The one big downside of this team for years is a alpha dog on the court. CP3 and Rondo years are the highest point of this franchise.

All I see and read on here is no one wants to pay the big bucks and get a leader. Yall always frown upon my trade Brandon Ingram comments but he is in his 6th year and has shown no signs of leadership.
He is our biggest asset among players we can trade for. I say go all out and let Coach Willie bring his boy Cp3 back!

All I got Hoss

Trading Ingram for 3 years of late 30s CP3 at stupid money? If Griffin did that I would hope he would be fired and exiled from the NBA forever

There is no “floor general” available to get us over the hump right now. The ball will still be I. Zion’s or BI’s hands the majority of the time this season. We just need someone who will not make stupid mistakes and the turn the ball over in the Half Court, and shoot when he is open.

If you are going to pay 30Mil to Lowery to play the role of Chris Paul, just offer it to CP3. He has a great relationship with Green

I agree with that.

Has anyone really said that?

If you are saying we should trade Ingram for CP3, you need to leave the internet for a while. That’s just beyond dumb.

Suns are a notable cheap organization...you offer the max to CP3 and force the Suns to match...If they go cheap (as they usually do), you get him.

CP3 isn’t coming here. Not gonna happen. He’s lose MILLIONS of dollars if he left and it’s just not happening.

So who do you want to trade or sign that is a leader? It’s easy to say go get a leader like Michael Jordan. It’s harder to actually do it. So who do you want?

This is an incomplete thought. Trade him for what? Dame? #2 Pick and a future pick? A ham sandwich?

Ingram can be your third star like a Bosh or a Kevin Love. No need to give him away unless you are getting a legit star or big value in return.
