Force his ass to stay with you until you both come to a middle ground. They didn’t have to trade him
But, porqué?

lolChris Haynes reporting that the Clippers are looking to trade for CP3. Just what the team whose 2 franchise players literally cannot stay healthy for a single playoff run needs
Weird that Miami didn’t outbid them. I get it he has a ntc but can’t imagine him being deadset on Phoenix. This trade will likely be extended with a 3rd and even 4th teams added I imagine.
Honestly with KD showing clear signs of regression at 34 years old, and Booker now entering his prime, I think a player like Beal, who is towards the end of his prime, does help them tbh. They weren’t going to win a ring next season relying on a selfish loser like Ayton + a 35 year-old KD as their 2nd best player tbh. They needed to make a move, and KD, Book, & Beal are all versatile offensive players who can play on and off-ball, so it shouldn’t be much of an issue. Think think slides KD to the #3 option now, which will be beneficial to both he and the Suns come playoff time.
I’m not saying that this makes them Championship favorites, cause it doesn’t, but disposing of the corpse of CP3 and replacing him with an All-Star talent like Beal does make them a better team. Now if they can flip Ayton for a couple of nice defensive players/depth, they will have a much better outlook going into next season imo.
They probably did, but apparently he deciddd he wanted Phoenix and would only waive his ntc for them.
I get absolute schadenfreude for nephew to repay the karna gods by fading from his exalted status on a team he forced his way onto whose front office displays incompetence and whose teammates can't stay healthy, like him. Please do the deal.Chris Haynes reporting that the Clippers are looking to trade for CP3. Just what the team whose 2 franchise players literally cannot stay healthy for a single playoff run needs
The only abnormality in the plan was the karma gods clearing his path to that Raptor ring by historically devastating his compe ion.
This is a good trade for Phoenix, they sent a player they were going to waive, plus a lesser role player, for a a big time scorer. After the Durant trade Phoenix had no tradable assets other than Ayton, now they're free to use him to replenish their lost depth. This is possibly the only pathway to keep their window open for a couple of years, if they play their cards right.
All those guys can play without the ball in their hands, I don't think that'll be an issue.
Yeah that's one of the worst contracts in the league. Four more years for nearly Steph Curry money for a guy who hasn't played a full season since before the pandemic.
Wizards must of forgotten Wemby is coming out this year not next year.
they weren't about to do that. They all in on the tank and take what they can get. This ain't 2k
Perhaps they're targeting Wembanyama, the brother, in 3 years.
You don’t always burn it to the ground because there’s a generational player coming out. Sometimes you just need to get off the treadmill. 2026 looks to be an interesting draft. There’s already huge buzz about Cameron Boozer, and he’s only 15. Load up on interesting prospects for two years, and tank outright for Boozer for the 2026 draft. He’s 15, and won the nationwide Mr. basketball,in addition to the Florida award.
They could have played their leverage differently, they sucked with or without him.
Better to suck as a team more cheaply. They also had zero leverage with him having a no trade clause.
There leverage was he has 3 years under contract, if they don’t find a deal that’s beneficiary for both party’s he can sit out or suit up whichever one he wants until they find a deal that works for both of them.
Speaking of Bradley Beal, you know which player in the draft is most like him and could possibly be had in the second round? Dariq Whitehead.
I haven’t done too much digging on Whitehead, I do think he could be available at 33
He was never quite right at Duke and didn’t have the same explosiveness he had in high school. We later found out why: he suffered a foot injury prior to the start of the college season and the surgery didn’t fix his injury all the way. He then had a second surgery after the season and is now expected to make a full recovery.
If he can regain his high school form, he is an elite level prospect that would be an absolute steal at 33.
like that never works out, and is like free agent repellant for the future. Sometimes, you just cut your losses. The only thing I will criticize them for is not doing it sooner, like a few years ago.
No. If he were like Bradley Beal, even the college one, he’d be top 5.
No way they keep Ayton after that. Could Spurs be in place for trade ?
I would love for the Clippers to get chrissy - and I cannot wait for the media to overhype the Clips as contenders all season long -
until
all three china dolls go out before the playoffs lol
