The year he got Paul is the year we were that close to a championship. Then Paul declined big time.
I do agree with your second part though, that legit role players like Wes and Korver don't want to play with him because of his style.
CP3 ia proving that he has not declined big time. That is a false narrative you're pushing.
Say what? CP3 was a legit top 10 per minute player two years ago. This year he's in that 20-35 range. He's declined.
CP3 was scoreless and assist-less in the first half that Thunder game against the KAT-less wolves. Finished w/ 10 points on 5/15 shooting - 0/4 from 3PT. The “narrative pushing” is that every time he has a good game people say he’s still elite all the time, when he isn’t.
SGA and Schroeder have been doing most of the work for OKC this year, CP3 just getting credit. Not sure why cause Westbrook never got that type of credit the past two seasons when his scoring numbers dropped to let PG and others shine. It’s a double standard, but I guess it’s not surprising.
