may be out in 1st rd. Wonder if he still re-ups with Clippers. They may not get out of 1st rd and they may have to get rid of Bledsoe due to cap.

I think the only way we get Bledsoe is if Paul stays. I can see Paul going to either new york,okc, mia, or Lakers. He will take a paycut to contend.

I think CP3 is starting to figure out that he will never win a championship by himself as the best player. Might end up in Houston for all we know.
If Clippers lose in 1st rd, I don't think he resigns with them. The problem for him is finding a good team with the cap space or he takes a big cut like players going to Miami. I don't want him back with Pelicans. I would like us to draft Trey Burke. I see a lot of CP3 in his game. Draft Burke and pick up a SF in FA and we make playoffs next year.

Too easy.
Wherehappens.
Would love that.
He's going to be so cheap, too. Too easy, with little to no effort in FA. They could even target a C or even another SF like Brewer if Aminu leaves.
Lot of options, going to be a fun offseason.
I think Dallas is going to be a player for Paul. I can see him and Howard signing there Cuban would gladly pay for that pairing.
I'll shoot myself if Paul follows me to Atlanta.
I hope he resigns, that frees up Bledsoe. And they won't be a threat, they'll be the same team for the entire time he's there, worse, when all of the old guys start breaking down and retiring.

How's Houston's cap situation? Imagine him and Howard pairing up with Harden.
OKC is the only team you mentioned that is even a possibility. One of the new provisions of the CBA prevents higher tax teams from doing Sign and Trades. New York, LA and Miami would have to dump contracts and get below the $74 million mark to even be allowed to do a S&T of CP3. On top of that Sterling has a worse reputation for cheapness than Shinn. I can see him taking Melo or Wade back, but outside of that I think he'd rather have CP3's salary back than take back lesser players making the same amount of money as Paul but become a 7-12 seed instead of a top 4 seed.
Oh god I hope not!
It's a very real and scary possibility. We'd be screwed.

We'd be thoroughly in a bad way in terms of truly contending. Team would be...frightening.
In my opinion CP3 only has 2 options, resign with the Clippers or return where it all started. Any other place, makes him look bad.

I'd much rather him stay with the Clippers than be a tremendous obstacle in our own damn division, that's for sure.
I may cry if he and dwight go to Houston. Thats not even fair....
How can Houston have all that cap space they just sign Lin, Ashik, and Harden to some nice size contracts?
I would think that maybe sign and trades would be involved with more Houston players like Parsons and such. Unlikely.
I think Harden is still on his rookie deal, plus Lin was only 5 million and Asik 8. Besides those 2 most of their contracts are cheap: Parsons and Beverly are two that come to mind. This is their big offseason, though. If they come up short they don't have a second chance to make as big of an impact next year.
The have quite a few guys on team options next year so the only guys they are committed to are Harden, Asik, Lin, and 4 rookies. TRob, Royce White, Motiejunas and Jones. Drop everyone else, use Lin and Asik to trade for Dwight or CP3 and then sign the other.

Yes, this season is his last on his rookie deal. Next year he's due $13m.
What if Kobe and Nash both retire from the Lakers? I knwo itys a logn shot for both of those to happen, but Kobe has been talking about retirement for years, and turmoil at the Lakers may push him over the edge. If that happens, they will have some money to spend. How much better would Dwight Howard be with CP3 feeding him?
Even if the Lakers amnesty Kobe, why would Nash walk away from $19 million? But even if that happens there is still about a $20 million cap hold in place for Dwight. They'd need to amnesty Kobe, have Nash retire and find a team with cap space that would take Gasol without sending much back. I don't see the Lakers as an option.
