OKC lost what little leverage the moment Donovan left. You also seem to forget that a COVID-19 epidemic is going on and OKC is a small market team looking to cut payroll. That starts with CP3 and everyone knows it and sees the writing on the wall.

You also seem to forget that CP3 is opting in to that $47 million dollars on the last year of his deal which will make it hard for them to move him without attaching picks.
:mjlol: you dont make long term implication based on a few years of contract when you tanking . Cp3 deal isn't hurting anyone we don't even have much under contract if anything it helps us hit the salary floor. If teams want him they better pay up :mjlit:

It hurts the pockets of the owners who are already cash strapped being a small market team and even worse because of COVID-19. Why do you think teams trade players just to dodge the tax or lessen the hit?

it’s not actually 15 mill for a starting pg isn’t bad

I’d rather play bledsoe 15 mill than fvv 25
15 Million for arguably the best defensive PG in the league if he could just figure it out during playoff time that’s a steal

A Middleton-McCollum trade would benefit both sides.

Bucks get a combo guard than can dominate in halfcourt situations in McCollum.

Blazers plug in Middleton at the 3 and promote Trent/Simons to take over C.J.’s spot.


Have you looked at Middleton salary?

People just hard on Bledsoe now because of his playoff performances.

He’s arguably the best defensive PG in the league and is real solid during the regular season he’s far from the worst starting PG in the league

Do you not realize Chris Paul last year we have like 60mm under contract including him :mjlol: , we have no reason to move him we actually have to hit the salary floor. Unless the nba is contracting and we going back to 60-70mm salary caps no reason to move Chris Paul

Bledsoe is alright.

Not elite, but not awful. Turning 31 in December.
Probably worth a late 1st round pick to the right team.
