I've never given much attention to it, but the Clippers are really in a tough spot. If Paul is truly all about winning then I don't see him resigning.

 

[Hurricane Season]

Why?  The Clippers are already winning.

 

[Pugz]

they arent a championship team without injuries to other teams. but the teams with cap space are far from championships

Exactly. That team has no where to go but down. They won't get better.

I think they peaked early in the season and now they're setting up for a first or second round exit. I just think most people think it's a foregone conclusion that Chris Paul is back, but he's a guy who has always talked about winning as the number one priority and now he's seeing his friends starting to win rings, I just don't know how he goes back for 4 or 5 years with a team that is going backwards and not forwards. Seriously, if they go one and done, how does he go back?

I think in a lot of ways they made the mistake the Hornets did. They went out and surrounded Paul with a bunch of veterans that are signed to stupid contracts, and these are veterans that will continue to slip and get worse, not better. I mean they have Blake Griffin, who's basketball IQ has just disappeared. In college and his first year or so in the NBA he didn't try and do anything he couldn't, he played around the basket, he didn't take dumb shots, but now he thinks he's Kevin Garnett or David West taking 18 foot jumpshots that he can't make. The entire defense just backs off of him and begs him to take it. They gave DeAndre Jordan a deal that doesn't even begin to match his production to the team. Then you have the rest of their roster, Crawford, Billups, Barnes, Green, Turiaf, Odom, Hollins, Grant Hill. I mean who on that list isn't going to fall off a cliff soon? Some of them already have.

The only player they have on that roster that I haven't mentioned that's going to get better is Eric Bledsoe, and he's stuck behind Chris Paul. And now it seems they're starting to give his minutes to the vets as the playoffs creep closer.

 

[Pugz]

yea but where else will he go where he can win more and make more money? no where.
