Would anyone other than rockets have been willing to give chris paul a 4 year max?
philly maybe - but with kawhi, lebron, and cousins all directing traffic in free agency he wasn't anyone's priority on day one

teams were more interesting in clearing capspace going into 2020 than rushing to make room for a 37 year old pg that needs more and more time off during the season

I read that Orlando and IT are very close to getting a deal done..Orlando desperately needs a point guard too. Many teams would sign IT right away if he agreed to come off bench and didn't talk so much

Man I’ll believe it when I see it.. Dude can’t keep his mouth shut and he thinks he’s bigger than what he is..

I feel like the situation last season really humbled him. Dude is going to work hard to prove he still belongs in the league.

Some players talking and having that certain chip on their shoulder i don’t mind because they use it psychologically as fuel to bolster them. Thomas being a small guy and battling that height disadvantage I always saw as someone who used confidence to make himself a better player

I forgot where I read it but it was dead on accurate about IT: 6th Man of the Year talent, MVP ego
