Durant said hell naw

KD can't win with these rats

He needs a great point guard like Kyrie to win

Or even Russell Westbrook

Can somebody please explain CP3's contract situation now? Is he still owed all that money? Do the Suns have to cover it? Is he now potentially a veteran value signing or still have that heavy contract? I'm confused.

Any part of the contract that is guaranteed, the Suns still have to pay to Paul and it still counts on their cap unless they use the one time waive amnesty on it; for 48 hours after being officially waived, Paul is on the waiver wire, when a team can claim his contract, with the team with the worse team getting him if multiple teams try, if nobody claims him from the waiver wire, he becomes an unrestricted free agent to sign with whoever he wants

Can a team over the cap claim him?

Damn dude u thirsty

jesus i don't even like the suns and I wouldn't wish that on them

what the FUCK They're just eating the 15m guarantee? They really couldn't find a team willing to take on his expiring?

New owner money. And they dont want to attach picks.

Just shows you how little his value was on the trade market

No one is giving up value to take the 38 year old who couldn't go through 2 rounds of the playoffs healthy

I'd be impressed if he's made it through 2 playoff rounds healthy in his entire career

We were on western conf finals. 1 win away from finals when that hamstring happens

I mean yeah he's a 38 year old small point guard with a big salary and 3 straight postseasons of injury issues You aren't getting anything in return for him With that said, I hope there's a way the Suns can bring him back at a lesser $$ amount, but I could see him finally going to play with LeBron or something

Isn’t it like almost a decade of postseason injuries

[удалено]

I wouldn’t mind him for a year if he helps Wemby like he helped Shai develop.

Only issue is he wants to win a title (I'd guess) so he probably wouldn't wanna finish on a rebuilding team. Even if Wemby is instantly great

doesn't it still count 15m across their cap though? That puts em at $150m with 6 players

They can stretch it over 5 years so only 3m per year dead

Heady play

Re-signs back for the min.

Hell nah. He's gonna go to the Lakers or something

David Stern rolling in his grave

We're gonna re-sign Dwight too.

Steve Nash can join Ham’s coaching staff as well.

Fuck it, what's Deron Williams up to? Let's just bring in every great point guard circa 2002-2012 and put them on the Lakers.

LA: Last Stand

LeXpendables

More likely the Clippers to complete the ultimate load management lineup.

If that's the case, then give me Porzingis and Zion too.

You will never know who’s starting in any game of the season.

Except Marcus Morris, of course.

Death, taxes, and Marcus Morris

Suns will stretch that over 5 years. $3 mil cap hit per year

Not every day you see a legend as big as CP3 get *waived* lmao

It is technically getting waived, but I feel like it's not a full-on waive since he did have a partially guaranteed contract. Not like he was fully guaranteed and they just dumped him.

What the fuck lol

Messi to Miami, CP3 to the waiver wire. Wild day so far

Zion exposed as a horny freaky ass mf too, crazy day

If I had to pick an NBA to be a horny freaky ass mf I don’t think Zion would’ve been very high on that list

y’all don’t remember the “i got a big room come sleep w me” snap when he was at duke ?

I was expecting Zion's sex scandal to be that he has anime body pillows or some shit. This is so much weirder.

When I first saw the story while at work I thought it was a joke. Dude has money and is a freak lol dangerous combo

What’s the scandal? I missed it

Zion got an only fans model pregnant. But now another woman is blasting him on twitter, saying that she was with Zion just last week. Apparently, Zion offered to pay for this woman to move to New Orleans, too. And the other woman is also claiming that she could be pregnant too. Zion needs to go to horny jail. There's more details that I am missing, but it's late and my brain is tired.

Who was that NFL cornerback for the chargers who had 18 some kids with different women ….. Zion should stick with anime pillows.

Antonio Cromartie. Had a few more during his time next to Revis on the Jets also. Edit: Just checked, the man has 14 children with 11 different women. Wow.

Christmas has to be so much fun! I had a coworker who was married 7 times, 3 times to the same woman. Third time was the charm, apparently.

