Ain't nobody buying out a 124m contract. And it would look horrible for the president of the players union to give up a significant amount of money. His best bet is a trade.
No non-contender is giving up any assets. Even contenders will want a couple 1sts for OKC. Can't see OKC doing that since they want their picks.

It worked in OKC with no problem. I don't know why people think cause they had solo success they can't go back to being part of a group. Ralph, Johnny and bobby did it with little issues.
It worked because Harden's role was radically different. Harden didn't start and was just asked to be the 6th man and score.

a ring will cement his legacy as one of the greatest pgs. If he doesnt win a ring his legacy will be mud.

If OKC offers him something like 60 mil he will take it and try to win a ring.

:mjlol:

There has never been a buy out that large for a reason.

:mjlol:at Paul giving up 64 million because of media narratives.

It’s impossible for the lakers to match up contracts to get cp3 right now

And I doubt the clippers or doc would want cp3 back.

I think he’s stuck in okc which is kind of hilarious cause I can’t see him giving up as much money in a buyout to make it worth it for okc

Only thing that makes sense is Wiggins for cp3

Would Riley trade for cp3?

I dont see CP3 being in OK.

Spurs??

I'mthrowing stuff out to stick, but I do believe in my heart he won't be a Thunder.

The stoop with dat dope fanny padding
Morey is an idiot. I know they wanted to get off CP3's deal (what, like two weeks after saying everything was fine? :mjlol:) but Westbrook and Harden is gonna be oil and water, especially since Russ can't shoot.

Can't wait to see this. :banderas:

Presti must have something in the works with Paul to somewhere else. No way he's staying in OKC.

Morey continues to be, by far, the most overrated general manager in basketball.
