Chris Haynes tells story behind CP3 Leeway instagram post and incident with Jeff Van Gundy

1. What happened to our coaching staff being good in game adjusters? We adjusted (which was the right call) and the player gets punished for it?

2. cp did nothing wrong here

3. Ngl I thought Van Gundy was responsible for our pretty good defense last year but this year got me thinking he tricked me

4. CP3 DID NOTHING WRONG. HE’S LITERALLY TRYING TO ADJUST SOMETHING THAT WASN’T WORKING.

   SOFT.

5. Downvoted when I said that man needed a clipboard and not a jersey.

6. Wow obviously there are two sides to the story but jvg looks really weak here

7. Why the hell is CP making leeway public instead of handling it internally?

   It tells you everything.

8. His source

   Cp3

9. It is ironic to tell the franchise goat that he has no leeway here, especially if he was maybe right. The focus is gonna be on if JVG was out of line for that.

   But is it crazy to think that 40 year old CP3 being passive aggresive on instagram directed at our coaches is the opposite of healthy leadership?

10. We need Brian Shaw to be HC

11. Idk if it actually went down like this. For someone who has sat close enough to the bench to hear shit players say, IDT that’s how it was approached and likely that’s what CP3 is trying to whitewash – what JVG took issue with and not the actual call during the situation.

    But players hear what they want to hear. CP3 has a history of being uncoachable. KG and PP touched on it as well. Pierce has direct experience and he saw how cold CP3 could be.

    Idk, Haynes sounds like he’s trying to make this something it wasn’t.

12. You can’t be backing an assistant coach over our all time best player. I think you can say without that much hyperbole that if Chris Paul doesn’t sign this team might is playing in Seattle.

13. Well, maybe that explains why the defense looks so bad.

    Too many cooks in the kitchen.

    I am no fan on how they treated CP3, but I can see how he may have overstepped JVG.

    CP3 was a player, not a coach on this team. I think the proper approach would be to suggest the adjustment to JVG and leave it to JVG to decide if that’s something they want to do.

    CP3 is putting his teammate (Kawhi) in a position to choose a side.

    Having said that, we all knew this about CP3. Bringing him back was just a bad decision by L. Frank.

    Frank goes on and on about how he and CP3 had extensive conversations about his role before they signed him. Just ridiculous. Frank knew exactly how CP3 was. Frank didn’t learn from previous experience. Truly inept.

14. I think this shit is handled so poorly but all the grace is seeming to be given to cp3. there’s more than enough out there showing that he can be outright rough to deal with on his own. there’s no telling what he said or how he said it. man has had multiple people from former teammates to rivals to now coaches and referees all have issues with him.

    like I get the clippers hand in this situation, I don’t get how cp3 is just coming off as angelic as everyone is saying
