RE: OFFSEASON: Mavs Trade (Nov 16?) & FA (Nov 20) + Salary Chart | $109.1M cap - KillerLeft - 11-11-2020 (11-11-2020, 09:55 PM)ItsGoTime Wrote: Sure, the starting 5 looks pretty good on paper, and CP3 MIGHT whip them in shape. On the other hand, they've been doing things their way for years and maybe CP3's grandpa message doesn't get through. The other thing is their depth is pretty poor as well on top of CP3 AND Booker's injury history. When 1 or both of them go down, that will trigger the free fall down the standings. So, the injury points are valid, and it's definitely not a move with much of a look to the future, that's for sure. But, I honestly think you're underrating both Paul's impact on the court and the way he's revered by the younger generation of players. I think he's one of the most underrated players of all time, personally.

I mean, what he did in OKC (a truly garbage team) last year was fairly undeniable, nay? You give him the ball, Booker and Ayton? I think Suns fans have a right to be pretty excited, honestly.

That team was ready to hear what he had to say cause they just spent years with the volatile RW. Does he get in the young guy's faces too much where the message starts getting rolled eyes much like Butler in Min? I think there's a decent chance of that too. I don't think it's as slam dunk as is being talked about is what I'm saying. It very well could turn out like OKC with an arguably better supporting cast, but I don't think it's a forgone conclusion.

It very well could turn out like OKC with an arguably better supporting cast, but I don't think it's a forgone conclusion. Well, I'll agree there. Nothing in pro sports is a forgone conclusion. I suppose that's a big part of why we like this stuff. I think, personally, the Suns pulling this off would inject some life into their franchise in a very positive way, even if it doesn't reach complete fruition on court. They'd be very relevant for the next two years, at least. RE: OFFSEASON: Mavs Trade (Nov 16?) & FA (Nov 20) + Salary Chart | $109.1M cap - ItsGoTime - 11-11-2020 The other thing is CP3 had just been traded away from 2 teams that he wore out his welcome. Maybe that's why he was on his best behavior there. Now the Suns are wanting him and paying a price for him, does he turn back to the guy who wore out his welcome on the 2 previous teams?

Sure CP3 could be an even bigger injection, possibly until the sheen wears off and he's sitting on the bench in street clothes barking out orders to his teammates.

I don't think that phenomenon (which I agree is the knock on him) happens in year 1. I think he's like a coach on the floor who holds everyone to maximum accountability, and that it wears on folks over the course of a few years. Like OKC, the Suns NEED it.

I see CP3's time in OKC as realistic expectations. He expected to compete for championships in his previous two shops, not so much once he got traded away.

That was 100% about Butler's money, as was the situation in Philly. It's been hashed over by lots of talking heads. It was all obviously staged to try to get to a place that would pay him. Chris Paul is so many miles above that it's ridiculous. He's NBA royalty. No knock on Butler, I think he's a hell of a player.

Interesting. Well, the cost is the cost. We should find out what that is soon enough! ARE YOU PREPARED, SIR? |
