I like how the tweet gives two reasons why he might Sign with lakers , but San Antonio is just because?
I’m sure spurs will pursue him like “hey CP you want play 10 minites of the bench for a min contract? No? Ok good luck.”

I’d rather give those reps to someone to work on their game.

I think we’re all in agreement on this

I seriously can’t wait for after the trade deadline so these threads will go away for a while.

Man, the Lakers are going to be really deadly after they get Chris Paul, Donovan Mitchell, OG, tre young, Garland, and bridges This off-season. Of course the Lakers keep coming up as a Target for Paul. They’re the freaking Lakers everyone and their grandma is going to connect them to everyone and their grandma.
I’m actually in the minority in that I would not mind a Paul signing for cheap. He’d be a really solid veteran and it would be short-term. But I’ll believe it when I see it and I think these reports are full of it. There’s literally no reason to believe Paul, someone as competitive and obsessed with getting a championship as he is, would just throw that away for a year of hanging out with the kiddos in San Antonio and getting 35 wins.

i understand us being interested in him, i don’t understand him being interested in us.

I think we’re just going to be mentioned as potential landing spots a lot based on our cap space and Wemby brining us into the spotlight. Most of these articles are not worth putting much thought into.

Spurs are always the default in these conversations. Need leverage? I heard he may sign with the Spurs. Need to try and get more out of a trade partner? Tell Shams, as the GM, that the Spurs are also interested. Girlfriend catches you texting another girl? Tell her that she’s just the Spurs bro. She’ll understand.

I can’t imagine why Paul would want to come to the Spurs
krsaxor
If we are getting a PG in the draft, then I wouldnt mind bring CP to mentor. Let him start the beggining of the year then bring him off the bench by start of January.

No. We’re not going to be the reason that bum gets a ring.

Depends how the draft goes. Drafted talent should get the playing time priority

At this point in his career what does cp3 offer that tre jones doesn’t? Certainly not over the 2015 game winner or every time Chris has pouted to the refs or his teammates. This is not gonna happen.

Ain’t no way. He is toxic

Chris Paul is a defensive liability and prone to losing his mental priorities at the slightly provocation from refs.

I hope I’m wrong but even with Wemby I doubt we’re going to be a star free agent destination, we’re still going to be a small market so these articles are really just filler.

Not interested. Rather we try out our youth or trade for a legitimate star, not an aging vet like CP3.

N-O. Not even going to dive into the ocean of obvious CP-jokes he would bring, but he’s just too old and not efficient enough anymore. If he was just a little younger(like when OKC got him at 34) and or was still hovering around 15’ish points per game, I could entertain the idea of a veteran PG being brought in. I know he was big for SGA’s development, but he gave SGA an All-Star level production to witness and learn from. He will NOT be providing something of that value to whoever we draft, so a big NO THANK YOU.

I’d rather bring in Immanuel Quickely, since he’s young enough to still improve into a player that’s either a piece to keep or a great trade bait. Plus, his scoring is WAYYY higher than CP’s as of now. If we are to bring in somebody to be a mentor for whoever we draft, I’d rather them be able to actually score so there’s something worth learning from. CP’s 7.5-8.5 PPG won’t be anywhere near the kind of production he gave SGA to learn from.
WesleyFRM
I really like it tbh. He could sign on a short term deal would also help wemby and whatever pg we draft develop. Its clear how much he helped SGA.
thelunarunit
I hope they get him. CP is like another coach on the floor. He would be a tremendous help in getting the young guys to limit mistakes. The reason people hate him is the reason he is so great, he will do anything to win.

I dont think Paul will sign with the spurs, that man is desperate for a championship ring, there’s a high chance Lakers can get it with LeBron and they are the Lakers. 🤷🏽♂️

I don’t think picking him up would be good mainly because I’m not sure how he would deal with taking a backseat/leadership role(mainly backseat), but holy shit some of y’all are so annoying when it comes to this conversation because any time a player is brought up, all some of you can say is just “Nah” without adding anything.

My perfect off season if we cant get anyone thats actually awesome and young, like Garland, go for Chris Paul and Klay Thompson. 2 proven bets that fit a need , can shoot and can bring leadership and pro attitude to a young growing team.
tlpedro
lol CP3 gets to go to his real team 13 years later with no one to veto him.

Why the hell would the Spurs trade for Chris Paul? That makes zero sense in the middle of a rebuild that is going quite well!

Chris Paul to the Lakers is like that prom queen you crushed upon in high school who now weight 250 lbs with 4 kids and 2 divorces. Sometime, you just have to let memory be memory.
