Long Article- Possibility of a CP3 Return to Nola

if he does, it's next year. if he's 100% healed, and he'd be almost 30. he must be wanting to take a nice cut

Read it earlier. Huge reach. I don't think I want him back.

I was One of the few people who said LAC would not put him in a much better situation that what he had here going forward. He took the easy way out; I see him as a traitor. Don't run back here when things are looking up. Weak shite

Long Article- Possibility of a CP3 Return to Nola

---

I'll bet anybody on this board $100 on this., Chris Paul is NOT going back to New Orleans. If he leaves the Clippers after next year, which is likely IMO, he's going somewhere where he can win a championship sooner rather than later.

That's not New Oreleans and it's not my beloved Clippers.

ya, it's two reasons...

i don't want him because he left. he was a traitor, and he can't come back. He can't play for us when things are good, and leave when things are bad. that's shitty.

and i definitely don't want to give a 6', 30 year old PG with knee problems a max contract. I don't think he's as good as he was a few years ago, and he will only continue to decline

i wouldn't be against it, but he doesn't want to come back

First, to all you jilted lovers, grow the frick up. CP3 wasn't actually you're girlfriend, he's a basketball player and he's probably the only max level talent we have a shot at signing as a free agent in the next few years.

Second, to all of the, "no way it will happen" crowd, CP3 will have a limited number of choices to make and the Hornets will be far from his worst option. He will already have been exposed the LA market to please his marketing people and if he comes back to the Hornets it would be because he'd push them to contender status and we'll have plenty of nationally televised games keeping his profile high enough to please his marketing people.

I'm personally on the fence about it. Even though Gordon is injury prone, CP3 has a known chronic injury. I feel better giving Gordon max money than CP3. Also, do we want 2 max players that are likely to miss a good many games each year? On the other hand, what other max level talent will the Hornets have a legit shot at in the next 2 years?
