LeBron leaving Cleveland would be best for the NBA

LeBron and the Cavs will try to claw back from a 0-2 deficit against the Warriors, but Colin thinks the Cavs getting swept would guarantee him switching teams and would be best for the NBA.

Colin thinks LeBron’s 3-6 Finals record is a significant blemish on his career, and staying in Cleveland only guarantees more Finals losses, and leaves the Warriors unchallenged. James leaving to join a contender would be a massive story line for the coming season, but more importantly create a real challenge to Golden State if he formed another super team.

 

Houston shouldn’t sign Chris Paul to a max deal

Houston was on the verge of an NBA Finals berth before Chris Paul went down with a hamstring injury that caused him to miss Games 6 and 7 of the Western Conference Finals. Recent reports state that Paul will be seeking a max deal in the offseason and, despite Paul’s postseason success, Colin thinks it would be a mistake for the Rockets to sign him to it.

Paul’s salary cap hit would make it nearly impossible to add a third superstar to the roster, and would leave them undermanned next year against the Warriors.  At 33 years old in his 14th season, signing Paul to a max deal would be a mistake.
