Bill Simmons is saying don’t be surprised if Lebron and Draymond end up in Dallas next year
Interesting. But unless they are signing for the vet min, Kyrie will be gone then.

I actually think Draymond would help them more than Lebron the way Luka dominates the ball.

Simmons responded on Twitter to that NBA Central post and said it wasn’t true. But yeah he says some off the wall stuff every now and again.

I think Kyrie is a Suns player next year along with our new head coach Jason Kidd

You’re nuts. There is no chance Kidd works for this franchise again.

Kyrie might happen though… I’d be completely disgusted, but I can see the possibility. It would cost us Ayton

He’s a free agent I think he just takes Paul’s money.

CP3 is good as gone IMO

I'm split down the middle on Kyrie I really want him, but there's no way I want him.
Thinking about it makes me really happy and pissed off.

Anyway I just stopped by to say LMAO Dallas
and HELL no to Kidd as Coach :p

Kyrie for as talented as he is….and he might have the most complete offensive bag of anyone in the league…he’s a headcase.

Do I truly think he’s anti-Semitic…no. However, it feels like Kyrie wants to be a martyr but no one knows what he’s dying for. He tries to be too deep and then doesn’t expand upon his thoughts.

P.S. If anyone on this board is Jewish, I’m by no means defending the post he put out, just that idk if Kyrie really believes everything from that documentary.

We can't just give Paul's money to Kyrie. Only way we can get Kyrie is a sign and trade and Ayton is the only moveable asset on the roster.

I also doubt that Durant ever... ever... wants Kyrie as a teammate again.

Not that I would do it, but could the Suns trade Paul and Shamet for Kyrie?

Well from reports they both wanted to come to the Suns together. I think fans want players to hate eachother more than players do

Draymond is washed

People around here have said CP3 is "washed". And see what he did last night?

Maybe on Draymond, but he sure can give you 15 minutes a night, maybe more in the playoffs, getting the other team pissed off, getting in their heads, and racking rebounds and good D along the way.

I am not saying he hates him, he can still like him as a person and be aware that Kyrie is not reliable.

And, again, the only way we could get Kyrie on the roster is to give Dallas Ayton in a sign and trade. It would be idiotic.

They could, but why would Dallas do that?

The Mavs would be better off losing Kyrie for nothing and gaining the cap space.

They've wasted an insane amount of money on bad players. Their cap situation is a joke. They owe McGee 14 million, he doesn't even see the court, would probably get a minimum contract as a free agent... and he is probably only their 3rd worst contract.

Someone like FVV might be a safer bet. There's no doubt that Kyrie is a beast and on paper it would look good.
But Dallas thought the same thing.

I'd be fine with VanVleet but the Suns really don't have any assets. 1st round picks, to sweeten the deal.

As I just mentioned on trading for VanVleet, why would the Mavericks do it. That's why I put the question mark.

The salaries worked. That is about it.

CP3 is indeed washed.

I just laugh at these post every time he has a good game it’s like see he’s not washed but these “good games” were his average games two years ago

He had 19/6 on 7/15 shooting and 1/5 from 3, that’s not even an average CP3 game from his prime now

His clutch stats suggest he’s damn near unplayable late in close games. Yes he’s washed

We know Paul's career stats will decline with age, but I don't see a "washed" player on the court.

I honestly don’t know what it’s gonna take. He’s unplayable in close games. He can’t even beat a full court press anymore but hey the heart wants what the heart wants

Is this the same Chris Paul that is averaging almost 14 points and 9 assists this season?

Did you see Paul's Alley Oop pass to Ayton late in the Timberwolves game last night?
