They're probably targeting FVV.

Here it is.

Crazy. Suns the biggest “what have you done for me lately?” team. CP and Monty come in and get them a finals appearance, top regular season rankings, and lost to the eventual finalists after Paul got hurt.

Regardless…. STRAP IN!

If there's a vet we could use.... he'd be one.

Maybe a little segway to Head Coach action here similar to JKidd?

I'd rather give him 3 years at $60m than GTJ.

I remember Chris Paul's mom was in town, and we speculated they she wanted Paul to play here. We also had a big DLo thread, and he's available, too.

Agreed. I'll pass.

He's as savvy as they come but his attitude is poor.

There's worse ways to spend our money....just have to place a claim. 1 year $30M the following year is fully non-guaranteed.

Saves our cap space for a better free agent class in 2024.

His rebirth on OKC was an amazing story...I don't see him wanting a repeat. He'll go LAL or LAC, etc...and probably should.

If we claim him off waivers, does he have a choice?

If he’s waived doesn’t he get the vets minimum?

CP3 isn't coming here. It's either Clippers, Lakers, Bucks, or Nets
