They only got to the Finals because every team they played was hurt.
And the minute the bucks got back to full strength, they dropped 4 straight games to them and CP3 disappeared
Also, they were up 2-zip on the clippers. Then CP3 comes back and the clips tie the series up.
Suns don’t have leverage like that in this situation.
You can’t really play hard ball as a franchise in today’s NBA, much less with a superstar, much less with the head of the PA.

Cp3 maybe can get that. Lowry is out of his goddamn mind seeking that.If Kyle Lowry is asking and looking for 100mil/3yr, then Chris Paul’s bytchass has every right to ask for the same, if not more
That being said, I wouldn’t want to pay him that kind of bread if I’m Phoenix. You’re essentially capped at max Booker, max Ayton, overpaid CP3, and maybe one other guy you’re overpaying to try and give that extra push
All this young depth with Cameron Johnson and Mikal Bridges with Crowder on a MLE and Payne on a 360 deal is out the window once you pay CP3 and give Ayton his extension
Ultimately it comes down to Ayton taking the leap offensively and becoming a go-to scorer/dominate two-way player.
Gotta become more Embiid/AD in the post, and less “Clint Capela with touch”.
If he can’t be that, then they ain’t closing the gap between them and the healthy versions of the West’s best...
...not without bringing another max level player to be *that* guy, which isn’t really CP3’s comfort zone.
Paul is an expensive luxury that doesn’t fit the need of a star co-scorer next to Booker
Lowry has a ring... cp3 doesn'tCp3 maybe can get that. Lowry is out of his goddamn mind seeking that.
No. Chris Paul at 36 pretty much gave you the last very good/elite year he had left. Chris Paul as made over 300 million dollars as a player up to this point. He should either take the 45 million dollar option OR take a 1 year max and go from there. But no he isn't worth anywhere near a 100 million dollar contract especially when the next couple of drafts are going to be flush with talent at the guard positions.

He can't leave any potential bread on the table with him being over the NBPA. People keep overlooking that major aspect when discussing him leaving money on the table.
