I would be surprised. I think the Lakers should have learned over the last couple years that what they need around Lebron is shooting and athleticism. LeBron is now the old slow vet, they don't need more of that. And, the Suns will likely be seeking what the Lakers got back in the Westbrook trade - multiple rotation players. So, probably not a match. I would expect them to work a deal getting end of the rotation guys from a cap strapped team like the Clippers and routing CP3 to a 3rd team with cap space like the Rockets.
They need to move CP3 and Ayton for some good wing players and a new starting PG. Trading for kd depleted their depth so they need to restock this summer to have one or two more runs at it while kd can still do something. I’m sure the new owner will be aggressive trying to retool the roster.
Maybe but Taking on Ayton who is a bit weak and passive Remember it will be a SIGN AND TRADE and Kyrie WANT HIS 50 MILLION!!! Which is why it was set up this way KYRIE 50 Mill = CPR 28.4 + Ayton 30 Probably some minor stuff from the Mavs . . . .JaVale McGee makes 5.4 .. . I think that covers the difference and Phoenix has a 4.9 mill Trade Exception But I think the Mavs will want even more . . . I know I would I'm handing Phoenix a Finals Run He wants a Quick Championship . .. he IMO is not much different than the New Owner of the Nets New Owners want to WIN NOW and everyone will tell him . .. KD + BOOKER + KYRIE = NBA CHAMPIONSHIP or at least the best chance quickly (I'm sure that is how Kyrie and KD sold it to him) Rocket River Tampering? ?? What Tampering/? ??
Don't even know why the Lakers would even entertain a CP3 trade. They were lucky to get some depth back from the Westbrook trade. It just sounds like LA = hot destination or there's someone who really wants to recreate the Nash/Kobe/Dwight team.
I think CP3 needs an entire team to just drag him to the finals because he’s never healthy when you really need him.
Cp3 is good for the regular season and then you bench him once playoff starts cuz he starts choking like clockwork. @LosPollosHermanos used to make a thread every year trying to clown me every time Suns got a high seed and always ended up with egg on his face every time Cp3 chokes. What say you WB outperformed CP3 yet again when it matters most? Lmao.
CP3 is a massive choker who gets protected by the media Harden got carried by the bench in game 6 against the Clippers, but who was on the court blowing a big lead at home and getting his ass handed to him by Jason Terry, Brewer, and Josh Smith? Chris Paul
He won a game with role players vs a team with KD, Cp3, Book and Ayton. What has Cliff Paul done in the playoffs except lose after getting 2-0?
Please boys; Some random kelly iko-laundered throwaway line about how "the rockets would be intrested in chris paul" is basically planted there to remind people that the Rockets still actually exist before they subside back into the niche of irrelevance they currently occupy in the league pecking order.
Good lord. If that's the worst your kid ever hears at school, they're in the 0.01% of pampered kids / private schools. Never mind that what the boy said was 100% a valid prediction, LOL.
I don't know why he'd stay here. Dumped his banana boat bestie in melo. Trashed his contract extension while making a disastrously slanted trade that undervalued him. Great vibes and one that would make ferntits overpay only to b**** sooner or later.
Paul to Lakers or Clippers. He’s not moving his family to a city he doesn’t own a home in & LA is his main home.
