Would you Flip Conley for Paul this Off-Season?

Nah, I like CP3 but we need to get longer and more athletic. Also younger and not older.

Part 2:

What's the maximum you would give up to make a CP3/Conley trade work?

Caveat: The Suns under no circumstances want to take more salary on than they trade. A big reason for them doing the trade is to cut cost.

Also the Chris Paul stuff is just another reminder that overly relying on small guards in the playoffs is a very hard way to win.

For as great as CP3 has been throughout his career, he always comes up short (no pun intended) because he just can't be as dominant as someone who is 6'8.

Hopefully the Jazz take note and trade Mitchell ASAP

The thing is that you could make an argument that on the Jazz CP3 wouldnt have to score as much. He'd have Clarkson/Bogey to take more scoring off him than Bridges/Johnson take on. So maybe CP3 could excel in Utah. It's just so risky though because the CP3 massive drop off could come at any moment, and if you have to give up a 1st to make the move from Conley to CP3, that could be tough to swallow, since you would need to move off another first the following year to get off his contract (potentially).

We would still need to address our defensive issues. Either Bogey or Clarkson would need to be moved for a defensive wing, and then if you lose one of those guys CP3 would need to take on a bigger scoring load.

I think the idea would be like @infection said. That CP3 becomes a more vocal leader and guys like PrimaDonovan work harder on D because they are being led by a true leader and not a fraud like Donovan.

Straight up? Of course

Chris Paul is now 37 and signed until he's 39 or 40. I mean, I like him. He's had a great career. I'd go in a different direction from both Conley and CP.

Would be ok doing it in recent past, wouldn't today

He's still really good and would be an obvious improvement, but not make us any younger, taller, physically stronger, etc

Wow, very interesting post that has nothing to do with what is being questioned.

then let me answer you with your own post.

"should have traded for him earlier"

you didn't really expect that clown to give even a quasi intelligent answer ?? I think Conley must have had a gangbang with his Mum, girlfriend and sister all at one time and sent him the video

As much as I can't stand CP3...he has the qualities that the team needs which Conley does not possess. Vocal leadership and toughness. We probably still won't be a championship caliber team because we have too many defensive problems that one person cannot solve, be we would definitely be a 5-10 wins better in the regular season and possibly could make it beyond the 2nd round.

This is probably true but his whining seems to be as contagious. I am not sure how real his toughness is. As Doncic said, everyone is tough when they are up.
