It's ignored because he played 40 minutes a game to get 19 & 9 and shot the ball better than he ever has in his life. And he turned the ball over 4 times a game while doing it. He never came close to this kind of production in Indiana.Originally Posted by mgrand15
I think its a lot closer than people think. CP3's stats are way better because he's played in a system where he literally drives everything. It's a PG system. I don't know why everyone ignored the fact that Darren Collison stepped in and averaged almost 20 and 10 after CP went down his rookie year. Deron's been in the opposite situation playing in Utah. There's a lot of ball movement, he comes off screens, he didn't handle the ball 90% of the time. As a Net, he's gotten the chance to completely run the team and his stats jumped way up. His scoring was down because of his injured wrist (FG% was way down, 27% from 3) but his assists were way up (12.8 apg with a weak cast). I think it's a coin flip though, I'm not saying Deron's better.
Chris Paul Career USG%: 23.8
Deron Williams Career USG%: 23.3
I'd say they had the ball the same amount.

How serious are his "back issues?"

Nah, imo Deron is just more of a scorer than a pure pg and Sloane altered his offense to compliment that. If Deron was as good of a pg as CP3, he'd at least surpass him in the assist category. Paul wasn't simply just a pure pg that made his team better but then he put that team on his back and did the bulk of the scoring when needed as well. Yes, Deron's wrist injury plays a part as far as stats but come playoff time if someone is saying he's better than CP3 then Deron definitely should've done better with the team around him.Originally Posted by mgrand15

I love what David Stern did. He said no to a pretty damn good package in the Lakers/Rockets trade, waited until something much better came along, and held his ground until the Clippers said yes to it. More owners need to do this. Just because you're getting a very good deal, it doesn't mean there aren't better ones out there.

Could he be saying that so non-contenders don't bid on him?
Edit: .....Guess not.

Because Mike Bibby is currently the Knicks backup PG..I've never seen you play basketball in my life and I'd feel more comfortable with you as the Knicks backup PG than I am with Mike Bibby

As a Laker fan I can't even help but laugh at how this whole thing played out. I actually kind of want the Clippers to be good, as it makes for a better rivalry, but I don't see why they did this deal unless they know he's going to re-sign. That said, $tern got NO a hell of a deal. Now watch him rig the draft so NO gets the top 2 picks next year.
Mitch just needs to find a backup big and by some miracle a starting PG and we'll be fine. Probably not better than Dallas and OKC, but I still think we can contend in the West.

If that bulging disc problem is fake and just a ploy so teams won't bid on him that's a smart move better players should be using.
I wish the Knicks could sure up our back court with a guy like O.J.

"As part of the deal, Paul has agreed to not opt out of his contract after this season â allowing the Clippers to keep him at least through the 2013-14 season."

Only thing that would make it funnier is if a random player, or Chris Paul, tweeted him "LOL."
