They’re still over the cap I believe. Hurts them quite a bit.

What an insane offseason.

As for us, am still smarting from the draft. Convinced that we don't have a coherent plan since we passed on Vassell and Haliburton.

We'll construct a strange roster, and at this stage, I'm not convinced we'd be particularly better than last year. Our playoff hopes remain entirely dependent on CP3 remaining healthy and playing at the same level as last year.

If he goes down, we're down to starting some 3rd string guard like Wanamaker or Napier at PG. Good luck finishing 12th in the West.

At least, drafting a rookie like Vassell or Haliburton would have given us something to look at. Rookie bigs take a hella long time to be impactful. In any case, a big can't be impactful without a glut of good creators around him. We're very very thin on creators.

What are you going to say when that doesn't happen?

His career history says otherwise and age certainly doesn’t help.

What's with you and wishing injuries on Chris Paul lol you'd think the dude was geriatric

if most of the teams are doing it, there's a good chance that's the market value, and yes people re being a tad negative, but for good reason, I will say it again there's no reason to make the CP3 trade unless you planned to go for it this year and it's not coincidental Sarver released his pay cuts and furlough news on opening day of free agency, that was him preparing us and putting it in our head that it's the economies fault and not him being cheap.. oddly all the other Billionaires seems to be navigating this hardship though

at this point it won't shock me if Saric is too expensive and we get that spin too

No but they might use some exceptions

Suddenly Turner and McDermott doesn't sound that bad, right Danny?

Not wishing injury on anyone, again his career history says otherwise. Check the amount of games he misses in an average season since entering the league and then then correlate that with his age.

I follow the #s not some crazy biased thinking.

Wow that's awful for Boston, they really needed him leaving to be a sign and trade.

Probably his way of saying F U to Ainge and Stevens for not talking the Pacers deal. They could have absolutely used Turner and Dougie McBuckets. Now they get nothing.

He played more games than Ricky Rubio last year. In fact, Ricky Rubio has played in 76% of possible regular season games over his career compared to 83% for Chris Paul, but I don't recall your constant concerns of Ricky and his ankle injuries. Numbers though, right?

Was gonna say something about those two awful contracts. Thank God Charlotte gave Rozier that contract when he was rumored to be our target. Tons of fans wanted Scary Terry too. Gambo mentioned him so often I finally had to start arguing with him.