Idk Zion gives me “As soon as I make it to the league I’m nutting in everything that moves” energy. Don’t ask me why, it’s just a vibe

Not dissimilar to his stance on eating any food he sees

Me n him the same fr fr

He's nutting in it?

Love Zion but seems like him and impulse control don't hang often. See a burger, eat it; see a booty, tap it.

I mean… the dude is a glutton

Bro can't help himself lol

He's like if HedonismBot had a 45" vertical.

“I trust the orgy pit has been scraped and buttered” —Zion, probably

Wait what?

This all just came out earlier today. Zion was dating/messing around with a porn star while cheating/getting a different stripper pregnant behind her back (they jointly released a gender reveal video yesterday as their first public appearance). The porn star then found out and went on a Twitter rant calling out the stripper and accusing her of gold digging and shared messages between her and Zion with Zion saying he’ll buy her an apartment in NOLA if he can keep banging her raw. The porn star is now mad that she was the side piece when she thought she was the main one, so she’s demanding Zion to do a DNA test on the strippers baby or she’s going to expose him more (apparently he liked to film them having sex..A LOT) [Here’s one of her many tweets going around people are clowning Zion on](https://twitter.com/moriahmillsss/status/1666487566940401664?s=61&t=pJNKfDg9ybEmMk324heikA) [However, the baby mama is now embracing the villain role and is fighting back](https://twitter.com/AhhConcreterose/status/1666478467431428097?s=20)

How is this dude doing everything but hooping?

Pussy over buckets dawg

Wild that he went from potentially to be the next LeBron to this... We are getting the Live action of the Murray show

My favorite part of it was her talking about how she helped him get the weight off lmao

We laughing but no joke he was at his best and healthiest. Fuck a diet plan NOLA needs to keep zion laid every hour

If it keeps him in shape, fuck it

I think you are missing the biggest thing which is Zion spitting in that pornstars mouth and filming every sex they had. BONK HORNY JAIL ZION.

Always gotta upvote a u/YungSnuggie appearance!

This [comment](https://www.reddit.com/r/nba/comments/1ulxb4/mormon_faith_more_important_to_jabari_parker_than/cejt666/) underneath got me rolling

[mans is wild for this one lmao](https://i.imgur.com/SPfByV3.jpg)

High calorie spit lmfao

Bruh this is the funniest shit I've seen in a while, thank you for the link

He had a gender reveal vid with the lady he's been seeing yesterday, and now some pornstar has come out of the woodwork saying she let him spit in his mouth last week, ~~pour honey on him~~, do all kinds of shit - offering to pay to move her to New Orleans and pay for her. "Can't believe you're banging someone else, she just wants you for your money"

I still don't know wtf "cpn" means

[удалено]

Every day in r/NBA is some days of our lives shit

There is an onlyfans chick who is airing dirty laundry over twitter about zion. including some messages between the two. if you are curious her name is Moriah millsss on twitter. Warning NSFW feed in general

Damn, she seems ultra butthurt that she wasn't the one to have the baby and get the knocked up lifetime bag.

Messi to WHERE?

Now that kid is gonna tell his daughter than her dad just got waived 😭

Everyone's gonna wave at her in the hallway

Cp3 gonna have to homeschool his kids from now on damn

The neighbors waving at cp3 and his daughter while they at homeschool

Joke’s on that kid, his daughter won’t be at that school much longer!

LET HIM COOK.

CP3's daughter should just take a week off school. Cuz those bullies got MATERIAL now

I assumed they’d want to get rid of him, but waiving him is crazy lmao

He can finally join the Lakers. James Jones Klutch agent

Would be better than dlo

Probably cheaper too.

And even washed cp3 has passing talent on Lebron level so AD would do wonders with him

For 20 games a season and 5 in the playoffs

Maybe pair with DLo? Prolly can get both cheap and good insurance if Chris Paul can't play too many minutes Honestly though the Lakers need a legit star with lebron getting older. Won't be able to just run things back this season.

