    And every Lakers fan would be wise to get used to, better yet embrace, the Art of Flopping.

    They've both toned it down imo...didnt see much antics from either in these past playoffs.

    I would agree for LeBron, but not CP3. I think it is a important part of his game like the Art of Flailing is for Harden.

    I can't believe I went from disliking Chris Paul to respecting the hell out of him Vs the warriors so effing fast. Dude was THE man out there. Warriors got let off the hook 2 years straight imo.

    Lebron, CP and Kawhi are the big 3 warrior killers.

    Considering Chris Paul is my 1.b most hated player in the league next to James Harden’s 1.a, not good. Not good at all... Asking me to root for LeBron (top 5 hated list) AND Chris Paul together, that’s asking a lot of me.

    Weird that Chris Paul's hamstring is posting on a message board.

    I absolutely want Paul George way more than CP3.

    But if George decides on OKC and our options are either:

    • Max out Lebron (4 years) and max CP3 (3 years)

    OR

    • Strike out on everyone and have another summer of one-year rentals.
    Yeah, I’d gladly take on CP3...

    “Siri: how old is Chris Paul?“

    Ewww, for a high mileage point guard?
    Meh

    “Siri: What is Chris Paul’s injury history?”

    Oh hell naw!

    CP is a great player, Kobe knew. Problem is his body can’t stand up to 4 playoff series going full steam. That’s why I think signing him is fools gold. A healthy CP is a top 10 player in this league.

    I’d rather settle for a broken Cousins than CP3 if we’re talking about worst case scenarios

    maybe the karmic power of the purple and gold armor can protect CP from the well deserved injuries he suffered this past 6 years

    Lebron and PG please. I do not know where the hell this CP3 horse**** is coming from. Lakers have a point guard who has a high IQ, plays defense and can rebound at a rookie contract for the next 3 years. Why would you get rid of that to get a geezer who cant make it through a full seasons.

    Lakers do not have to lose any players and still get two max players. With a little maneuvering, i am sure rob and mag can get some salaries out so they could bring back Randle too. What are we talking about?

    The guy who almost beat the warriors by himself. And Paul can start next to lonzo. Lonzo can guard the SG.

    Does anyone seriously think Chris / Cliff Paul is going to forego the over 200 million contract he could sign with Houston?

    What I want to know is which camp floated this CP3 rumor first.

    No, there’s no way if they offer it he turns it down. My fear is they wise up and see that they only got one round further with Paul than without and then he got hurt like he always does. So, they move on and try to trade for a different star, who knows, like Wall or Beal or something, we are talking about Morey here. In that case Paul is a free agent, and we have slots open, and possibly LeBron signing, they’re buddies...it starts to get nightmarish for me from there. I just hope the Rockets keep the deal they promised while tampering..er trading for Paul.

    He looks more like a Cliff than a Chris too.
