  • Chris Paul going to the Phoenix Suns?

  • Where does where does this trade put the Suns in the Western Conference?

  • I know how I feel about it.

  • Can you tell me?

  • Can you know the answer?

  • It doesn't do anything.

  • It's just they move from 10 Thio seven, maybe six.

  • But then they're running into Golden State.

  • The Lakers, the Clippers yada, yada, yada.

  • So I'm happy that he's able to go and teach and be a mentor.

  • But I'm sad because I really would like to see him much like Harden, have an opportunity to win a championship.

  • You know, I think initially I would have said, you know, when I first heard about, I'm kind of sad, but I respect this move for CP Three Key like this is about at the end of the day, CP three has to do what he wants to do for himself.

  • And, uh, look, I think they will be what o.

  • K.

  • C was last year.

  • It keeps Devin Booker happy in Phoenix, which, obviously, for Monty Williams and company, that's a huge move to keep your star player happy.

  • It gives him the floor leader.

  • Now they're still in the West is still the same up a bad uphill battle.

  • But also, I think this is who CP three is.

  • See, I don't think you ever see CP three just say, Hey, I want to take the easy way out, maybe and go to a team like where you plays with three other All stars.

  • I don't think that's him.

  • I don't think he's cut from that cloth like to say a part of us.

  • We like to see players that want to go do it on their own right now.

  • Granted.

  • Maybe he could have got to the Clippers, but maybe didn't work out that way.

  • Trade asset wise.

  • But I'm okay with him being a Phoenix.

  • I like seeing that backwards.

  • It's fine being in Phoenix, in the backcourt, into teaching and all of those things.

  • I'm just talking about the championship aspirations for him from for me personally, because he's such a you know, a CP three.

  • I want to see him win a championship.

  • I don't want to see him, you know when when his Hall of Fame speeches, you know, he was great and he was this and that, but he didn't win a championship it didn't have an opportunity to really win a championship.

  • That's all I'm saying.

  • I think it's a fine move.

  • But out of like to have seen him in Milwaukee instead, they go get Drew holiday.

  • I don't like to have seen him with the Clippers.

  • Instead, they may go still.

  • Rondo from us in L A.

  • So I don't know.

  • I just Kate, let me ask.

  • Let me ask.

  • You and Chris this so big, Great question for you both.

  • So, yeah, winning a championship is important, but how you win a championship is important too, right?

  • Especially if you value that.

  • So, at that stage of your career, what either one of you guys just be willing to say, Hey, like, just take me to another team where I can play with LeBron or somebody else just to win a chip?

  • Or would you still wanna be like Frank Sinatra?

  • I'm You can send me over there, y e because I'm going to be an important part of that chasing of the ring clearly because the Clippers couldn't finish last year.

  • Now I'm bringing that that dog mentality that the Clippers are missing to the equation.

  • I'm bringing that or that dog mentality that may be honest, is missing in Milwaukee.

  • That's so I'm not talking about going and being the ninth man on the bench.

  • I'm talking about still going and being an All Star, except I'm now with some dudes that could help get that chip.

  • That's all.

  • J.

  • I had one question drew holidays on the move as key mentioned.

  • And Yonas has got a big decision coming up in the next couple of weeks, whether or not he's gonna take the Supermax offer that we're anticipating the Bucks giving him what do you think this move does for the Bucks from a basketball standpoint?

  • And do you expect Yonas to decide to stay in Milwaukee?

  • Long term, I would see.

  • Look, if James Harden comes to the East, there's nothing that Yannis or the Milwaukee Bucks will be able to do even with Bogdanovich.

  • And you think drew holiday, Um, they would be the favorites by far to win.

  • I think Milwaukee would be close depending upon what they had to give up.

  • But look, if I were you honest, I would sign a one year because I was signed in one year.

  • I would say, Hey, look, you guys have made moves.

  • I appreciate that.

  • Let's see what we can do this year way Feel like we're in better contention.

  • Moving forward.

  • But, man, if James Harden comes to the East and he comes to the Nets, that's gonna make everybody look at things differently.

  • And East everything's going to be.

  • Harden could be on the move.

  • Maybe, Just maybe, Yannis is if he doesn't like what he sees there.
