CP3 is eligible for the SUPER MAX from Houston
They either pay him that or he walks. There are only two options with him. Here's what a full max contract for Chris Paul would look like: 2018-19: $35.4 million 2019-20: $38.2 million 2020-21: $41.0 million 2021-22: $43.8 million 2022-23: $46.7 million Sum total of $205 million over five seasons. Chris Paul will be 37 years old in 2022 |

My Off-season prediction as of June 9:
LeBron James and Paul George to Lakers. Will then trade for Kawhi Leonard. Brandon Ingram as the centerpiece in that one. NBA gets a LA-Bay Area rivalry. Houston in the wing. Boston-Philadelphia rivalry in the east renewed. Cards fall right - LA/Boston Finals once again. |

Probably a combination of all of those things. Whatever his reasons, he left a great chance for more rings with Lebron. If "being #1" is more important to him than that, he's a selfish idiot. Which I'm not ruling out either. Nobody is gonna dethrone Golden State by themselves.

CP3 and LeBron will end up together... in either Houston or with the Lakers.
They are close friends and LeBron wants to play with a top flight point guard again like he did with Kyrie. |

Well we already know he's an idiot. Not a huge jump to conclude he's selfish either. |

Can't wait to see who will win the NBA championship next year. Golden State again or whatever super team Lebron forms.

The premise of that statement is incorrect when you consider that LeBron in no way wanted GM David Griffin fired last summer, and yet Dan Gilbert stupidly fired him (or "did not renew his contract") anyway.

Could OKC shit-can Carmelo Anthony and draw Lebron there to play with Westbrook and Paul George?

LeBron was smart with his team construction. He made the team weak enough that if they won, he would earn all the accolades and if they lose, he would still be seen as a hero for carrying the team so far. And the media helped with the narrative.

LeBroom's need to be superstar, coach, GM, President and local deity of whatever franchise he's a part of has reduced his career to a bunch of statistical garbage instead of championships. He's done winning titles, because his physical decline is about to hit, and then his ball-hogging is going to be a lot less effective. |

His physical decline hit about four years ago now. He's still the best player in the league by leaps and miles because his mind/mentality/aptitude for the game is better than it has ever been. |

LeBron only left for Miami because of his connections with Wade and Miamis good front office. Similar situation in Houston.
