Like Fultz/Harris for one of them works, but I don't see the appeal in flipping expirings for expirings for those teams. Maybe the Magic kick in a second round pick or something.
I doubt if that rumor is even true.CocoaFan wrote:Knightro wrote:It's hard to find a workable deal for Lowry or Paul.

I wouldn't really want either of them, but it's good news that the FO is actually interested in something. I could see them making no trades and Fultz and Harris just expiring or us trying to sign Fultz to an extension in the summer.

There’s no real scenario where I’m interested in paying a 39 year old $30M next season.
So what are we really doing? Trading for CP3 for the remaining 35 whatever games left this year and the playoffs?
I would only give up expiring contracts for that. Nothing more.

How much of next year’s deal is guaranteed? I would give up a 2nd rd pick to have him for just the rest of this season

Yeah, CP is still a high performing player and a definite locker room guy. I'd be thrilled to get him.ibraheim718 wrote:thelead wrote:Knightro wrote:Here’s my thought on Chris Paul…

You can't put a price on the experience and skill Chris Paul brings. If you could hand pick a mentor or a coach he would be it. He's arguably a top 5 PG all time.
A healthy Chris Paul could lead this team to a conference finals appearance. Every player would get behind him. CP3 would unlock a lot of things.
Just give them a couple of expiring contracts and a couple of 2nd rounders.

Maybe if this was Chris Paul of 2014 not 2024, conference finals? Ain't no way boy, ain't no way....eyriq wrote:Yeah, CP is still a high performing player and a definite locker room guy.

Anyone who thinks CP3 is going to play heavy minutes in Orlando is sadly mistaken!
His real value is teaching and molding Anthony Black into a more complete point guard!

I think that whole molding and showing our young guys how to play is so overrated. I don’t think that crap happens as often as people think, least of all for 35 games. If our big trade target is 40 year old CP3 or fat Kyle Lowery I’m going to be pissed.
