So, trading Fultz and Harris for CP3 would be huge improvement for this season. We probably would cut him in offseason due to 30M price tag for next season that is non-guaranteed.

What do we think the price would be for Wiggins?

CP3, yeah, depending on the guarantees on next years contract. Wiggins? No thank you.

I want a vet point guard or Andrew Nembhart from the Pacers.

Go Magic, Go Dwight, Go Vuc, Go Paolo, Go Keegan :)

Nembhart is great and going nowhere for a few years while the Pacers have him on a rookie contract. They’ll likely have to trade him in a few years when someone is willing to pay him starting PG money though.

I don't mind either as well, but unless the asking price is free.

They don't want our expiring without picks. IMHO.

Anything we could offer that isn't Goga / WCJ makes them worse.

Wiggins definitely not.

Fultz and Harris for Paul I would do, but I don't see why GSW would do expiring contracts for an expiring contract.

CP3 is fully unguaranteed for next year. So he's a giant expiring contract if the team acquiring him wants him to be.

Paul would be great for us if we can swap our expirings (I’m lumping the Isaac deal in there too), but this makes little sense for GS unless Paul demands out or they want him off the team. Crazier things have happened though.

Harris is a 3&D guard for them, Warriors defense is not what it was. They will not get any picks for expiring contract - unless it is packaged with a big bad contract. What they look for probably is wing improvement. They might get LaVine.

If the price is only G-Harris, Fultz, Okeke, the Denver 1st and a protected Magic first, sure. Why not.

CP3 is often injured, especially at times when it counts.

Consider that.

So you’re saying he’s the perfect candidate? Strap in!!!!

I could see the value of trying to bring Paul in for the last half of the season. He’d become an even better trade chip come draft night when his expiring contract will be at full value. Would depend on the cost and his attitude to joining a young team again.
