2019-20 Around the NBA: Archived

I guess it's fair to say, OKC is legit.  I didn't see this coming either.  Also, the Spurs aren't dead yet either, which is remarkable.  They still have a chance for a 23rd straight playoff appearance.

23?  Holy wow that is amazing stat. TWolves almost exactly opposite too.

As for SGA, I never saw much of him last year so had no idea the hops he has.  CP seems to be having fun maybe not being in that Houston pressure cooker (where he got blame but not glory) was good for him.  Him and Harden did not get along and it seems that stunted his game and attitude.  I fully expected him to be a trouble maker here.

My burning question is, what will Presti do?

1.  Sit tight and play out string
2.  Trade to improve now
3.  Trade to improve later

With SGA being a PG, I can't see the reason to not trade CP3. The longer you keep him, the bigger a hindrance that contract is gonna be compared to the oncourt play. His value to a team has been built up to a great level at this point. Not sure why it is in question.

You seem to imply I am talking only about CP.  Gallo/Adams/Dennis have all been mentioned as trade bait.  Lose any one of them and we may not make a seed.  Its understood CP should go if offer comes but I don’t see anyone biting that apple.  He has 2.5 yrs left so really 1.5 usable time.  Due to fast maturation of SGA, Sam could be a buyer.  
I’d love to get off CPs contract just don’t see a buyer.  So why then trade the others when CP gives you a chance to win.  To me CP is the key.  If he stays then keep others.
