With Winslow becoming more of a playmaker, how would you fit him in with a Butler/Paul team without someone being marginalized? (That's mostly why I did the swap)
If he's more of a playmaker now, why do we need to put so much money into Paul?
If the Warriors have a shooter like DeAngelo Russell, why do they put so much money into Steph Curry?
Everyone knows I think that Chris Paul is a big injury risk, a potential locker room problem on the wrong team, and overpaid. However, he is still one of the best facilitators in the entire NBA. I am happy to see Winslow facilitate, and you want that talented player on the floor, but is he even an above average facilitator as a PG?
I think Paul greatly increases the Heat’s chances for success the next two years. If they can trade two years of bad, unproductive salary, for three years of Paul’s bad PRODUCTIVE salary, I like it for the Heat. I don’t know if Winslow is the key to a fair trade, or whether the direction would work for a Winslow/Culver swap. However, setting the Winslow part aside, if I was the Heat, I’d certainly consider raising the team’s ceiling if it meant I got out of the bad two year deals,
I completely disagree. I think he shortens our window to this year and then stifles us for two more years. I don't want any part of him but I would certainly demand compensation for taking him. I wouldn't touch him without it...
