And even then, they'd still have to attach picks to make the trade. They are not bringing him back as they need to trim salary and every team knows that. If they trade him without having to give up any first round picks in the deal, then the other team should fire their entire front office management.

They are officially in rebuild mode.
Presti ain't giving up no picks.

especially not for Eric Bledsoe, that's all i'm telling you. :manny:

That's fine. Then they better be prepared to keep him on the team for the remainder of his deal. No team will/should take that contract without OKC attaching any picks for the deal. Especially with the dollar amount his carries when cap space is about to be hard pressed to come by.

I understand Bledsoe has been trash the last 3 years in the playoffs but if your in rebuild mode I’d take him we’re talking about arguably the best defensive PG the last two years who’s still very solid during the season a pick or two wouldn’t be bad to get CP off your hands for Bledsoe

I don’t think so CP getting old that’s something that can’t be ignored

It's more so the dollar amount of his contract and the fact that he is going to opt in to the last year of the deal at $47 million. It's essentially the same reason Kevin Love is still in Cleveland as they don't want to part with the sweetners that it'd take to move the contract.

If Minnesota had to give up a first to help move Wiggins then why shouldn't OKC have to part with one to move Paul as well?

CP on the Bucks is a chip appearance.

Over Durant and the boys in Brooklyn? I don’t think so
The Bucks lack a floor general, perimeter threat, and a clutch killer. We get all of that in one player with CP, the last piece.
Now, we have no idea how the Nets will gel. Who says KD and Ky will play great off each other? What about the log jam at guard? What about the inexperienced head coach? This team has a lot of “what if’s”, meanwhile the Bucks has an “all we need” factor, and all they need is CP. We don’t know about the Nets.

Man cmon now yes them having to gel plays a part but on paper the Bucks still won’t have enough for Brooklyn if they get rid of Bledsoe and acquire CP with what they got.

It’s not about whats on paper, it’s about a back to back 60 win team getting CP vs. the what’s on paper Nets. We have more of an idea what the Bucks would be like, but we have NO idea about the Nets.

Man hell Naw :russ: the Bucks would be taking a step back defensively getting rid of Bledsoe as well. CP won’t be enough to get the Bucks over the hump they’d have to add CP and someone else,we know what the Nets can do without a star,Deangelo Russell led them to the playoffs as the #1 and he isn’t a star and the Nets made it to the playoffs again without any star at all,now throw in KD and Kyrie with Dinwiddie and a healthy Levert with the rest of they pieces you got the best team in the East
