Not too shocked, after this series with the Grizz, and the fact that they're still the Clippers.

I'll bet it's mostly speculation, but thoughts?

  How funny would it be CP3 and DH both left LA this summer?

I think CP3 will stay in LA with the Clippers.

What other team can offer him a better running mate for the next 5+ years than Blake Griffin? What team is offering him such an improved title-shot that CP3 is willing to leave $20-30 million on the table and take the lesser offer?

Agreed. I can possibly see Dwight to Houston but I really think both stay and take the money.

I think it's just CP3 making demands to dictate the Clipper's offseason moves while he can

Maybe houston should trade Lin and Asik for Chris Paul and then sign Dwight Howard.   CP3, Dwight and Harden is a pretty frightening Big 3.

Things are looking good for Dallas.

They have the money and they still have Dirk.

Eh. They really just need a new coach. They have a lot of talent, but they need someone who can really bring it together to get to the next level.

I might be the only one, but when I read the title, I thought "Paul" referred to Paul Pierce.

My heart fell out, until it said "CP3." Even then, I scrolled to see if Pierce's name was there.

Come on man, gotta be more careful.

He said "a different Paul", it's in Around the NBA and not a Celtics subforum, and Pierce isn't a free agent so resigning with the Cs is a non-issue.  Not sure how much more bubblewrapped this needs to be.


RE: the topic - Wouldn't be surprised if CP3 left - he hasn't seemed especially happy with the Clippers, and Dallas is an appealing destination; and he's reportedly wanted to be a Knick for years, though I don't know how that deal could work.  But no surprises if he leaves town.

  Maybe that way he could find out what it's like to get past the 2nd round of the playoffs.