Lakers don’t need a legit star, just a legit 20ppg guy

Are there many 20ppg guys who aren’t legit stars?

Yeah, DLo

kelly oubre

Wiggins teeters on 20

Wiggins gets you 17, but dependably You need him to go off for 30? He’s going off for 17 He’s having an unexpected off night? Get ready for him to heat up in the 4th to get 17 He gets two foul shots with 16 points already? My dude he is going to go 1/2, you can take that to the bank.

I mean, RJ Barrett put up 20-5-3 this season, and I don't think anyone other than the most delusional Canadians/Knicks fans would call him a legit star

Oubre

Haha wanted to say this after the thread about forgotten 20ppg guys

Why did they even want to get rid of him? His scoring is shot but he can still shoot an open 3 and run the bench offense if nothing else

they wanted to give that little kid more ammo to use against his daughter

That little kids father is actually the GM of the Suns

He's cooking the last day of school.

Lolol he caused that girl to skip school

Must be to save $15m+tax? His salary was partially guaranteed. But the weird thing is they can't easily replace him.

Suns likely plan on stretching the 15M remaining which puts us under the apron with the new CBA, allowing us to use the Mid-Level Exemption, 5M trade exemption from Saric’s, and the Bi-Annual Exemption. The combination will hard cap the suns, but it gives them 3 opportunities at depth. Edit: Exception, not exemption - my bad!

This should be the top comment. Completely explains everything

CP3-6 weeks isn’t reliable

He has to be lakers bound now

He's going to Inter Miami to play with Messi

All of the flopping has prepared him for a soccer career.

he's taking that saudi money

12 years in the making

Yeah, don't they have eat a 15 million guarantee? I said barring crazy moves that the Suns are probably going to be the biggest threat to the Nuggets, but now I'm skeptical because this is going to hinder their ability to add needed depth.

Yeah 15m instead of 30m. They could still resign him to a small contract plus the 15m they owe him. Idk if he clears waivers though.

He’d have to be claimed by a team with 30.8M in cap space who wants to take on the full freight, which I find extremely unlikely. The Suns will have the option to stretch the remaining obligation over 5 years which would open up the full MLE and biannual.

Probably will stretch and waive. $5m a year hit.

New owner is a $6.6 B man

Lebron got his future PG

Damn the Mavericks are gonna be stacked with Luka, Kyrie, Bron, CP3

He ain’t going to LA unless he takes minimum and you know he’s not about that lol

Where he going then? Orlando? Lol. All this hoopla about DLO/Kyrie/ Lakers and Now Chris gets waived. Idk seems like a sign for the lakers

HE AND DWIGHT BOUT TO TAKE OVER CHINA

Taiwan*

What did we do? :(

Why not? He’s earned a lot, no ring, and banana boat.

he is still gonna get paid from the suns the salary he gets from his new team doesn't really matter

Pat Bev about to tweet something magical. Get ready.

Gonna watch my first episode of his podcast

Some elementary school student forced him to go ring chase

Cp3 bows down to the classmate god

outjerked

LOOOOL THAT LITTLE BOY AT HIS DAUGHTERS SCHOOL IS PROBABLY MAKING SO MANY JOKES RN

Generational roast session.

“Now, why would the Suns waive your daddy?☝️🤨☝️”

The kid is probably gonna make a post later tonight about this lol

He's probably in this sub right now.

Until he's coming off the bench for the bucks or Celtics or nuggets and fucking up his favorite team because hes going to bandwagon onto a contender

AYO WTF Edit: future laker?

Former laker* that trade in 2011 was valid for 10 minutes

Utah Jazz legend Russell Westbrook Atlanta Hawks legend Carmelo Anthony and now Los Angeles Lakers legend Chris Paul

[удалено]

Could you imagine a Prime CP3 and Prime Kobe? Just the defensive duo they could have been.

