Contradicts the previous article.


He doesn't need to pull out this damage control 3 years later, does anybody really blame him for leaving such a shitty situation?

Blame him for leaving? No. Blame him for the way in which he brought about his leaving? Absolutely.

What did he do? Ask for a trade?

Would you have rather had him leaving for nothing?

His team manipulated the trade market to try to force him to the Lakers for a shitty trade. He is more full of shite than a port-a-john at the state fair. That said, he would have had to leave money on the table to leave in free agency. Have his endorsements even grown that much? The Cliff Paul commercials are about it nationally.

Here's a secret: Anthony Davis will do something similar if we aren't contending within the next 5 seasons.

Every first-tier NBA player does this nowadays.

He pouted the whole season. Parked his arse in the corner every 4th quarter. Allowed those stories to linger.

And now he's trying to rewrite his history here. It's annoying.

Kevin Durant isn't asking for a trade even though the ownership there is intent on saving money instead of winning. And just because Dwight and Carmelo are cock suckers doesn't mean AD is. All of those players made their choices and saw their public images flop. Maybe the next group of superstars learned something from that?

His biggest commercial before leaving was the Right Guard talking armpit, so I'll say he's come a long way. I'm guessing he is also doing well in region specific deals & probably got a $$$ bump from his other deals (Nike,etc.).

David West left as a free agent. It pisses me off that he and CP talked about leaving together, but at least he wasn't passing the ball with 18 left on the shot clock and running to the corner every possession of the 4th quarter.

And every time we have a CP thread someone asks the exact same David West-related question.

Oh, you mean the guy on the team that made a final appearance and won the west in the last 2 seasons isn't complaining?

Who said that? If we aren't a perennial top 4 team by year 5, AD will be looking elsewhere.

You do realize Worldwide Wes controls the NBA right?

I think if Benson would have bought the team before the league had to step in you might have had a chance. But since that didn't happen this is a big fat lie.

This narrative might be the most ridiculous on this board.

Accounting for the minutes disparity, it looks like fairly consistent production to me.

Edit:

If you switch to Advanced numbers, Paul's Net Rating is the highest in the 4th quarter (+9). He was a different player post injury, doesn't mean he was pouting or not trying.
