Oh yes, now we have a firm grasp of the obvious!

Jesus if Cam is in the trade we’ve seriously messed up. Presti is wild for even asking, if true.

It’s cool. I appreciate the effort. I’m just getting annoyed with CPT Obvious tweeting the obvious.

Yeah, I'd lose my **** if we gave up Cam in this trade. We should be asking for a draft pick as CP can't reallistically go elsewhere, and they have tons, plush he is old and makes an impossible amount of money for the next 2 years for that (diminishing) production.

does leezus have inside info like that tho? I know he talks to players but I don't think even they know what's going on.

If JJ includes Cam or a pick, we have an issue in the GM seat.

Sure, if you have the cap space, or want to trade one of our core pieces. Otherwise it's probably small moves with MLE or not much money in FA. I know it could look similar with Rubio except that with him you could re-sign him with Bird rights (could with Paul too which we might do I guess).

Right now Booker is literally the only guy with a guaranteed contract for 22/23 season. Booker is also the only player left from the roster a week before the draft two years ago. Lots and lots can happen in two years.

Now I'd assume Cam is around and then you have Ayton and Bridges RFA holds.

But who knows maybe some of those guys dealt along with Pauls expiring for some random star who becomes available next year.

My point is a lot can happen and I'm just not going to fret about two off-seasons from now.

I want this trade, but if they traded Mikal or Cam I have a problem.

Chill, this is smokescreen and posturing time dont believe anything unless its shams or woj, maybe stein

sunsbg · Post #90 » by **sunsbg** » Sun Nov 15, 2020 9:26 pm

I see, sending out two starters for a soon to be retired player is not enough, they ask for another one.

There is zero reason to even include Cam or Mikal
if they ask for them - just hang up the damn phone

That guy who says that the trade is done insists that #10 is notin the deal. BUT he adds that probably Cam out.

Not sure if he is legit, but after this we will know it for sure.

Who. Is. This. Guy?

He's a bit tuned in on a lot of things with a lot of connections.

Sorry OKC, YOU SAID no players with contracts that extend past this season, and.....well.... BOTH Bridges and Johnson have 3 year deals. That was your words, not ours. Cant do it.

We have control of a number of guys, and I feel we were finally making steps in the right direction without anyone of the core being too old....guys who should all hit their prime in the next few years. Seems like you talked before about doing things before those extensions kick in. Sure, we could trade for a star, but that goes for any team. It's usually wishful thinking. Just hope if we do it's not giving up a bunch of those assets (Bridges/Cam/Ayton) for another 35 year old.

I was just going to say, if there are any serious discussions or differences on who might be included, you'd think someone really tuned in like Woj or Shams would say something.

I'll make this very clear if Cam Johnson is involved I'd be shocked per my conversations! This is officially a game of chicken between OKC and Phoenix! Which side will give in is totally unknown at this point..OKC absolutely wants Cam but up to now Phoenix is still resisting!

FLEX From Jersey (@cruzfe13) Tweeted:
I will say if Cam Johnson is involved it's because we have another player coming along with CP3. I'm not a fan of trading Cam Johnson but I can absolutely confirm he's what's holding this thing up! This is extremely Fluid right now! Nothing is Done!

Why would the Susn gives up on Cam - he is a second yhear player? So stupid
