Skip and Shannon on reports Chris Paul is recruiting LeBron to come to Houston | NBA | UNDISPUTED

It's a long shot, but if it were to happen, how nice of Houston's rocket to be with LBJ, considering they made the Western Conference Finals without the best player in the world, it's hard for me to see them worse. this is just pie in the sky Chris Paul wants a max contract that will pay him what over 200 million LeBron James wants a max contract that will pay him I guess so. I don't know unless you tell me he'll accept it. this issue in Jenkins' lead article when it was Sports Illustrated when he came back he said, "I'll never play my best." Yes, okay, James Harden already has a max contract.

I hope Chris Paul and LeBron understand that this is five on five. -five basketball, this is not ice cubes, Big Freedia now, so a big three is of no use to you if you don't have two more players to complete the starting five and then what are you going to do with your bench now? Walsh is reporting that this is the most, how do you use it? Skip, this is the hardest

recruiting

job he's ever done. He wrote that because that happened, well this is LeBron vs DeAndre, okay, but at that moment he wanted Audrey to

come

back, yeah, that's what locked him in his house, yeah, jump, I just think this is piling on to this type.

I'm sure tomorrow there will be There will be another scenario where he will possibly stay in Cleveland on Kauai and Kimball Walker will

come

there or there will be a scenario where it looks like they will be better, there is no doubt how much better is what I'm worried about leaving out because we They were worried about Chris Paul and James, tough guys to master, they made it work pretty well. I was surprised how well it worked, especially in the Western Conference Finals, but go ahead, but there are three guys I don't know. I get it now, LeBron.

He won't have to play as many minutes, he won't have to play with the ball as much, but I don't understand how you can have those three top guys on the same team, LeBron, but this is what LeBron is going to have to understand. kill one or two things will have to happen, whether it's an additional 10 or 12 million dollars is more important than the rings because that's what Kevin, the reason Golden State was able to do what they did, Draymond took about 12 million of dollars less over the life of the contract and Kevin Durant is playing pennies on the dollar, that's what he says.

I still don't know how they put all that under that cap, but they did and they kept digging dolls and kept Shawn dressed while they did it right because Kevin. Durant says I'll play for 10-12 million or less than what I can give, that's fine and Draymond is below market value. The clay is below market value, but the complicated thing with his abilities is how we keep this together after another year. Because everyone is going to be a great play, the Rockets are going to be better, how much better, I don't know, because if you sign these guys you're going to have to give up so much that you're going to lose a cappella, you're probably going to lose Eric Gordon. he would probably lose his breath trevor ariza you will probably go it will be the same thing that happened with Carmelo he wanted to get up from Denver he wanted to go to New York

but they had to give up so much to get him that when he got there, they had nothing so LeBron, you go into Houston , grandmother.

Oh, big three Chris Paul James Harden LeBron, formidable big three, hmm, but what will be the piece of that around you to complete this team? Hmm, so a hat before answering your question. Would you allow me to step back for a second and make a brief comment on what continues to amaze and amaze me in the national hysteria over the ultimate fate of the, quote-unquote, greatest player on the planet who at the end of the first game in the recent NBA Finals? NBA melted down and threw in the towel before overtime for their team and got swept in the finals and we go crazy day after day over the fate of a LeBron James hmm, I just wanted to throw that in for a little step back perspective, don't worry but guess what mmm Halle Berry still has no problem not having a date night she had a meltdown of sorts but guess what okay all the other teams wanted to be okay so they did it you were right and obviously I would do too much on all of these teams, so yeah, okay, so this comes down to me, if LA Bron James is actually going to leave the Cleveland Cavaliers in his home area, it comes down to Los Angeles or Houston because in Houston it offers this destiny of obviously Chris Paul and James Harden and LeBron and not much more true, I don't know what else they have left, they have to keep Ryan Anderson's contract because it is on the books for two more years at twenty-four million dollars, Yeah.

