    Leverage to get whomever he doesn't like on the clippers off the team

    LA would have to get near the basket for once for that to even happen.

    A ton of players stay in Houston during the offseason. Have homes there, love the nightlife, tax situation and weather.

    Why would CP3 ask for LA to be traded?

    I read this as "CP3 uses leverage to get 5/210 deal with no trade clause"/

    I think CP3 wants to win, doesn't care about getting a max contract. I think he'll go to the Spurs. Parker and Manu retire.

    CP led the charge in the CBA negotiations to now allow super max deals for guys over 36. He isn't leaving money on the table this summer, especially when he himself fought for it.

    This all is a leverage ploy. Look for him to get a no-trade clause as well as a full max from the Clips.

    I'm thinking a trio with PG or Butler.
    Miami is a fun city and Pat is very slick.
