They couldn’t trade him for ANYTHING over the summer. He’s a distressed asset at that age and number, but he’s still a really good player on a team going nowhere.There’s no way in hell OKC is trading Paul for our “garbage.” If they’re looking to clear salary, they can do better than that.
To put the money in perspective, OKC would save $50-$80 million real dollars by trading CP3 for Conley. Conversely, the Jazz would be taking ON that money but probably more since it will almost certainly push them above the tax in his last year.
