CP3 ending back in NOLA

This is highly unlikely, but it would be one of the most interesting trades in the history of the NBA. Chris Paul would end where it began, him along with Clint Capela and Eric Gordon would be good fits to win now with Zion Williamson for the Pelicans.

Also for the Pelicans, the Anthony Davis drama is over and they have a boatload of picks. The 4 future picks that the Rockets considered trading for Butler would draw a Big Three of Harden, AD, and Jrue Holiday, and that team may win the championship next year.

Putting a player of Chris Paul’s stature up for trade will garner a lot of attention from some mid-market teams that cannot afford the big superstars.

Some of the trades listed are more likely than others, but I feel more teams should be interested in CP3, I know his contract and age situation is not ideal, but he still brings a lot to the table.
