I just watched 2 teammates go off for 30pt triple doubles in a Finals game. Then I looked at their team salary page and saw their starting 5 is locked up for at least 2 more season and easily more and they’re all under 30.
Old broke down azz
CP3 ain’t helping us with that. If the voodoo doctors in PHX couldn’t keep him taped together I don’t know what our rag-tag group of free-clinic refugees is gonna do.
Never been a fan of Chris Paul but if the Lakers could sign him for the minimum or TP MLE and he would be willing to come off the bench, he could easily be the version of Rajon Rondo we need.
The reality is he can still deliver 8 assists per game with just 2 turnovers and shoot 38% from deep. I’d take that over 20 minutes of Dennis Schroder any day of the week. Just can’t be more than $5M per year or for multiple years as this point.
I like the idea thrown out of Russell eating up regular season point guard minutes and then CP3 possibly playing the Rondo role in the playoffs. I think Lakers goal is going to be to rest LeBron and AD (and CP3 if they get him) all regular season.
CP3 played in something like 60 games this season and still broke down early in the playoffs..again. You can set your watch to it. LeBron played less than that and was a shell of himself in the postseason. It all sounds great in theory but history tells me a different story.
If the Suns don’t want him…fill in the blank.
The best part of this is the click beaters have dropped off of Kyrie onto CP3. Hopefully something else comes along soon. 😂
