What part of #ripcity did you not understand?RaceBannon said:Paul is a loser but "blowing up" the Clippers is going to mean instead of losing in the first round you don't make the playoffs.
Not sure why this is always the alleged answer. Paul has had plenty of good team mates and he still sucks and he still threw away the best chance for the Finals all by himself with the Clips
And the NO team was a GOOD basketball team as well
Being in the lottery is infinitely better than being in first round exit hell
Winning always beats losing. -
I would rather know the team sucks than deal with false hope bullshit.RaceBannon said:

See 2008 Husky Football for details.
Edit: it's probably better to just hop bandwagons like @RaceBitchfork -
Philly is in year 6 of trying to get a couple of guys as shitty as Paul and Griffin

Clippers will only get worse as the years progress and their core ages. They just lost a 1st round series to the Jazz who have a much younger roster that will only improve from here... and there's a 0% chance they could beat the Warriors or Rockets within the next few years in the West.
Blow it the fuck up. -
You mean the team that went 21-45 the first year after losing him.RaceBannon said:Paul is a loser but "blowing up" the Clippers is going to mean instead of losing in the first round you don't make the playoffs.

When David West is the only other player you can name, you're not a good team.RaceBannon said:

Why do you hate Quincy Pointdexter?
2005–2011: Chris Paul era[edit]
In the subsequent draft, the Hornets used their first round pick to select point guard Chris Paul out of Wake Forest University.

Because of the catastrophic devastation brought by Hurricane Katrina upon the communities of southeastern Louisiana, the Hornets franchise temporarily relocated its base of operations to Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, in 2005–06 and 2006–07, posting records of 38–44 and 39–43 respectively.[13] During this time, the franchise was known as the New Orleans/Oklahoma City Hornets. In these two seasons, most home games were played at the Ford Center in Oklahoma City, while a few remained at New Orleans Arena. One year after the Hornets moved back to New Orleans permanently, the Seattle SuperSonics relocated to Oklahoma City and became the Thunder.
The Hornets franchise returned to New Orleans full-time for the 2007–08 season, with all 41 home games in the New Orleans Arena. The 2008 NBA All-Star Game and its accompanying festivities were awarded to New Orleans and a serious marketing campaign was commenced in February 2007. Healthier than previous seasons, the Hornets raced to a 29–12 record at the halfway mark, completing the regular season with a record of 56–26, making the season their most successful ever. The Hornets also won their first-ever division title, winning the Southwest Division. Having clinched the 2nd overall seed for the Western Conference in the 2008 playoffs, the Hornets beat the Dallas Mavericks in the first round but eventually lost to the defending-champion San Antonio Spurs in seven games in the conference semifinals.
In August 2008 the Hornets unveiled a modified logo and new uniforms with the colors of Creole blue, purple, and Mardi Gras gold. Pinstripes were also added to the uniforms. The Hornets also introduced a new gold alternate uniform in 2010 which was used mostly in games played on Saturday at home and on the road. The Hornets finished the 2008–09 season with a 49–33 record. Paired up with the Denver Nuggets in the first round of the 2009 NBA Playoffs, the Hornets were eliminated in five games. The Hornets started the 2009–10 season in a disappointing fashion, and head coach Byron Scott was fired after a 3–6 start to the season. General manager Jeff Bower took over the head coaching duties for the remainder of the season. The Hornets finished the season with a 37–45 record, finishing last in the Southwest division they had won only two seasons before. Jeff Bower later resigned as head coach, and Monty Williams was brought in as new head coach. The team finished the 2010–11 season with a 46–36 record and qualified for the 2011 NBA Playoffs, where they lost to the Lakers 4–2.
In December 2010 the NBA purchased the Hornets from George Shinn for an estimated $300 million.[14][15] -

Not blowing it up involves giving Chris Paul 200 million dollars and paying him 40 million when he's 37. So either way you're going to suck. Blow it up now and suck now or wait until you've got that contract around your neck and suck then. Either way it'll be interesting.
