Chris Paul to MEM to mentor Ja is very interesting for everyone except Chris Paul.

But if so, let’s S&T D Lo and Beasley in a red hot second.

Don't like the guy and he looks like he's about done but I'd be okay if he took a vet min.

I'm still scarred from our terrible old team in 22, I want no parts of Paul at this point

Let him go to mentor Ja. We should trade for Tyus Jones or Bradley Beal, not CP3.

No way you want Beal on this team with his contract.

People are probably talking about signing CP3 via free agency instead of CP3 though

Yeah, but to me, a 65 year old CP3 and his hamstring isn’t someone to trade the farm for. Is it just me or does it feel like LeBron is putting his super friends together again instead of a competitive roster?

I’d rather see him go back to Memphis so we can get Tyus Jones.

Regarding Beal, sure. I’m not paying. And, if we’re over the cap, might as well blow right through it, and the second apron. If we’re trying to be cute with the lux tax, then we’re not going for the win like other teams do. Assuming Suns get Beal; KD, Booker, Beal is quite the trio on the payroll.

We’ll have to play them. That’s a beastly lineup no matter how much they paid.

As a fan, I want my team to blow through the luxury tax and get us the best team.

I want to use the MLE for a defensive big man, not CP3s hammy.
