Danny needs to push hard into pursuing CP3

[rasta1]

We need Doc to go talk to Chris Paul...I feel like Doc is the coach that Paul may have always wanted. It's the best option we have. We'd then have to do a S&T in this situation. But Chris paul can really flourish under Doc like Rondo has, and I'm sure he wants to play for Doc (especially if those Steven A Smith rumors has any indication of thing despite how ridiculous they may be)

It's a pipe dream, but why not give it a shot?

[CelticsFan9]

Getting Paul here would require having a championship-caliber team in place.  We have pieces in Rondo, Pierce, KG, Green, Bradley, and Sully, but I don't think we could afford Paul and keep those players.

So while I'm sure Paul would love Doc as a coach, the supporting cast wouldn't be all that great.

[Moranis]

Chris Paul didn't want to come here a couple of years ago.  He certainly isn't going to come here now.

[WeMadeIt17]

I think Danny should try at the least. I mean offer up Rondo picks and even AB and try and get him. I mean Chris Paul always said he wanted to play with KG why not get him a ring on the way out. lol I know hopes are way up cause it'll never happen but exhaust every avenue.

[CelticG1]

Probably has a better chance of winning with celts than the clips.

Chris Paul is a diva, overrated fraud who quits on franchises and wouldn't come to ours based off weather....no thanks, he can go lose in the first and second round for the rest of his career elsewhere.

^, who knows what will happen if he comes to the Celtics, he may bolt as soon as KG retires or even cry about wanting a trade...

I don't want that type of player on my team. I'd rather much keep Rondo

And some of the same things people complain about Rondo, they'll complain about with CP3, except his will come with a higher price tag.

[D.o.s.]

Why bother? We already have a 27 year old playoffs-tested PG with a knee injury in his past who can't carry his team to the Finals.


Another way to look at it--if you wanted to upgrade this team to contend for a championship, what position would you look to?

Probably not the point.

Correction:

Who has carried his team to the Finals.

[D.o.s.]

No.

He didn't do it in 2007. He didn't do it in 2010. We have never made the Finals with Rondo as our best player.

[KCattheStripe]

No.

He didn't do it in 2007. He didn't do it in 2010. We have never made the Finals with Rondo as our best player.

To paraphrase Hawkeye, " You and I remember 2010 very differently."

[lightspeed5]

No.

He didn't do it in 2007. He didn't do it in 2010. We have never made the Finals with Rondo as our best player.

are you joking about 2010? that was rondo's legendary year. he's the reason we came back against the cavs, and he's the reason we destroyed the magic. this truly was one of not just the best pg playoff performances ever but an all around greatest playoff performances

Danny should not and just push on making sure we pick a gem of a rookie at #16 instead of worrying about getting a PG when we already have one.

Chris Paul doesnt want to be here, and that's fine by me. I don't want an elite talent that can't win anyway.

[LEHGOCELTICS]

This is beyond idiotic to me. We already have an all-star caliber PG, our most solid position our of our starting five. And you want to flip assets to replace that position? Doesn't make any sense.
