    rumors abound that Milwaukee will make a move to team up CP3 with Giannis and Khris Middleton

    lol, donovan and bud were co-coaches of the year for the coaches association and might both be gone before the next season. 2018 was casey. governor's of illinois have better future prospects.

    You joke, but imagine inheriting a team with Durant, Westbrook, Ibaka and Steven Adams...

    ...and then ending it with your best players being Adams, old CP3, inexperienced SGA and Gallinari.

    I’ve always been curious if he felt like he had to bide his time in the NBA for a few years more than he wanted because of his initial Orlando flip flop.

    I don’t know who LegionHoops is on twitter but reporting Knicks will make significant trade offer for CP3.

    if Presti trades CP3 and gets back solid assets (draft capital, young players) he’ll be running laps around DM/Hou at that point.

    Sounds like a failed French car in the 70s to compete with one from Yugoslavia. Hopefully same result for Thunder.

    This increases the likelihood of cp3 being on the move with okc going further in on their future and developing their young guys
