I don't get this all that much from the Clippers/CP3's point of view, to be honest.

Garnett has what? One year left? So maybe they get one year of him to make a run (and I don't think that puts them in the Finals at all).

Then they have a gaping hole at Center with no money to sign one even with Jordan and Garnett off the books. They would have to make some more moves to clear salary.

Just an update, not only is it potentially back on, it's back on because CP3 directly asked for it. So if it falls apart...

shite like this is why I hated Paul when he demanded out.

His insistence on having direct influence over personnel moves pissed me off, mainly in that he demanded Collison be shipped out so that the front office could show loyalty to him instead of keeping a potential successor on the roster.
