We got Ben Simmons with a shot!
He was better than Paul though. He's a well respected defender by the people who actually fucking play against him. Damn near any guard does not want to be against his ass come crunch time because he unleashes "take the ball from you anytime he wants"

Can you imagine going from working for Gilbert to working with Dolan? The guy must hate his life.
While I'd never begrudge a player changing teams for more money, especially since we all make the same considerations for our careers and don't have people yelling at us calling us disloyal or greedy, anyone who's been in the NBA for 10+ years has made way, way more money than they need to live for the rest of their life.
If they're so bad at financial management they need another $20 million on top of the $100 mil they've already earnt that $20 mil ain't lasting long.

I was listening to NBA Radio on Sirius XM earlier today and before any mention of the David Griffin news, one of the hosts said that he thinks there is a plan in place for Lebron, Melo, Chris Paul, and Wade to go to New York after this year, and he specifically mentioned it would be very interesting if David Griffin, who James publicly thanked and appreciated, would be in the running for the GM of New York, and that would be a sign.
There's still 24 hours to go before free agency.
Bradley should've made a team. The reaction from players showed a lot.
I heard Broussard saying that live (how Bradley got lit up by Booker when he didn't even play) and I was losing my mind.

Whoops! Well then pretend my question is being asked 24 hours from now lol. I know that Jrue Holiday has a 12:01 meeting with the Pelicans.
Broussard is a joke analyst who is always wrong.
CP3 is actually a very good defender.
This is old, but he hasn't declined on that end yet:

It depends. We'll probably start hearing deals around them, but the big name players are going to take days and others will be waiting to see where they go before deciding.

I don't think the Cavs can do a sign and trade. Pretty sure they have to be able to take on that contract with their cap space.

Exactly. The dude doesn't even understand his made up rumor.

Drugs are bad, m'kay
I never said he wasnt
Bradley was better this year though and if the argument is games played then that should apply for Paul too
After the Knicks he gunna go to the Kings.

Even if it were possible, wouldn't that be an awful trade?

Yeah. CP in a sign and trade netted back 2 role players and a bunch of filler garbage. I'm supposed to believe that George Hill in a sign and trade is worth Kyrie Irving?

I personally like the idea of getting Kyrie Irving for a George Hill sign and trade and a couple picks.

Glad I'm not Cavs GM, Lyle would have gotten me by now. We probably wouldn't have a pick until 2050.

that lakers/celtics 30 for 30 was pretty eye opening for someone who grew up in the 90s
I obviously knew all about the Lakers and Celtics rivalry but those were all through official NBA DVDs, so they weren't going to touch on some of the heavier topics.
I thought we were past this... it seemed like Boston fucking loved their 2008 big 3. but trump's president so what do I know

The Rockets are Tien
He's better based on what? I'm not a big stats guy but CP3 had a higher DWS than Bradley last year. And the idea that Bradley being feared in crunch time is your main idea behind him being better than Paul is ridiculous. There's so many defensive possessions in a game that I would never say a guy is better on one end of the floor because he happens to be clutch. That's basically the same thing as claiming Joe Johnson is better offensively than LeBron because he hits more game winners.
Man that was just me using one example shit calm down
Watching Celtics and Clippers games this season, I believe Bradley to have been a better defender. Especially because stats when it comes to defense are not as good as offensive advanced stats. Like at all.
Well first off you shouldn't be coming to any conclusions based on 2 games. I happened to watch the Clippers be the best defensive team in the NBA for the first 15 games of the year (prior to the team dealing with some injuries), and CP3 was a huge part of that.
You thought I meant games played between the two?
My bad. Definitely misread that.
So ya ignore the first sentence. But my 2nd point still stands.

Who on the Rockets even represents Vegeta? Besides CP3 getting angry in an "awe that's cute little guy" kinda way.
Rockets still #4 in the league as is...probably 5 behind celtics

we'll lose out to Gohan at the end (The Phoenix Suns), but at least we beat Goku and everyone else
