We don't need Thio.

Imagine what that would look like since he played there for six seasons.

We could just use one of the old pictures.

Um Tim Bontemps.

With this potential trade, you need to get creative, get a third team to make it work.

So here is the fake three team deal the Clippers would get Chris Paul.

The thunder would get Nicolas Batum and riding McGruder from the Hornets.

The Hornets get Montrose Herald via a sign and trade Lou Williams and Patrick Beverley.

I mean, what do you think about CP three going back to L.

A into the Clippers locker room?

Okay, so the mock trade aside, which draws a very reaction for me from Oklahoma City, is getting.

Obviously, this is a perfect fit for the Clippers.

Everything that we talked about, that they're lacking in terms off veteran voice, someone who's going to tell people to get their heads out of their, you know, where's someone who's gonna help that offense that was so stagnant in the playoffs last year.

Get more ball movement, Mawr passing more scoring opportunities for everybody and then obviously the defense and the familiarity that he has with the organization with the city.

Chris Paul is the greatest clipper of all time.

If you look at it, if you if you take how long he was here, what he accomplished here.

So it would be on Lee fitting for him to return to the Clippers and help them get across the hunk.

Yeah, I think this is the best possible fit.

If you put Chris, Paul and Clippers with Hawaii and Paul George, you're looking at the next super team, I believe.

I mean, Chris Paul playing at a great All star level in some people's eyes M v p level and you know it.

Quiet and Paul George bring to the table.

Absolute best possible fifth of him, uh, they need his leadership in this team would be the favorite if they had Chris Paul.

The only thing I if I could be the negative guy here Alright is the only thing I see wrong with the fit is all of those guys need the ball in the hands.

Every one of them are play off the dribble type players and when one has it to other guys are standing like when we were in Miami.

We had Dwayne and LeBron, who needed the ball in her hands.

Chris Bosch was a little different, whereas thes three guys are all that way.

If T.

Lucan get it toe work.

If this was toe happen, it would be exactly what he said.

A super team, which means all of those guys would have to sacrifice a little bit.

But it could also be something where guys have pissed off at each other and it could get ugly so it could go either way.

I just think I had a super talent like Chris Paul, even though he's older.

He showed you that he still got a lot in the tank and he would add a lot to that locker room as a leader Now, obviously, there were some locker room issues last time Chris Paul was in L.

A.

Paul, you would know you had the inside inside on that more than any of us.

But, you know, a lot of the guys would be gone.

I mean, this trade would actually move some of the guys in the locker room issues of this past season, which Chris Paul had nothing to do with are also something that Tyler is gonna have to figure out there.

So there's a whole black going on there.

I want to move on to the 70 Sixers who we know will be open to dealing with Daryl Morey and Elton branded the helm.

Uh, Tim provided this potential trade another three team deal to make it work here.

Sixers get Chris Paul reuniting with Doc Rivers in Philly.

The Thunder get, but he healed.

Desire Smith, Mike Scott, The Kings Get out Horford and OK's 20 21st round pick via Philadelphia.

They got so many pics and the sun I don't even know you could keep track.

Whose pictures From where?

I mean, what do you think about the fit with the Sixers?

I think of the playoff teams.

This is probably one of the worst fits.

I think that Doc Rivers has his work cut out in terms of trying to figure out how to make him beat in Simmons co occupy the floor.

Obviously, Simmons, when the ball is not in his hands, it's a little bit like what what?

Coach said With the Clippers, he's a guy needs the ball in his hands.

The differences, at least in the Clippers.

Quiet.

Paul George taken space.

Benson is up in this point of his career.

Hasn't shown an ability to either space or be productive off ball s.

So I think that bringing Chris Paul in there is kind of a dangerous situation.

The other thing I worry about is Chris Paul is a direct communicator, and I don't know if those guys are OK with having that kind of direct communication levied their way.

And then finally, I got a question.

Chris, Paul and Doc Rivers.

That relationship didn't exactly end on roses and and kind of sweet smelling, uh, tunes or whatever.

So could they reconcile?

Is that gonna be an issue?

So I'm not as high on this fit.

Me neither.

I don't want to see Doc and Chris.

Paul Reconciler.

They tried it.

The marriage lasted so long, it didn't work.

Divorce.

Everybody went their separate ways.

There's no need to look back.

Yeah, I don't think this is a good fit.

It all And like think about it.

You think Chris Paul wants to be in the middle of these two young guys feuding and having to always try toe, keep pulling them back in right now and and it's the same, he said.

It took the words right out of my mouth.

It's worse than the Clippers.

From the standpoint of you got two other guys who really need the ball in there.

But they do not provide spacing for each other.

And so I agree.

Totally, uh, what I mean and I don't think this is a good fit.

I agree with that.

I will say that having been in the bubble, Chris, Paul and Doc Rivers not only had two but work together on purpose in the bubble quite a bit, especially after the Milwaukee Bucks situation with their walkout.

So I think that situation, actually and being in the bubble together actually mended some of the fences if they were a little bit torrent and broken, Um, from the Clippers experience that being said, I don't know if they need to go right back to working against with each other, but you didn't re marry her, Paul.

Um, rank the teams mean as the best trade destinations for Chris.

Paul, what do you got at the end of all this?

I think number one has got to be the Bucks.

I think the reason why is that their closest to getting over the hump, the Eastern Conference, while it's tough, is not a stuff in the Western Conference.

And I think the natural fit there is key clippers or two sixes.

As I said, our number three and then I said, the producer Steve, can I put hell as number four?

He said, No, I have to put the Knicks so we'll go to E.

I mean, I'm gonna I'm gonna let anyone else follow up on that.

We're just We're just gonna go to break Producer Steve is.

He just wants to end on that.

That's all I got to say.
