Saw this on another site. Pretty funny:

Suns starting lineup is so old they have a guy who played for Seattle and a guy who played for the OKC Hornets.

NOLA Hornets ??

If it's the former, you have to wonder how it will affect CP3 psychologically knowing that he isn't the preferred option? Will he be fully bought into this or will it create cracks in his relationship with the organisation?

Chris Paul doesn’t have the option to be fully bought in at 38 and he knows it. This is the best chance at a ring he’ll ever have unless it’s as a victory cigar 12th man when he’s 40.

Guys Jones was literally trying to do nothing again, and Mat just couldn't take it. So he made him get on the phone with Sean Marks and then called up Joe Tsai himself. Lol. (Piecing together Woj + Gambo + JJ's history.)

Dude. That's a huge leap.

Jones obviously wanted KD, but not with giving up Mikal.

They were the New Orleans/Oklahoma City Hornets from 2005-2007.

That’s one interpretation…it could also be that he didn’t have permission to trade Mikal

Trade isn’t finalized…can’t we get them to throw in Royce O’Neale for Saric or Shamet please?
We need Saric against bigger lineups. KD at the 3.
Ehh, who’s got a bigger lineup we’d need Saric for? KD is bigger than Saric
He's taller, but he's definitely not gonna body anyone like Saric.
He’s a much better rim protector…and KD will battle on defense more than you’d think with his physique. Size in the front court is no longer a worry of mine. We have two 7-footers.

Split, in our earlier exchange about Durant as a 4 man, I was undervaluing what he brings on the defensive end. He is an upgrade at the 4, but I still feel he falls short of covering what has been our weakness against JJJ/Adams, Zion/Valanciunas, Giannis/Lopez matchups.

If Ishbia got involved and pushed the deal thru, is he a meddling owner now? Does JJ get any credit for the deal or trying to pull the 3team deal with ATL and DET?

Well I don't think it is an "if" that Ishbia pushed this through.

And Gambo has shot down the ATL rumor.

I guess I'm Twitter illiterate. I don't see the KD response.
Bottom right of the image on the right.
OK, I didn't realize that easymoneysniper was KD. BTW, I'm becoming totally desensitized to the N word as I'm almost finished reading Roots and it is used constantly by both races in the book. Not that I'm going to start using it but it helps explain to me how it is still used in the black community today. Still a derogatory term, I see.

.

Just typical twitter trash from KD. That's how he rolls. Also can't help acting like a child sometimes.

That tweet is the perfect juxtaposition between him and Mikal Bridges.

Gotcha…ya I have defensive concerns all around. Unless Ayton turns into Hakeem we are going to have to outscore people and I do think we will against most teams. The point of attack defense scares me

Would be hilarious if the Suns rope-a-doped Kyrie to sign here, then Ishbia come out and request they trade him a day later to replenish our draft picks.

This is so true. Mikal is the NBA choir boy. I'm really gonna miss him.

We needed Vando.

I hope this deal doesn't get so complicated that the trade call can't get done in time lol.
