Chris is Mad with Clips {merged}

[JJackisangry]

I have defended Chris Paul, but he is just being a giant t i tty baby now. Stop all of this cowardly PR crap Christpher! We know you wanted the guy gone! Hell I did and i hate your team.

[PowerPel]

If it is a PR move then Sterling not committed to paying Paul. Sterling probably realizes if he pays CPME no way he can afford to keep Griffin.

[WhoDatPelican]

Where did this name originate from?

I first read the CPME nickname here. I've also heard Bobby and Deke use it on 870 which gave me a smile.

I can't speak for others but I know I, for one, am not butthurt. I understand wanting to have a better chance at winning but he went to the Clippers. A team that when you think of winning, they were one of the last teams you'd think about. Now if you just wanted to be in a bigger market because people are in your ear telling you you should be in a big market or your thinking that being in a bigger market gives you a better chance at winning, then just say so. But don't go there talking like you're going to a winning, ten times better organization. Just don't do that. I think that's what a lot of people here's beef is with Chris. The only thing the Clippers had over the Hornets at the time that Paul left was stability. Stability in knowing that the Clippers weren't a relocation threat. That, along with them being in a big market. That is all they had over the Hornets.

Good post. But the Clippers were not his initial choice nor destination. The Lakers Fiasco did happen. Ultimately, Stern stepped in and Chris was sent to the Clippers for what was supposed to be the better deal. Its unclear how much choice he had in the matter. And honestly, the Clippers were a very young team at that time and in a relatively good position to move forward. But I think it largely boils to down the instability and long term prospects of our Organization at that time. It didn't look like we were ever going to be in a position to offer him stability or a chance of winning at that time. So I don't blame him for wanting to go to the Lakers. The clippers was basically, its better to be there in a large market than in what was a sinking ship of the Hornets at that time.

No, it may not have been his initial choice but he was happy to accept it to get away from our "sinking ship" so like I said, let him deal with it.

And what is Sterling thinking? He should've at least waited until he had Paul's signature before coming out with this.

Dang. For real? SMH. LOL.

Cuban still has room to pay him.

Seriously. Just when you think he can't get more incompetent.

[GeauxPelicans]

He his not coming back here, Already been wining and dining with Cuban. Oh and Dirk agreed to paycut. Hint Hint Hint

He can't take a pay cut until after next season. Once u sign your contract, it can't be edited at any time.

Agree, Dallas can still sign Chris Paul hate to say.

[GeauxPelicans]

Agree, Dallas can still sign Chris Paul hates to say.

I'm not sure exactly what you are saying here, but yes Dallas can offer Chris a max contract. They have roughly 23 million (minus the cap space for draft pick) to spend. They want Howard too though, not sure how this will happen without someone taking a drastic pay cut.

[FlyGirl]

Cool. I'm sure the Clips fans will have fun spending most of their summer worrying about what Chris Paul wants to do.

Yep. So happy it is not our problem. I don't guess the Knicks can pay CPME either

[Pelican589]

Why cause he left the hornets... The man did everything he could to make this team better its not his fault we couldn't get pieces around him I truly hopes he gets a ring

You got it. Some people around the city act like the jealous ex girlfriend whose ex upgraded. The Hornets were a team with unsteady ownership/future and a roster that was far from championship contention and we weren't going anywhere until the roster was blown up. No chance we would get out of the first round with Okafor, Ariza, and Belineli. CP3 doesn't owe anything to us, he's a man that is chasing his dream of winning a championship. In fact, we should be grateful with how he left us. If he stayed and finished out that season, he would've still left in FA, plus we don't get Eric Gordon, Aminu, the pick that gave us Austin Rivers, and we wouldn't have been sucky enough to land our franchise player with the 1st pick ANTHONY DAVIS. I hope Chris finds a place to win a ring and it'd be nice if it were here.

Chasing a dream with the behavior of a spoiled brat? Yeah how is that Clippers dream working out?

[jgman]

With the team that they had, with one of the best benches in the league, one of the most promising PF's in the league, the best PG in the league, and all those other pieces, there is no excuse that they were a first round exit. Normally after regressing from the past year(they won in the first round, against the Memphis) the coach's job will come under review. Everyone and their mother knows that VDN is not a good enough coach to get them where they want to go. I remember him saying something along the lines of "coaching really isn't that important, the players on the court doing what they are supposed to do is" or something like. It is no surprise to me that he got fired and I doubt Chris Paul was the only one who wanted a real coach. People on here are hating on Chris way too much for this and are overlooking the fact that VDN pretty much should have been fired anyway.

Chris is pissed because the owner released to the public that it was pretty much 100% Chris' fault VDN got fired. The ownership threw their best player, who they are currently trying to sign, under the bus, is that a legitimate reason to be pissed? yes. What does it say about Chris that he wants a real coach? That he wants to win or that he is "a whinny titty baby" who likes large markets. This is just straight up hate.

[FlyGirl]

The grass isn't always greener on the other side but hey, I guess you at least gotta go see if it is. He did, now let him deal with it. Good for him.

Direct to me to the Anthony Davis threads. Thank you Chris Paul for Anthony Davis.

[Eman5805]

Indeed. I regret nothing. We traded a small for a big. That's almost always a good move.

[ml wave]

What exactly is your definition of butthurt?

Your post. He left, there was no season-long Dwightmare, we got assets in return unlike with The Decision...so who cares why he said he left. He also had no control over where he was going (see: original trade with Lakers).

Well you can think what you want but I'm not butt hurt at all. He's where he is. You're right, no matter why, he's there so let him deal with it.

Sounds like you're butt-hurt over others being butt-hurt.

[tyler]

LOL, ok, keep being naive. You're right, Chris is a Saint. Only difference between CP and Howard is Chris is smart enough to not act like an idiot in the publics eye. Plus he just gets Broussard to write pieces like this for his image. Dude "just wants to win" and is happy playing for the Clippers? Please, that organization was as bad as the Shinn Hornets. Keep believing everything he says if you want but it's all BS.

Even if he is like that he doesn't show it... I'm not saying he is a saint but he's a whole lot better then D12

If I remember correctly and correct me if I am wrong... It was either the Clippers or Golden State Warriors... And Golden State wasn't gonna trade unless they knew for sure CP3 was going to resign with them..
