Re: Thunder Offseason Thread
It feels like I have as many questions as I did before the trade.

CP3 is on the block. The same teams should have interest in him.

Wish he went to Miami but you guys didn't help
Sad for Westbrook. Don't like Houston but will root for them.
CP3 in the locker room is going to be an issue

Are we still over the tax? We can still grab some picks.

I can't imagine Russ's game in the Rockets system. They gonna get him shooting even more threes now?

Re: Thunder Offseason Thread
Anybody want a Chris Paul? He's still useful so hopefully we can salary dump him somewhere, and bonus is we don't have to worry about optics.
Also, I know everyone dislikes him now, but he does have a cool history here.

No, they're gonna give him actual Lanes to the basket.

I doubt CP ever puts on a Thunder uniform.

Just top 4 protected. I wonder what happens if it falls within the top 4, it might turn into 2nds which is brutal if it happens.

Re: Thunder Offseason Thread
I love Chris Paul the player but this just seems like a bad fit in the locker room. I kind of want Wiggins now.

I love this and I hope we keep him. This team is still very solid. CP3 is a smart player. Presti has done it again

If he's able to extract assets then it's not toxic.
