Has nothing to do with missing our top 5 in the league best player and also our 3rd best player. Couldnt be that.

How are those steals coming along buddy? Defensive win shares? Weird you’re not posting the updated rankings. Interesting. Now why is that!

Portland has a losing record because they traded for him.

We had a winning record last season. Portland did not.

Anyway, I wasn't trying to prove it by logic, I'm arguing that he would have helped us win some of these games (especially with scoring) that we've lost with Beal and/or Booker out.

Fun fact, Grayson Allen is out scoring DA this season

Fun fact, Eric Gordon is out scoring DA this season

Don't you think it is a lot more about the CP3 -> Beal trade? If we had a healthy CP3 these past 11 games instead of a mostly absent Beal, I bet we would have won 2-3 more games. Not that I would want to undo the trade, but that's my personal view on it. Also, missing Booker is obviously the biggest factor over either trade's impact.

[Split T]

Considering Beal hasn’t really played I would agree. If we still had CP3, we’d probably be at least 7-4

We should all be massive Ayton fans tonight…we could really use Portland knocking off LA for in-season tournament standings.

I don't regret the Paul for Beal trade in the slightest, but yes, this the much greater factor in the W-L record than Ayton v. Nurkic/Allen/Little.
