend TP. That's kind of him in a nuts .

    If CP3 gets a buy out, he's absolutely going to LeBron.

    They should try to match him with Tacho Falls for Lob City 2.

    Can’t it be stretched over seven years (3*2 +1)? That would get them under 15% assuming he gives a nominal amount back.

    I don’t see them doing that though. Not going to pay him to play elsewhere for peanuts.
