I dont know, but if you want to act like Chris Paul isn't playing at a superstar level go right ahead. He has more responsibility in his role than Westbrook or Durant and the team was a lottery squad without him.

Here's a question for our Clips fans:

After getting trounced in 2012 but the Spurs and after getting trounced in 2013 by the Grizz, what argument can you put forward for the team showing any improvement in 2014 (noting the addition of Dudley and Reddick and the loss of Butler, Bledsoe and probably Barnes)?

I see no improvement in them. CP3 is a star but he's no where near good enough to progress that roster past the first or second round (as we have seen). Unless Blake takes a big leap forward I don't see where the improvement comes from in that team. Or maybe Vinny really was holding them back these last two years and Doc is the X-factor that puts them over the top.

Someone convince me.

He's the Dominique Wilkins of our generation.

Howard looks like he's 50/50 between Houston and LA. Imagine how much sand-in-vagina-itis LA would collectively develop if he left. It'd be great.

Is it even 50/50? He only met with the Lakers for an hour and Dantoni isn't fired yet.

If I was Dwight I wouldn't consider staying in LA. Houston has a better team IMO and the Lakers org and fanbase have treated him like crap all year.

Plus Slim Thug knows how to sell someone on a city

or Dallas, if only because I really like Canes and this way you know that even if all the Baby Mamas take all your money you won't starve to death.

A lot of the "insider" stuff I read is split between LA and Houston--GSW, Atl and Dallas don't rate much of a mention. Houston makes the most sense for him IMO but who knows. Money always talks and he can make a lot more in LA.

Oh god. I'm so torn. FUCK.

Okay, I'll take Rudy Gay and his ridiculous 18m a year to get rid of Charlie V. I think I can stomach that.

Has the Gay trade gone down?

How amazing is Ujiri if this is so? In one month he's been able to almost undo all the damage Colangelo did in seven years.

Seriously though, Pistons can't fucking do that. Charlie V and Stuckey are at their most valuable as expiring contracts, right before the huge FA class.
