This is such a Morey move though. He thinks he just outsmarted and out-maneuvered the whole league. I don’t think this move will pan out for them at all.

That's essentially what he thinks whenever he does anything ordinary like flushing a turd down the toilet or getting out of bed

you act like westbrook is horrible..he needs to chill on the triple double and he is clearly a number two guy..unfortunately so way PG13
and the westbrook durant thing was successful..

Russ is who he is. He isn’t going to change.

russ better change..better recognize

I guess it is possible that no one in the NBA wins 50 games this year, but I would be shocked. Houston will finish no higher than 4th in the West and will be drop kicked out of the 1st round in 6 games or less by LAL, LAC, Denver, Utah, SA, Portland or whoever gets to dare Russ to take his 20+ shots a game while shooting under 40% from the field and not playing defense. Capela is a stud, but he can't defend 1 on 5.

Sure is. I've probably posted that gif on the Suns board over 100 times over the last few seasons

Do Oklahoma City fans think Prestie would trade CP3 + Adams for experings?

Would OKC fans be in favor of that move?

How many teams have like $55m in expirings? lol

Regarding the rumors of CP3 to Miami, Please do not send him our way. Wait till Dec 15 and send him to Lakers for all those 1 year contracts that can't be moved until then. You get out of Salary cap hell, you ruin the Lakers and you save us (Heat) all in one shot.

I still agree with the broader point you're making about him and HOF.

How long of a list do you want? Miami, Detroit, Minny, Orlando, Phoenix, Chicago, Washington and as really long shots I could see NOLA, Dallas and Sacramento trying to get in there.

I say call everyone and used the worst first round pick if the other team included better first round picks or a prospect if miami give us herro for other team worst draft that we own and we get out of cp3 lets take it , detroit a reunion with blake lob city 2.0 kennard or sekou, orlando issac or gordon, suns tyler johnson, baynes and mikal bridge ,

Ive been a fan for a long time..but his act started to wear thin this year..and to be honest get a little old...he just clearly needs to rethink some things..I believe my feelings are quite universal..I hope he gets it..like I said..Ive been a huge fan

I'm not sure Presti isn't thinking about holding CP3 this season. Just imagine if OKC gets to the 2nd round next year behind CP3 and Gallinari while Houston misses the playoffs. How much can you get for CP3 next off-season? This trade adds a massive complication to my thinking. On the one hand, keeping CP3 gives you a strong chance of making the playoffs and giving up your pick to Philly and that is not ideal in a rebuild. However, you still have Denver's first and if CP3 rebounds his perceived value you have a huge asset to move that could yield a top 10 pick in the draft and more.

If CP3 is too injured or doesn't lead you to the playoffs you probably don't hurt his value and you keep your pick. Gallinari is coming off your books, assuming you don't trade him, but you might be able to S&T him if you make a playoff run. You are only $3M in the tax right now. A CP3-SGA combo can work because they can both play off the ball, can both shoot and can both defend. CP3-SGA is like the anti-Russ/Reggie combo. You can stretch Roberson and get out of the tax or wait and get out during the season. See what happens and if needed make your moves during the season. If CP3 can push Donovan into a real offense then OKC could have another playoff run before complete commitment to a rebuild next off-season.
