Is parkers career over? It must have been an ACL. He had to be carried off
Boy, that Chris Paul to San Antonio storyline just got quite a bit more interesting, huh?
Man, I'd really love to see that. I'd actually like to be able to root for Paul once in his career. I can't do it with how he acts out on the court PLUS the fact that he's an LA guy now.
Not sure where that story line is coming from unless Paul is willing to leave a lot of cash on the table. Spurs would have a very difficult time of coming closer than about $3 million of his max, and that's assuming Pau opts out and Green is traded. Not to mention he won't make up the lost salary from turning down a 5th year.
On the one hand, Chris Paul seems like the type that might take a little pay cut to play for the Spurs before he's too old.
On the other hand, as the president of the players' union Paul just helped negotiate a rule change that would allow older players to keep getting max contracts which reads like he's not planning on taking a pay cut for anyone.
So who knows.
