the thunder would have to cut a player to sign cp3 that is not happening

I didn’t know they’d have to cut them, yeah absolutely not then.

Am I the only one that gets the "punk" vibe when it comes to Chris Paul? Seems like that dude's act would get really old after a while.

It could go either way honestly. I thought he was absolutely amazing for OKC as a leader and veteran to the young guys. I think if the culture is right then he’s good because he knows how to play the game right and wants to win. Not a shocker that it didn’t work with an aging, selfish, lazy Harden. Then Kawhi who only wants to play 20 games a year while getting paid 30 million under the table along with a max contract.

Trae is back tonight per Shams

His name has been mentioned a lot as a trade candidate since they have arguably been better without him. It’s too bad he has never really improved his defense or become a more efficient shooter. Those two things have obviously held him back from being a truly elite player.

In their last game, The Lakers beat The Jazz, but gave up 135 points defensively. They are at 19-7 right now, and much improved over last year, but they are NOT good on defense.

Does anyone know what is going on with Buddy Hield? I realize he has been inconsistent this year, but he's not THAT BAD. The past few games, he either hasn't played or is getting a few mop-up minutes. I never thought of him as getting a "DNP - Coaches Decision". He's playing for a great coach, but wondering if it's best for both parties for him to be traded.

Luka, AR and the hilarious bromance fueling the Lakers' wild start

The success and virality of this duo is doing more than quiet the typical noise around the Lakers. It also might transition the franchise fully into their post-LeBron era.

Dang it. He is having such a great season and was on track for an All Star appearance. This obviously will make that a lot tougher.

They seem to really like playing together. I also credit Lebron for letting them take the lead. They gotta shore up the perimeter defense though. Smart and Vando are the only two who consistently give max effort on defense. OKC and Houston spent the entire game hunting for Luka to put him the pick & roll action. Whoever he was guarding just drove by him all the way to the rim because we have no rim protection, and LBJ has become a horrible help defender(mostly lack of effort).
