The idea that replacing Rondo with CP3 would have made the Celtics a champion sometime after 2011 is extremely flawed. Chris Paul has been surrounded by a lot of talent in his career and never played a second in the NBA Finals. Not sure adding CP3 to old Ray, Pierce and KG assures any title.
Do you remember CP3 back then?
I'm salivating thinking how much even better he could have been on defense with KG holding him accountable for every possession.
And even if his defense was never better than Rondo's.... His combination of shooting, scoring, and playmaking would have catapulted our offense to the top of the league. That's guaranteed.
A lack of spacing was the only thing stalling our offense. CP3 was literally the ideal upgrade for our team because he would have given us a lot better spacing without skipping a beat on defense or playmaking.
