Paul poll

Sun up: Phoenix wins, getting the star they've long coveted, a perfect fit for a team on the rise.
6
5%
Thunder rolls: OKC wins, getting out of a massive contract for flippable pieces and a future pick too
51
45%
Sunset flip: both teams win. Phoenix gets their "dollar", OKC gets some nice quarters...and save dollars.
56
50%
Beyond Thunderdome: both teams lose. Suns give up good pieces but take on a huge contract and only get to the middle; Thunder could have at least waited to see if more desperate offers rolled in.

Wow, and a pick too! (I even like Jerome, though his value here is minimal.)

Holy smoke. CP3 was one of the worst contracts a year ago and now he brings that much value back. I'd say OKC wins this, but hopefully Phoenix finally takes the next step.

This off-season just keeps getting better. Curious to see draft picks going to OKC. Presti continues to look like a genius:

Westbrook + George for: Rubio/Oubre/Jerome/Lecque/SGA/Gallinari/8 1sts/2 picks swap rights

OKC getting good ROI for Westbrook deal.

Can still make the playoffs if they dont go full tank mode.

Phx hoping what happened in the bubble was not a fluke. Making it into the platoffs would be a big step. Suns have more young talent than Thunder last year.

Presti has done an insane job of buying low and selling high. So impressed

Wow Presti is unreal. Works every team he trades with. Suns overpaid because they want that playoff spot bad but obviously CP3 should help them there.

Will be interesting to see what presti can flip rubio and oubre for.
