In an offseason where we have seen multiple teams stack superstars in an effort to create the next dynasty, former NBA player and current analyst Ryan Hollins thinks that there is one more move to be made to create a legitimate super-team. Hollins advocated for Chris Paul to make a move to the Philadelphia 76ers before the season starts, stacking the team even further.
Here are Hollins thoughts on the CP3 scenario.
“I’m not number punching, I’m not trying to figure too many different things out, but he has to go to Philadelphia,” he said. “If I’m Chris Paul, I’m on the phones, I’m working the systems with my agent. If I’m Elton Brand, I’m calling around seeing if Chris Paul can get a buyout situation because they can’t afford that contract. If he gets in that offense in Philadelphia, the one they desperately need — and no disrespect to Ben Simmons and maybe they can learn because there’s a big enough age gap, a difference there — is they need a floor general.”
Putting Paul on the Sixers probably makes them the favorites to win it all next season. The team would be brimming with talent from every position in their starting lineup.
The trade would be difficult to actually pull off. For one, Paul would have to decline quite a bit of money and be bought out. Secondly, the move might not please Ben Simmons, who certainly believes he can lead this team victory as the starting point guard.
On the slim chance this move actually happens, we will officially have the newest super-team in the NBA.
