    ...consistently in LA, that is!



    And...

    Hahahaaha...."trying to help him" bandage his head trauma as they continuously hammer in the decision of opting out.

    Well look at that, there's not enough tape...just cover the rest of it with a hoodie. (Said the OKC med staff probably)

    Lol. Helping him for his most informed decision.

    They probably tell him that there won't be a lot of playing time available and he is better off trying his luck elsewhere while freeing precious cap space.

    love to be a fly on the wall for the melo conversations. my guess is presti's been beating the bushes on behalf of melo to see who would take him in a s&t were he to opt out. i hope melo says "i'm opting in, and you're buying me out at 90% of my contract value".

    What in the world is that Carmelo stuff about? There is nothing to become "informed" about. The decision is easy. TAKE THE MONEY THE LIKES OF WHICH NO ONE ELSE WILL EVER EVER GIVE YOU AGAIN.

    It doesn't even matter if he opts out and they pay PG as far as making room for more players, they will still be over the cap - all it would do is save them a lot of tax penalty.

    Yeah no fudging way he's not taking his last big pay check. Imo he would have opted out already.

    Only chance technically okc has is if they pull off a Melo dump but they'd have to give up Adams(Roberson too?) and who has the salary to be able to take on both of those guys?

    s*** for all we know they're both meeting up with LeBron later haha...next thing you know they're all chillin having some shrimp cocktail and some white wine, before good ol Chris Paul face times Lebron like "WHAT UP DOE".

    If we're talking this year only, if we keep all our youth and Paul teamed up with LeBron here in LA... We could beat the warriors imo. Chris Paul damn near beat the warriors by himself, dude earned my respect.

    Remember with LeBron,chris could have magical Miami midnight runs...wed literally could keep him on a minute watch Spurs style and save him for the playoffs.

    Keep him on a minute restriction... Monitor his legs like a hawk,some extra rest etc. Plus Lebron will show him dat magical recovery process, might get some cramps but better than full blown injury lolz.

    In addition to limiting his minutes, change his diaper and give him a fresh binky!

    Haha. I disliked him before that warriors series... But I'll say it again, single handedly almost beat the warriors. That was unreal. Earned my respect. Lebron knows this... That's why you're hearing the Chris Paul noise now imo.

    He’s always had my respect from a skills and talent perspective... it’s all the other crap, e.g., the flopping, whining, etc. that draws my ire. He’s so good he doesn’t need to do that. Kobe didn’t flop and he’s one of the greatest players ever.

    I agree but I didn't see none of that in the playoffs. Perhaps playing on those clipps teams and the entire league tryong to get a quick call and favorism had him in it way too deep. Same with LeBron... That's before the league got serious and sended out memos for flopping and ish.

    Anyways, he also played some hounding D in the playoffs imo. I want him,at what expense I dunno but he's intriguing lol.

    I'm just a big baller living in a big world trying to eat them Ws.