I don't know how you bet I don't know how you get rid of him Maybe it's Daryl Morey, who may be a magician, maybe he can do a little sleight of hand to get rid of him I don't know that contract Lee is as bad as the million dollar gang from Luol Deng's Lakers, let's start with that, okay, so you have that and if LeBaron goes to Houston, he would be coached by Mike D'Antoni and I have to say. The best defense I've ever seen a Mike D'Antoni team play was in the Western Conference Finals against Golden State.

Because Jeff Miss Delic is their new defensive coordinator this year, you know he took it to a level maybe it was because of the addition of PJ Tucker it was thanks to Ariza and Eric Gordon and everyone had a little bit of physical cappella, certainly cappella, who by the way was second in the NBA and blocks this year so he can protect the rim and if you lose, I'm not sure how to replace that for these guys, so we did it in Houston versus what it would be in Los Angeles to the max and again , I already told you what the best idea was, the best way to make a shot in Golden State is for LeBron to make it. call Kevin Durant and convince him to leave Golden State as an unrestricted free agent and go to Los Angeles with LeBron.

They both have houses. I think they both have several homes in the Los Angeles area and could partner with the Lakers and it would add strength to the Lakers and weaken Golden State, isn't that the best idea? Absolutely, Hank, you make your strength or weakness a little bit too much, okay, Beth Larry, less of that because it may be pie in the sky, although if it did. I'd be surprised if Kevin did that. I wouldn't be surprised if he's that type. It has that kind of nature. I'll try. I'll try well. He did this. I just won rings and back-to-back Finals MVP when Everybody Said Why Did You Leave Russell Westbrook and He Said, "Get Out." I proved that I can play anywhere and do what I do well.

I think he has a relationship with LeBron that has been like a friendly rival where he would beat him and then I would join him like me. I could see it happening, but let's say if it ends, let's make maybe a pie in the sky, but let's make Kawhi plus Paul George plus LeBron in Los Angeles playing for Luke Walton, okay, those two teams. we just outlined the Houston team or the Los Angeles teams. I'm not even sure what Los Angeles would have left if you add those three because you would have to trade big pieces for Kawhi Leonard, let's say it happens which team would have a better chance of dethroning the Golden State Warriors not Houston if you would really believe so LeBron Kawhi horrified you look Kawhi and Paul George are the number two or three personality type yeah yeah yeah superstar who is he is at number two showed you what he knows he smelled he wasn't hurt, showed you he's not a franchise character, He's not a carrier, he's not the face of a franchise, we don't need to be, he wasn't an alpha, he's not the number one, he's a complementary star like Paul is.

George, courtesy star, two-time Defensive Player of the Year, two-time first team All-nba, are you going to talk about him being a courtesy? Okay, I'm just talking about pure firepower, star power, if you put LeBron with cp3 and James Harden, you've got yourself. I got detonation, okay, let me ask you, this kid, let me sit in my chair, man, let me go back if you don't mind me asking,

what have you seen from James Harden and Chris Paul even in these Western Conference Finals, because yes you saw James Harden missed all those 3-pointers he was proud of, like 24 140 and 3-point attempts in the Western Conference Finals, so could you try watching Chris Paul play the best big-game basketball he's ever played?

I've seen him play and I had my doubts about a guy I used to call CP 0 as in 0 rings, you know, and I know if he hadn't gone lame at the end of game five, I'm pretty sure they'll win that series, what have we seen by Chris Paul? he always gets hurt, he would get hurt in Utah, he got hurt the year before, he'll get hurt, he'll be healthy, he'll be able to give you five, six or seven games needed, that's a fair point, but if he stays healthy, he'll be better. The team that has the best chance against Golden State because Chris is not afraid of them and, besides, it has always amused me that people thought that LeBron and D Wade were best friends, you know what you know, but there is Chris Paul.

God, there is part of a key that is correct in its most contemporary version, they are both 33 years old and it is rumored that Dwayne was always the older brother of LeBron's little brother, so Dwayne is three years older and feels like he is six or seven years older. In this case, there would be a connection between Chris and LeBron. I don't think they had a problem sharing the ball and how James handled it this year, I don't know, but he did.
