Let's retire Chris Paul's jersey when the Suns get a chance. It will be interesting to see where he goes.

Gotta love the Stephen A. Smith take on Chris Paul being sent home by the Clippers. :)

Idk who to believe but both parties can be volatile.

He had a semi-ugly departure from here but he didn't throw the organization under the bus and stood on his business. He didn't leave GS or SA with any negativity either. All that makes me believe the CP3 he was here is who he still is and not the punkish agitator he was earlier in his career.

I always get concerned when I hear Steven A. Smith spit facts. He's 1000% right.

Chris Paul might be the only thing holding the Clippers together but I have a lot of respect for head coach Tyronn Lue.

The Warriors will get De'Anthony Melton back. This should help.

Same. He's a top tier coach but if he's clashed this badly with CP3 there are clearly some locker room and management issues in LA. The Kawhi drama speaks to the management issues that exist. I would be surprised if Lue stay there for much longer.

Yeah, changes need to be made with the Clippers. The star strategy didn't work.

I'm not sure about the contract situation with Ty Lue, but a lot of teams would be happy to have him as their head coach.

I've heard this song before. My guess is Giannis will be traded this time around.

It seems age catches up with players suddenly. They can stretch it out and make it work longer, like with LeBron. But when it breaks, it breaks. Sometimes it is an injury they just cant fully recover from, like Kobe with the achilles, or its just the speed drops off suddenly. I think the work that it takes to keep their bodies working just becomes overwhelming.

It has happened with LeBron, and it will with KD soon as well.
Like when CP3 had his birthday during the finals...

What a debacle that guy has become. And I SO wanted him on the Suns when he first entered the league.

Zion and Ja Morant were popular choices among NBA fans.

Cam Johnson was a solid pick in the 2019 draft.

This is the worst trade I have ever seen posted regarding the Suns.

xc_hide_links_from_guests_guests_error_hide_media
LOL that is the worst I've ever seen

KAT, Kuzma and someone named Pacome Dadiet for Mark Williams, Dillon Brooks, Jalen Green, Grayson Allen and at least a 2nd rounder I'd guess.
