Recently, well-known host Ryen Russillo talked about Thunder guard Chris Paul in a podcast. He said that the Clippers are currently very interested in meeting Paul:
"The Clippers are obviously interested in Paul... Basically, I have told any team that is interested in trading him, “Hey, I don’t want you to trade your players for me, I just want to come and join.” But when you earn 40 million a year, you will earn another 4,000 next year. It's really difficult to do this (buyout) at ten thousand times. Therefore, Paul will not reach any form of buyout with the Thunder." Ryen Russillo said.
And, Ryen Russillo revealed that Leonard is recruiting Paul and hopes he can join the Clippers:
"One thing really surprised me because I feel that Kawhi (Leonard) is a distant and mysterious creature. , Doesn't talk to anyone. But it is said that Kawhi immediately found Paul and told him,'Hey, you should come here.' So this part is real, and the pursuit is real." Ryen Russillo continued.
Leonard's move is actually fulfilling his "promise", because as early as the day when the tie-break was out, he told reporters that the team must play smarter and the basketball IQ must be improved.
And Paul's basketball IQ is quite high. If he can join the Clippers, he can at least increase the team's basketball IQ by 10 points!
The next thing to study is the bargaining chip! The Clippers can send out a dozen role players to match Paul’s contract, such as Lu Wei + Harrell (sign first and then change) + Beverly, or Lu Wei + McRudd + Jeffrey Green + Paterson + Bay Foley + picks...