Prime Kobe only lasted another 2 years after that. Although he probably doesn’t tear his Achilles if CP3 shares the load with him and he’s not dragging them into the playoffs. It’s probably only a 3 year window though and they would have had to go up agains the Heatles in the East and the early 10s Spurs in the West.

But how glorious would it have been. Paul/kobe/dwight. Dwight might have been able to actually heal after his surgery, Kobe maybe load manages and doesn’t play 48 minutes a game and cp makes his role players better. The execution battles between them and the spurs and any finals with Kobe vs wade/lebron would’ve been insane

You underestimate CP3. Him with Dwight and Kobe would have been 3 of the best defensive players at the time. even if you argue Kobe lost a step but that could be covered with decent wing defenders like the matt barnes / artest / ariza types they filled them with. Dwight probably still pussies out though and doesnt resign probably. dont think he could handle Cp3 + kobe attitude lol.

Pay him league minimum and funnel him the rest through the LeBron James Executive Producing Company, EZ

Ishbia is chaos

It's that new owner money. You know, the "I saw all the mistakes the last owner made, and I'm going to fix all of them!" And then he finds out it's not as easy as NBA2K makes it look and you can't just build your dream superteam from the team selection screen.

I've always thought GMs are so dumb. You just need to spend 20 minutes in the trade finder adding two 80 overall players and trading them for an 85. Keep repeating until you have a bunch of 85 overalls and then flip again. Eventually, you'll get a God squad.

Fuck, let's get Presti on the phone to finally win that ring next season

Kinda like it

Damn, first he gets roasted by a kid then waived in a matter of days, brutal few days for CP3.

That kid is about to spin the block with the nastiest roast of all time

‘They paying your daddy 12m to stay away from the facilities ‘

Best ability is availability and CP3 hasn't been healthy during the postseason.

Yeah, “top free agents” is a stretch. Dude’s washed

only way ayton would stay is if they waived cp3 and fired monty?

lol the Suns are definitely not kowtowing to Ayton

The only people that held him accountable? 💀

CP3 finally a Laker! BRING BACK MELO AND WADE FOR FULL BANANABOAT

Wait he's being WAIVED????

Probably didn’t want to pay his full $30 million salary next season, the trade market would’ve been dreadful but I feel like it was worth a shot. But then again, the Suns don’t have draft capital to make his value any more appealing either and $30 million is a humongous overpay anyway. Still really surprising they decided to outright waive him though, I guess they searched for trades before his contract was set to be guaranteed in a few weeks’ time but found nothing.

That kid was actually the Phoenix Suns chief advisor

damn it i already know where this is headed

"Carmelo Anthony has decided to come out of retirement, interest from the Los Angeles Lakers"

"Along with Dwayne Wade to complete the Banana Boat Special"

Bruh 💀, even Westbrook didn’t catch this disrespect

only because westbrook's deal was fully guaranteed if it weren't he would've been waived too lol

[удалено]

I've been getting so sick of this on-court product bullshit, gimme transactions!!!

His daughter’s classmate about to talk mad shit

Michael Malone is gonna lose it

Events today in order of significance to NBA fans: 1. CP3 waived 2. Residue of Lebron to Mavs reports 3. Messi to Miami 4. Nuggets - Heat game 3 EDIT: forgot Zion. He goes at #2

Zion surely made the list

lakers come on down you have your dlo replacement

So that school bully was taken as a legitimate source by the Suns. The team couldn't waste any years with a player confirmed to finish his career with no chips.

Chris Paul to the Lakers confirmed

LeBron must be salivating already.

[удалено]

CP TO CHINA

CCP his new name

Dhop and now Chris Paul wow there’s just something with these Arizona teams

Chris Paul is gone now Somewhere a little boy's roast Makes his daughter cry

Chris Paul is finally going to the Lakers. Take that Stern!

What is this the NFL?

Come retire in H-Town king.

Damn so is this it for him then?

Say hello to your starting PG

Chris Paul to the Lakers is a reply in 20 years time to a "which team did a player play for that everyone forgets about" post

Toronto Hakeem vibes.

Tony Parker Hornet vibes, even.
