Phoenix adds Chris Paul and they are now 5-1 and have the best record in the NBA.  I thought they would be a better team with CP3, but I didn’t expect this. He’s the ultimate floor general and has the Suns playing some great basketball. I don’t think he gets enough recognition around the league. Makes you wonder, would he have been able to do the same for the Celtics?

At some point you have to blame the performance on the court on the players on the court. Every loss is not the coach's fault and every win isn't because of the players.

Shocking that CP3 still has this much left in the tank.

One of the great “what ifs” is considering where we’d be if the CP3 for Rondo trade had been consummated.

Think you mean “The Effect of Riding the Bubble-Suns Coattails” ;)

It is very impressive though, I thought he was done when he had those hamstring injuries in Houston. Keeps changing his game to adjust to his declining athleticism. Reminds me of how D-Wade aged

I've never really liked Chris Paul but I've been slowly changing my opinion of him the last few years.  The thing I absolutely love about him is how much he cares about winning.  I mean, he genuinely cares more about the good of the team than the good of Chris Paul.  It's such a rare thing in the NBA.  And it's very refreshing to see.

Lakers probably have a couple more championships if he had not been denied the trade by the owners.

We should have traded Kemba for CP3. A 3-way with the Knicks would have been a nice deal for all teams involved.

Celtics in: CP3
Knicks in: Kemba
Thunder in: Randle + pick(s) + filler(s)

He know he's no longer the superstar he was. It's good to see him becoming less egotistical as he age.

Want to keep it real? Even Jordan at this age can beat an average non-athlete in a pick up.

As much as I hated CP3, he made every team he went to into a playoff contenders. They were 1 game away from beating the Warriors in 2017. Thunder wasn't even suppose to make the playoffs last year and they almost made the second round.

It's CP3 himself who botched that trade.
