    If we do that, and CP3 ends up on TNT... we will be Barkley-ed for the next decade.

    There was a Article on this, most likely Rockets offer a 2 year deal. Rocket really have a small window

    I expect Chris to take less money to have a better chance to win.

    If Chris won't take less money like KD did then he doesn't really care about winning a title.

    What else do we do? Let him walk and be bad and still not have enough cap space to sign any star?

    Yall are crazy if you think teams dont want paul. Lakers would max him + lebron in an instant.

    by this time next year chris paul will be 34 years old.

    giving the max to a 34 year old point guard who struggles to stay healthy, who struggles to beat his man of the dribble now?

    tough decision. committing to that and ruining your cap basically ensures the rockets turn into the western conference raptors.

    CP is a great player and I hope we keep him.

    But with his age and his injury history, with how long his max contract would be, and with us looking like we still need to add and improve even more, let's hope that it doesn't come at the price of a 5 year max contract

    I hope not, he's as bad under pressure as Gordon. I say let him walk, sign Rondo and Paul George, then trade Clint to Phoenix for T.J Warren and Tyson Chandler
