    First rounders are trash, but Chris Paul is still legit. No I would not.

    we should do it, but CP3 + 4 picks wont get you a super star like PG/AD, more likely 1-2 very good role players with not so good contracts.
    here's a few scenarios i'll do:

    CP3 + 4 1st picks for
    a.) Teague + Covington + Dieng
    b.) Dragic + Winslow + Leonard
    c.) LaVine + Porter Jr.

    A) Ibaka + Vanvleet
    B) McCollum, Zach Collins
    C) Brown, Hayward, Third team takes Paul.

    New nba playing style - 2 point guards - one handle ball another shoot ball.

    Curry/Russell

    This clippers team looks a hell of a lot better than the nets team which was full of past their prime players.

    if they’re in their prime but worse than Harden, they don’t want to be a #2 and would rather be the lead dog on a mediocre team like Jimmy Butler...if they are on Harden’s level, they don’t want to be in Houston

    we keep getting the fading/declining star like clown Dwight and aging CP0

    if Harden was in LA or NY, we’d see just how much “players don’t want to play with him”...all these stars just want to be in LA, Miami, NY, etc

    Morey also doesn’t have the anywhere near the cache of a Jerry West or Pat Riley...I see the way so many players talk about analytics with distaste, and that’s pretty much what Morey is known for...they respect basketball guys, not analytics nerd Morey

    Like almost all Morey trades we have to give up picks just get rid of his wonderful acquisition. Pathetic, but I would give up 2 first rounders for someone to take Paul’s contract off the books.
